Corr. you can use a heater or put the package whole in boiling water for 5 mins then open.By the way since you are in Rhode island. Ocen state Job lot allways has the entres there. Usually they are 2 for a buck in Woonsockett.
The heaters are sweet. about 3 oz of water and just seal in the meal for 10 mins. and it is piping hot! As for the entres usually it is the rice and beans, spaghetti, Pork chop or beef stew. It is not the entire meal just a simple pack. However they are mil issue, and up to date on the experation.Jeez you work only about 5 mins then from my house. And the fav. Rest. Wrights Chicken farm. I got to go at least once a month.
None of the civilian MREs have Tobasco sauce in them But from what I've read, the civvie ones have less salt, and are legal to buy! Another thing I read was that the mil issue ones are illegal for sale to civilians, but the civilian versions are made by the same companies.
Right now I've been doing the Maruchan Instant Lunch noodles in such cases, but MREs are a full meal!
I doubt I'd enjoy any kind of pasta MRE since I take my pasta very seriously as odd as that sounds

It's either the Job Lot in Pawtucket or Providence...it's right on the line. I've been to Wrights a few times when I was a kid but don't know where it is...what city is it in? I want to say Warwick...I found this site...tons of info on MREswww.mreinfo.comNone of the civilian MREs have Tobasco sauce in them But from what I've read, the civvie ones have less salt, and are legal to buy!

One thing I've noticed eating MRE's and I think they use sulpher or something as a preservative. They tend to give you a lot of gas or me anyway.
