Is this cook in the bag type of meal or do you need to use pots and pans?

as well as like others have said a fire so what's needed but I have used it in an MRE can over a fire and works just as well

You need pots and a steady fire source. I've only used a stove. At some point I'd like to try a wood fire to see how it would word in "the wilderness".

It would be best to go to their website. However, like most of the people that have posted here I would season with salt and pepper, some herbs, maybe a little butter or oil, seal up the bag and bake for no longer than 15 minutes.

No, it needs to be cooked since it is mainly dried veggies. The directions call for water, but I use low sodium chicken broth. I also usually add some chopped tomato, It is so easy and is delicious.

Not sure what you mean. You take something out of the freezer and then take it out of the bag and into a pot to cook.

It seems as though your numbers are lower than what I see. James comment about your altitude is important, but so is what you are trying to bag. If you are trying to bag some food that is hot (or even warm), it can reach "boiling" before you get to the level of vacuum you desire. Ideally any food being bagged should be cold to prevent this from happening.

Yes you can cook in the 2 separate small pans and then put a little water in the large one and put them in it or you can cook in other dishes and just put it in them once it;s cooked. I use these for an outside wedding and they are great! If your gentle with them you can reuse them!

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

To me it seems like an insulated fabric on the inside. I have spilled beans in it when traveling and simply hand washed the bag and laid it out to dry. I did have the towel in the bottom, but it sloshed out the lid of the pot. It washed up great. I love the bag and use it often. I plan on giving it to my sisters for Christmas.

The wonderbag doesn't get dirty. You put the pot and it's lid (containing the food you want slow- cooked, that's been heated to boiling on the stove), into the bag. The bag is so insulating, it keeps the temp within the pot hot enough to complete the cooking. It works just as well as a slow cooker, without the ongoing electricity. We recently bought ours and the food turns out great. Only downside is that the wonderbag takes up space when storing. Recommended!

Cloth fabric and foam. Understand when you bring pot to boil with all your ingredients inside .. it is the pot your cooking with should be your concern not the insulted material enveloping the pot to stay the heat. Confused by your logic that the material touching the pot would intoxicate. Your pot should be sealed or in a container. So if you use non-PBA plastic as your container then you have that plastic element against the food. The Wonder bag is a wrapping that holds in the heat of the pot you've cooked in.

Depends on your heat source? The pot and pan are fairly thin nothing compared to home cookwear. I use this set with my msr micro rocket and can scorch foods easily if I'm not careful. So I use the lowest setting and stir food while rotating the pan to disperse the heat evenly. All in all, this pan set is perfect for backpacking

The cooker works best if it is filled at least half full. Smaller dishes that basically cover the bottom cook way too fast because the whole liner gets hot. I cook for two people all the time but when I use the slow cooker I make large batches of soups, green chile pork, spaghetti sauce, etc. I freeze the leftovers in freezer containers in portions for two servings. Then when you have a night you are rushed and don't have time to cook you can make use of that frozen "dinner."

There are no containers included. The model I got is small enough so I cook directly in the pot itself. Hope this helps.

I put lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, etc in the bottom part. In the top container, I put cheese, a hard boiled egg, croutons, bacon bits, and ranch dressing. I leave around 6am and eat around 11:30am and I've never had a problem. This has worked fine for me. :-)

Hi, Alex...the product comes with a little empty bag that they suggest putting uncooked rice in and then heating it in the microwave for a few seconds to warm it up. I have not tried to heat the rice another way but I would suspect you could carefully sauté it, dry, in a pan until warm but be careful. to to burn it, and then add the rice to the bag.

I utilize it in about anything I can. If I am feeling like soup I mix if with Bobs Red Mill Bountiful Black Bean Soup Mix...cook it in chicken stock seasoned with bay leaves, salt, white pepper, onion, garlic, but before all that I render some bacon in the pan. I also use this in Rice and in stews.

We seasoned ours inside and outside. Everything that I read suggested doing both. We love our wok! We use it over an open fire while camping too. Amazing veggies and potatoes.
