Most food packed like EPA here in Europe is recommended to be put in warm (not boiling) water for 10 minutes, and even that makes them just slightly warm. My advice would be boiling for a few min and then removing it from the open flame and let it sit in that water for 10min minimum. And when you get it out shake it a bit to mix colder parts with warmer.

I found this video from gschultz9:

The older EPAs have similar dishes as the turkey dinner in the video, so heating up the food should not be a problem. Even though these MealSpec heaters seems like much stronger then the standard MRE FRHs.
