the water will boil a lot faster if the burner where you put the pot is the same as the burner you turned on.

dried peas, lentils and beans work too. *grin*

unfortunately, M&Ms don't work for maggies, but they work great if you leave them in the freezer.

You can also use rock salt, but it doesn't work nearly so well.

i have none of these things. i have pasta. :-)

but it's okay, because i'm not actually in pain.

....pasta.

you only have pasta?!

[darthfox.livejournal.com]

among dried foods, yes. i also have butter and milk and crumpets and peanut butter and jelly and cereal bars and tea and sugar and hot chocolate and some potato chips and, like, apricots (which technically are also dried).

i'm not very kitchen-oriented. :-)

I have one made from dried cherry pits. My MIL gave it to me. It's FABULOUS.

Have you found those stick-on self-heating thingies yet? I discovered them last month & they are the BOMB.

my sister-in-law introduced me to those (i'd heard of them, i mean, but never bothered to try them because i never needed them since i'd first seen them) that time when i thought i had a backache. the stick-on thingummy didn't work, but that wasn't surprising, since the backache turned out to be a kidney infection. :-)
