what is the preparation like? I would like to use them for camping, are they easily mixed with water and can be cooked in a small pot?

This product is perfect for any "on site" cooking. Easy prep! Powder and water, whisk and cook. Any pot will do. I use a non-stick skillet so not sure how they will stick to others. If you would use a regular beaten egg for it you can use this for it. Once whisked they remind me of beaten egg whites. Comparable taste as well.

Yes you can....keep in mind these are the whites only so if you are looking for scrambled eggs....get another product....they work very well for Meringue!

I have only used them to whip up as a meringue in recipes (which they do quite well), but I have never tried making an egg white omelet with them. Yes, they are easily mixed with water.

1pk for 4L of water. Add beef of choice, grilled onion & a little fresh ginger into pot & boil. Skim scum for clear soup, add closed pack & cook over medium heat for 20 mins (to prevent pack from breaking). Remove closed packet

I'd say it's good for boiling small pots of water for dehydrated meals. Good for backpacking because it is light, but I wouldn't use it for a full camping stove, especially if you are cooking for multiple people.

Unfortunately, no. This isn't to say I haven't tried boiling water in them first, then cleaning. I also tried vinegar, in addition to just soap, and finally as a last resort...scrubbed them with a teflon scrubbing pad. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but after the first week or two of marvelous nonstick cooking and ridiculously delicate care, they became just like any other set of traditional steel cookware. Everything will stick unless you use a lot of oil or butter...which defeats the whole idea. On the bright side...the ceramic didn't scratch and still LOOKS nice, and they can go into a hot oven. The only thing I haven't tried is seasoning them like one would season cast iron to make it non stick.

No they can not be microwaved, on the cooking end, it takes about 20 to 25 minutes. And it depends upon your location higher alt will take longer.

Yes! You can boil these. If you are concerned about them melting, you may want to bring your water to a good rolling boil then throw them into to the pot and put a top on it. Turn off the heat and let it sit there for about 10 minutes. Then take them out with a pair of tongs and let air dry on a clean towel. I hope this helps! :)

well... this is one of the very best pans (soup pot, stock making etc) in my kitchen -- I think I'd go with the more rugged (and far less expensive) pre-seasoned cast iron dutch ovens for camp cooking. But yes -- it would probaby work just fine.

This isn't a major heat source. A small container of water can be boiled (say two cups), but it will likely take something like 15 minutes. You could cook something like eggs with no problem, but a large pan of stew might take forever to make from scratch. You might be better off with a campfire if you want to cook a large amount of raw ingredients into a real meal. For heating canned meals, soup or heating water for coffee, especially if you don't want to mess with a large fire, this product works great.

You can soak the mushrooms in warm water for about half an hour before cooking. They will still be very chewy though. Best in soups in my opinion.

You arent suppose to microwave them. I would assume meats would be ok to warm up in a bowl of warm water.

dont boil them, steeping would be your best bet. 2-4 mins depending on your preference of flavor

Raw. Never tried them cooked. Have to feed them in one or two at a time. I'm sure they could be cooked-though harder to handle, and messier.

I have placed them in boiling water before to heat contents. Just don't let the bag rest against the hot pan out of the water and only Boil long enough to to heat the contents

Mine cooked right. I had to learn how to take them out of the pan and how full to fill them. That information is in the instructions too.

Although I have not used them for soup, I do believe if you soak them for a few hours then add them to the soup they should tender up enough. I cannot guarantee that they will serve well in a soup, I use mine to grow wheat grass to grind into juice. Let us know what and how it all turns out!

I usually put a little bit of olive or coconut oil in the pan depending on the temp that it needs to get to and I have yet to burn anything. I also was a little aprehensive when I first used them, but just season the pan and you are good to go. Being that these pots and pans are encapsulated with aluminium they will heat up much faster than my non-stick pans. I just like the fact that one can go from stove to oven with them.
