Indeed; if warming water was so difficult the Army would starve.

Self sufficient with a 10 man ration pack?

On 'Ration' days we just bought bread from the ANA and warmed our compo up in the boiler.

On one documentary filmed in a FOB there was one lad making 'pasties' from bread dough and filled with ration pack fillings. Cooked in an improvised oven I think. I thought was a great idea personally. Also as those who can't share that meal sat down with everyone else can be taken their portions easily.

I once made an oven out of a Bedford pannier...

admittedly on exercise, although I made a 'not as good' oven out of a ammo tin.

The 'Bedford oven' was made in a Polish tank emplacement. The pannier opened out of the ditch (roughly where the gun would point) and inside was the fire (facing the oppisite way). It had to be this way as the inside was deeper than the outside.

Cooked frozen chicken pies from the chefs quite well, and the odd bit of meat and what not bought from the skleps. We used a shovel GS to insert ad remove food.

I liked being back in my det at the fob, we had a microwave, kettle and the air con kept the coke cool.
