Mountain House is famous for their wide assortment of freeze dried meals. But how do you cook a freeze-dried meal without using a stove! When the power goes out, or the gas goes off, or you're away from a power source, the Mountain House Flameless Oven heating system can still allow you to make a hot meal. So it's perfect for emergency preparedness. You don't need fuel, electric or even matches. The reusable oven pouch has everything needed to heat five meals. It contains five heating pads, five salt tables, and a mini-mixing bottle. All you need is ambient temperature water. There are no toxic fumes released during the heating process, but you do have to be very careful to avoid touching the escaping steam as the meal cooks. The pouch does get very hot while it's cooking. Making a Mountain House freeze dried meal takes anywhere from about 8 to 15 minutes depending on the entree you're making. The Mountain House Flameless Oven Kit is $12.50 at REI. (Link below)
