[pct-l] Cooking with canned gas

[Bob Bankhead]

Something to consider - do you really NEED boiling water or could your
purpose be served just as well with a lower temperature? Heating to a lower
temperature increases the number of heats you can get from your canister.

Personally, I cannot drink tea or coffee made with boiling water; I need it
cooler. The hot water restaurants give you to brew tea at the table is never
boiling. Freeze-dried meals can be rehydrated in room temperature water - it
just takes longer. The cooking process is essentially a time vs. temperature
relationship. Once I stop for the day, it really makes no difference to me
if it takes 30 minutes for my dinner to "cook" vs. the 8 minutes the package
calls for. I'm not going anywhere until the morning anyway.
