The disadvantage for this meal is the extended cooking time, and the need to simmer. The MSR Simmerlite stove is hard to get to simmer, so it's easily to burn the bum of meals like this that need simmering / stirring all the time.
Also I think I need a bigger pot, a 1 litre pot wasn't really big enough - very full by the time the rice went in.
The taste was great - a really nice meal. Though I don't mind most of the normal BackCountry ones either so perhaps I'm not a good judge.
One other advantage for this meal is its size, it was a generous serve and we were well fed after it.
Yes, I bought some more, and next time I am going to experiment with different cooking techniques, such as bring to boil, stick lid on and let it sit for 10 mins, then light the stove again and bring back to the boil, see whether that works - wouldn't take much longer, would save fuel, would save the work stirring it while it cooks.
Anyone else got any tips on preparing these meals?
