I have taken hot dogs chopped into 1/4 inch planks soaked in a soy and dried for the dogs. They love it... I eat it when hungry...

I get the Barilla microwave pasta meals for quick meals at home.
Has anyone repackaged them and cooked them on the trail using their camp stove and a cook pot ?

They are modern MRE and they do not dehydrate well as they will be tasteless. They are heat and ready to go, but require clean up. Check out FBC instead.JimBlue wrote:

Uhm. I see no reason to dehydrate pasta. If I take one of these pasta dinners on a hike, I'll cook the pasta in a small amount of water then add the saue that comes with it.WiseOldOwl wrote:

And you may not really want to know.TrafficJam wrote:
I have never removed microwave-ready food from the package and boiled it. Would cooking times be the same as the traditional item? I mean, would you boil the microwave pasta the same amount of time as dry pasta? I don't even know what they do to food to make it microwave ready.

Since it is a one minute meal... likely the pasta is alrady partially cooked. And the microwave is just completing the cooking or heating it up.TrafficJam wrote:

The bacon says to refrigerate after opening, but it seems to be fine on the trail for the few days it lasts! I think it is just the usual warnings, bacon is well preserved, just like they tell you to keep cheese in the refrigerator. Before we had refrigeration, both were ways of preserving food. Unwashed eggs will keep for a month without refrigeration. Don't be scared.

I did check the label on the 'Pre-Cooked Bacon' package after I bought it. Says to refrigerate after opening.
I've heard about 'shelf stable foods' not being healthy.
I'll look at bacon bits and see what the label says. I'll take my reading glasses this time.
I might try the experiment with the microwave Barilla on a campfire instead of microwaving it. edit: Well, I'll cook the pasta in a cookpot and add the sauce and see how it tastes.

Looks like lots of work... I can cook, but I hate having to do it while out camping. Which is why I prefer to use MH meals. Or those dehydrated vegetables I bought a few months ago as suggested in here.

I like a packet of dehydrated mince and another packet of dehydrated vegetables (our equivalent of Mountain House makes both). I add a bit from each to a packet of ramen and add a good dose of soy sauce.
Gets me to my next steak.
