Re: [Philmont]: Mini Loaf Pans

We don't actually "cook" in the turkey bag, rather, we simply put the hot water into the turkey bag, roll up the top and let it rehydrate on its own. The method of the double boiler approach accomplishes little that I can think of given my limited imagination. So basically, we boil water in 1 pot, pour it into the turkey bag which already has the dehydrated food, stir, close the top, wait a while, and eat.

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?
