How to Prepare a Mountain House Pouches?

1. Get some water boiling.

2. Read the directions. It’s important to read the directions on each pouch, as the directions may be different for each pouch. Some will require more water than others and some may require longer cooking time.

3. Open Pouch. 

4. Remove the oxygen absorber.**

5. Fill the pouch with indicated amount of boiling water.

6. Stir.  This step we found rather important, as we have found that the contents of the pouch are dense. Sometimes water cannot penetrate the entire pouch, especially around the bottom corners. Stirring helps integrate all of the product so that everything is mixed thoroughly and rehydrated correctly.

7. Close and time. Each pouch will have there own cooking time indicated.

8. Open, stir and serve!
