Barocook Rectangular Flameless Cookware System

These work very well but pay attention to the size. This 11oz is big enough for a child portion. It won't hold a single serving can of Spaghetti Os though. Maybe 3/5s. I've ordered the 28oz size now that I know.

I was skeptical, but it works great! I tried it the first time with my chicken noodle casserole- it took some time to heat and I had to stir it but it heated up quite nicely- to the point of burning my tongue! it takes several minutes to get really nice and hot with the heater packs so plan for about 20-30 minutes to really get it warm. I am hoping to use this out hiking and I would like to be able to add water, put it back in the pack and keep going for 30 minutes however I am not sure it will stay water tight. the food stays secure but the water in the outer container I think can more easily leak. To be fair I have not tried that yet....

I purchased this for my husband who has significant diet restrictions and gets deployed for up to three weeks at a time for emergency management, where it is even more difficult to control what kind of food you receive. My plan was to make extra meals each time I cook, vacuum pack and freeze, in the hopes that this cooker could get hot enough for long enough to warm from frozen. These are densely frozen bricks of food, so I was worried. But on my second try, it worked wonderfully! For those who have these aspirations, the only way to make it work is to have your frozen, sealed food in the metal pan and submerged in water (test run was done with room temp water), and in 25 minutes it was definitely warm enough to eat. The pack is still warm and it’s been another 20 minutes. I am impressed. (First try was with a frozen solid portion of the same size/wt/density simply in the pan. I hadn’t thought about adding water to help the process yet. Don’t waste your time on that!! It didn’t even fully defrost it.) The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because (even though I know the capacity was listed) it just could be a bit larger. But an 8” width Food Saver bag fits perfectly into this cooker. Good luck!

Good cook ( heat up ) system for hiking/ kayaking trips. Small and lightweight it stows easy. Works good with mountain house and foods of the like. Your not going to cook raw meats with this but it does get hot enough to boil water. It has a removable neoprene sleeve around it for safety

Got around to doing a first test at home. Easy to set up, added the water, secured the lid over the food. Fifteen minutes later, a nicely heated slice of MRE Pizza!Will try some wetpack food next time.One heater pacjet heated up well, making a lot of steam. Vented well. I am very satisfied, and consider this meal heater a good addition to my storm preps. Next power outtage, I can have hot food without risking open flame.

I was excited about getting my flameless Baro cooking system. After trying it today I am very displeased. I now know it is not worth it! I put it to the test with already cooked chicken soup, it was't even warm enough after the 20 mins. All it had to do was heat my soup.NOt even good for heating your food or to make a hot meal happen, All it can do is just warm food a little. Can NOT cook food for sure or bring anything to a boil, the simmering only lasts about 20 minutes per pack. you would prefer a camp stove that can actually heat or cook food. It was reasonable price $39.00 bucks and it is smaller than what it appears in picture so is easy to carry. (It is not so cheap when considering the price of the heating packs. I bought 20 for 40.00 bucks.) Not pleased with the BAROCOOK and what it does!

I purchased this for my husband to use for hot lunches. He operates heavy equipment and doesn't always have access to a way to heat food for lunch. He used this and it did a great job for him! After making sure it worked as described I purchased extra heating packs!

I love this thing. If you follow the instructions, it gets hot fast and stays hot long enough to give you a piping hot meal.
