They're really not made to do any cooking in.

Yep. Mountain House type meals, or dehydrate your own. Of course oatmeal, ramen noodles and the like will work, but for the weight and the calories and carbs needed, you really can't go wrong with Pre-packaged meals.

I had the MH eggs and bacon this week camping and they were great. Just put EXACTLY the amount of water called for or you will have soup. I also made hot water for coffee and used the Folger's coffee 'tea' bags. It was great! I bought the chili mac and one other flavor yesterday at REI to try for an upcoming trip with my son.

Pretty much what I use mine for. Boil water for instant coffee, oatmeal and other dehydrated foods. On another note I bought the JetBoil FluxRing 1.5L Pot that I use to heat soups, stews, beans, etc. in..

I use them for MH meals, Ramen noodles, boiling water for hot coco, tea and coffee. Use it for anything that needs boiled water.

Academy has a good selection. Amazon is better. When we go packing, we bring several jetboil stoves. Light, fast, easy. We do buy the propriety fuel if we're going to be at altitude (usually are). The cheap stuff is fine for Texas. BTW, yes, you can cook on them with an accessory attachment. We don't cause it defeats the purpose of a light weight stove, but it's out there.

Try the Starbucks micro coffee stuff. Different flavors (types) to choose from. During the fall, Starbucks has an instant pumpkin latte that is very good. Apple cider is good too. Especially with some 151 in it.

You can also make an omelet/scrambled eggs. Just put the eggs and a bit of water, cooked bacon pieces, and onion in a thick plastic ziplock and you have an awesome breakfast.

These type of cooking apparatus are best suited for Freezer bag cooking (FBC) or similar Mountain House or other freeze dried meals. Just be sure to test and prep before you get out there or you'll be eating soupy meals.

FBC is best way to go, with a dehydrator and any recipes you like you can eat well in the wild.

Edit: One last thought, FBC is the best way to go for after meal clean up as well. No pot washing needed.
