The packaging is very nice. Very inviting. The ease of use for the self-heating pad and the time to cook was exactly as described. I live at sea level so the heater might require more time in mountain regions. The quality of the food and taste was very good. With some MRE's you get a weird taste in your mouth after the first few bites. Have another camping trip planned in two months and will be ordering more!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Add some hot sauce
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2023

Flavor is a bit mild and sweet for me. Hot sauce makes it just fine. I keep a couple in the car. Had a power outage and found these handy. It gets plenty hot if you leave it in for longer than suggested. I also tilted the bag back and forth after 10 min and it got really hot again. I stuck some hot dogs in the bag with appropriate heat resistant. Cooked the chili and dogs both no problem. Even though the flavor needed a boost, it was a really good hearty meal in an emergency. You absolutely must have a couple.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good heater, so-so entree...
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2023
Verified Purchase
Heater performed well (more like the highly energetic flameless ration heaters in many European rations than the typically underperforming heaters in US civilian or mil surplus MRE's...) The entree on the other hand had the typical "off" taste of the shelf-stable entree's in white oval trays from Hormel and certain weight-loss programs...

5.0 out of 5 stars Fits a niche perfectly
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2023

I've been involved with emergency preparedness for decades + Army vet. I've tried every product under the sun, civilian and military. This fits a niche that is a complete meal unto itself. Good balance of protein, carbs & sodium that you need in a high stress situation. No refrig needed. If its stored in cool location you are likely to get more then 5 yr life. The real beauty is it is complete including the water mixture that activates the heater. Even with Army MRE's you need an outside water source. In addition, if you are careful, you could add in the cooking sack anything else you might want to heat if it is completely protected from exposure to the water mix. It gets really hot! And don't open it under your face; the steam will get you.
A really nice touch is spoon, salt/pepper & napkin in included. In real emergencies, save napkin for fire-starter or bleeding (you really don't need to wipe your mouth..haha). Keep spoon in pocket for food that doesn't include utensils and conserve salt/pepper not used. Its only 220 calories, so this is more a pick-u-up snack then a serious meal. I would like to see the manufacturer make a 500 calorie packet and a 1000 cal packet (for 2). enjoy!
