Due to experience, if you use genuine Bundeswehr ESBIT cubes (they are bigger than civilian ones), after burning down HALF an ESBIT cube, your dish is well done! (Civilian ones take two - as they are smaller).MCIera wrote: Over an Esbit, you would want to stir it while you heat it so that the edges and bottom do not burn. When the contents are heated through, it's ready, there is no real time instruction when you're dealing with the number of variables that you might encounter using an Esbit or any other outdoor stove.
Keep it closed, the steam inside will heat it up faster, when the cover is "swelled" close to "explode" it´s right
To aviod burning the food inside, shake it from time to time."Plan B", take your fork (or any other spiky item) from cuttlery and stab several little holes in the (top-) cover lid, allowing the steam to come out. (Thats the way I do it every time.)
Guten Appetit
