Re: [Philmont]: Mini Loaf Pans

Help me out here,
We are just heating the water to speed up the hydration of the food and to get it warm to hot in the Turkey bag to eat. We "cook" everything in the Turkey bag at once. You are mixing the dry ingredients in the bag with the water. Then putting the Turkey bag in the pot with 2 inches of water in the bottom of the pot to turn the pot into a double boiler. Then starting the stove to bring it to a boil for about 7ish to 10ish minutes or so. Turn OFF the stove, put the cook pot on the ground for about 7ish minutes, eat. I was the new guy on the block in 02. Just was wondering why all the fuss on the "cooking" thing. I use a bandana for a wash basin. A ounce in the morning is a pound on your feet at night. Once you have been there you will know what that means. That is why you see other things in the swap boxes other than food.

  Subject: [Philmont]: Mini Loaf Pans

  During all the meal preparation discussions, someone mentioned the use of mini loaf pans to sit the turnkey bag in. I have two questions- what are the dimensions and secondly, if you are bringing a stove, why not place the stove in the bottom of a cut off plastic milk jug, which nests in the pot you boil the water in? You'll have a dual purpose item - one to use as a wash basin, and the other for holding the turkey bag?
