Use a 18 oz cup and 1 qt bag and a spoon. Lick the spoon clean and sanitize in boiling water before next use. Put bag in cup, hydrate, eat, roll bag up and GO! No clean up :-)

>An alternative Cooking Method
>
>This is bound to stir up some controversy among purists - but here's what
>804-H did in 2003:
>
>Boil water for cooking and cleaning. Rehydration directly in the serving
>bowls. Everything that was opened was eaten. Cleanup was just the bowls,
>spoons and cups.
>
>There were no packaged meals that did not correctly rehydrate and taste as
>well as freeze-dried can taste. In fact - everyone actually liked the food.
>An additional benefit was that each person (actually two-people) could
>tailor individual meals to their liking.
>
>It worked out very well for us. I've adopted this for my own backpacking
>trips. It may not work for you, or not fit your idea of the proper method of
>patrol cooking. Don't flame me - have your group work out whatever fits
>their own needs.
>
>The boys worked this out and tested and refined the method over a number of
>shakeout trips, using food purchased from the Philmont Commissary. The boys,
>all 15 to 17 years stated goals of reducing trash and waste and making
>chores and cleanup as easy as possible. One was vegetarian which complicated
>group cooking chores.
>
>-And yes, our Ranger agreed "whatever works best for your group."
