My husband and I will always repackage. The portion that we freeze will be kept Being cautious is the best course of action. In a few weeks, when I go camping, I'll repackage them in my car and take them with me. I will still be able to use some when I return home and will put them back in As far as I can tell, they have been fine. *br>When I repacked, I did so quickly so that the contents would not absorb water very much. I would also avoid touching them with my hands or anything else that may introduce bacteria to them. There are times when I divide a package in half and place it in a freezer bag. In the event that I won't be using them soon, I'll put the unsealed freezer bags inside a vacuum bag, seal it, and store it in the freezer until I go camping or backpacking.
This is a question I was wondering as well. A total of 4 were ordered and a single one was delivered. It might be a good idea to be a bit more diligent when placing orders.
You can rehydrate all the freeze dried products with room temperature water, but the taste is not as good as it would be with
The manufacture date is 30 years ago and I would not throw it away after 30 years.
Selected User Reviews For Mountain House Beef Stew, Pouch
There is nothing better than eating this stuff. My gear storage is so stocked with pouches that I often take one out to eat at home when I'm too lazy to prepare A perfect balance of spices, which accompanies a generous helping of meat and chunky vegetables. There is a good amount of protein, so it's very filling. The pouch can be finished with the help of another person, but without it, it is almost impossible. On a recent search and rescue mission to Peru, I took a box of these with my team (International Disaster Response) and it was easily one of the best meals we had. The dogs, as well as everyone else, loved them! The woman did not like beef stew (No she did not The pouch was filled with gravy, so she immediately licked it out!.
The reason I waited months to post this review was so that I could see if my opinion had changed from my first packet to my fourth or fifth. That's not going to change, I still think it's awesome. The only complaint I have is that the "emergency supply" keeps being used up on a regular basis. How can Mountain House do such justice to a meal that is made from a couple cups of water and ten minutes of my time? There's nothing better than walking in to a house with a couple of kids who answer you "muh?" When you interrupt their cellular phone induced coma and ask them if they know what dinner might be like, they respond with "I wahwa woh. " Then what?" "Muh?" The work of a mother. That's no problem at all! Two cups of water can be boiled in the microwave in less than ten minutes, and Mountain House goodness is readily available. It has become apparent to me that hotter water gets better results, and that skipping a few cups of water will give many more results unless the meal contains rice or biscuits/dumplings. It's not the first time I eat these meals several times a month, and I haven't been disappointed with any yet. It's just that I have to hide them out of fear that someone might find out about Is there anything special for dinner? "Care to share? Hi Dad, what can I serve you? Ask Mom. " His response was, "Muh, ask Mom. ".
Let me start off by saying that I have pretty low expectations for the When dried or stored on a shelf Good food that will not go bad. While I'm aware they'll never taste as good as what I make from scratch, most products just seem to be a total disappointment when it comes to flavor. This being said, I was very pleased with the beef stew when we had decided to try it. Pour two cups of boiling water into the pack, remove the packet, and open the pack. All it takes is a quick stir, then you can seal the bag and dinner will be ready in eight minutes. Because let's face it It's important to have an easy prep process. The whole reason I'm buying this instead of making it myself is because I want to be able to do it now. I'm pleased with the way things have gone so far! There is a tendency for most freeze-dried food to go bad The flavor of dried meals is incomparably bland, even when they are loaded with salt. Not so This is by no means comparable to what I can do with a dutch oven, some scratch ingredients, and unlimited time, but this is a long way from your average frozen dish. Dinner cured in dried leaves. fact, I feel confident in saying that this is the best frozen food I have ever had This is the worst dried dinner I have ever eaten. It was possible to taste each flavor individually, but nothing overpowered. I wasn't crazy about the texture (the beef itself was a little tough), but I don't think there is much I can do about it with frozen food You can find dried food in any supermarket. One more problem I have with backpackers is that they do not disclose the amount of gear they have The interface is friendly and freeze-free A common complaint about dried foods is that their portion sizes are so large. The serving size for a container is If the size of each portion is 8", my wife and I will usually have just a tiny There's no such thing as that in this case. Even if it was only a 5 We received two large portions of hearty stew from the ounce package. It would be hard to come up with a better quick meal if you added a slice or two of buttered bread You need to prepare
In other words, this is exactly the kind of recipe I want to have on hand for when I come home from a long hike and do not have time to prepare, cook, or clean up. You can make dinner for two just by adding boiling water, and watching the stars for a few minutes. I've done it. A hassle-free way to get things done You can have it for free and it's delicious.
So I can make my own personal pouches of the meals I enjoy, I will buy canisters of those meals I like. By doing so, I will have the option of modifying them a bit. In order to create these small pouches, I purchased smaller foil ziploc bags to create smaller foil pouches. I love how easily these meals can be cooked by simply adding boiling water. It was pretty tasty on its own, the beef stew For the next batch, I would probably use 1/4 cup less water than what's called for. It calls for 2 cups of water The pouch contains 5 servings. My experience this time was that the flavor was a bit watery since I added 2 cups. In addition to the powdered beef gravy mix, I added some shredded white cheddar cheese. In the future, I plan to include some in my individual pouches. Adding it to the flavor really makes a difference. Furthermore, I'll be adding some pepper to each individual pouch. There were four eggs in my recipe, so I added two tablespoons of gravy mix powder. I bought a 3 ounce bag of beef stew and it was perfect. I will definitely purchase a canister of the stew and create my own pouches from.
The frozen treats looked good to me, but I didn't want to eat them Check out my dried food options at home before committing to buying them and stock up to take on my motorcycle adventure trips. Basically, I am testing a bunch of different brands and recipes and I will blog my experiences once I have tested each. It seems that the Beef Stew comes out better if you boil it in the pot rather than pour boiling water in the packet and wait the 10 minutes the directions say. I understand that this is to make cleaning up easier afterward, and I will keep it in mind when water is The hydration is just what I needed for a quick, one person meal. I found half a pack to be sufficient for two people (one pack should last for 3-4 people, depending on how you eat them). There are 5 portions). You can also tell from the image that I posted that it is right, i. e. The food looks real, instead of being mushy, indistinct, and unrecognizable.
