Stoveless
Hiking practice
Definition
Stoveless meals are those that do not require cooking (no stove). In most cases you just need to add water and wait until the meal is rehydrated. Usually a waterproof container either brought commercially, or in the spirit of the stove less movement, an empty peanut butter jar works well to ‘cook’ your meal in.
A ‘stoveless’ meal rehydrated in a 500gram peanut butter jar. Just add water and wait for about 90 minutes; no cooking required on the trail. I will add the water at breakfast time just before I head off for the morning and the meal is ready in time for lunch.
