Has anybody had a problem with meals not rehydrating?
This weekend was down in the San Luis Valley and had cooked a Mountain House meal, it stated the typical time on the package and I gave it an extra 2 minutes and opened it up and started eating.
I found that the rice and beans were not rehydrated, giving a nasty chalky taste. Made sure it still had plenty of hot water and closed it up for another five minutes. Still the same thing.
After Jake made a few comments I found myself spewing chunks, unable to continue eating the nasty meal.
Jake said his did the same thing, but he ate it anyway. (yuck)
I had actually used a couple ounces more water than the 16 oz it called for, and everything in the meal was covered with the boiling water, made sure to really let it boil before putting it in, and stirred everything up before closing it to let it sit and cook.
We were only at 8100 feet elevation, so don't think that was a problem.
