What is a self -played meal?
Self -grinding food becomes the latest rage in fast food preparation. When you are on the road, out camp or storage of a cabinet for disasters, you may want to consider whether there is a heating meal for you.

When the card is pulled, aluminum hits water and causes what is called an exothermic reaction. Within minutes, the water warmed up to about 190 degrees F (87.78 ° C). After about fifteen minutes, food is ready to eat and fully heated. Some meals require you to place food in a special heating package while others are in a separate package that requires to use the card.

The average life of these meals is approximately three to five years and may not be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.

Many of them claim that since the microwave is, self -de -food has been too expensive to make a purchase. There is also a diverse view of how good food tastes. Some say the taste of certav products or retailers is "pretty good" and others promise to never eat further selfryvé food. In addition, it may be a fifteen minutes long time to wait for food, especially if you have access to a microwave. Although they can be sold for people in offices, most people do not have luxury of lunch that will allow them to wait as long as the food is fully hot.
On the other hand, in a disaster situation, or where you do not have access to any source of heat, taste and cost, there may be minimal considerations. The ability to have a warm meal despite difficult conditions could be a significant plus. If you build supplies for disasters for disasters, you may want to add some self -matched meals.
