Thread: Vac-Pac all the things...

I have been doing a bit of trial and error vac-packing leftover meals etc and freezing them for later use whilst in the hills. This is an awesome way to habe decent food while youre away backpack hunting. So far I have learned that you will need to use decent bags to handle the heat of reheating without deteriorating. I have vac packed everything from mince and chilli for nachos/wraps, to left over roast veges complete with slices of roast beef and gravy etc. Today Im sitting at home crook and decided to see how a cheese toasty would go. I toasted the bread first to prevent it just turning to dough again when vacpacked, bit of cheese and some ham and good to go. Reheated it in my primus "jetboil" and it came out good as, cheese melted all the way through and it wasnt just a flat mess due to toasting the bread first. You can make a cuppa with the water after too Give it a go. As "Nats what I reckon" would say (look him up if you dont know who he is .. brilliant!)

"F**K Packet Food!
