Heating two things at once?

Post by wallpep » Fri Jul 10, 2009 5:35 pm

If there are two or more items in the MRE that require heating how do you heat them with one heater or do you just need more heaters?

You can heat both items (entree and side) with one heater. Put one in the other from the outside against and "force" them back into the cardboard box. Allow some extra time for heating
You can also take some extra FRH´s with you and heat everything in a seperate heater.

Also, if your MRE comes with a packet of cheese spread, squeeze that packet into the FRH along with the entree for a few minutes; then let it cool down for a few minutes; and you'll be surprised how good it tastes on wheat snack bread or MRE crackers.

I think he means to put the cheese packet (unopened) in with the entree...
Squeeze it in could be ...messy!

Dirtbag is correct...I meant place the packet of cheese inside the FRH...NOT squeeze the packet in...bad choice of words on my part. Good catch...that would've been messy. :wink:

I was going to say, 'sure you can heat two things up at once, hell I've always got mine and my battle-buddy's scran on the go in my little metal mug on the hexy, we take it in turns to heat both together and then share a brew with the leftover water'

Then I realised youre on about FRHs - d'oh! Our Army doesn't really issue them so I guess its different for you guys!
