Yeah, some of my gear is pretty, er, used.longri wrote:Ha! I've got an old backpacking fry pan that looks a lot like that. It freaked me out a little until I did some reading. Teflon and other versions of PTFE non-stick coatings aren't toxic. If you eat a little bit it's not something to worry about. It might even help things slide out a little easier in the morning. :-)
It's actually pretty easy to prepare. I bring olive oil in a little tiny nalgene. I put the Nalgene in a zip lock. Oil tends to get on things even with something "bombproof" like a Nalgene. I grease the pan with the olive oil, add all the ingredients, put the heat on low and cover. I have to check it once or twice, but in five or six minutes (cook time, not including prep time), out it comes.longri wrote:That egg dish does look tasty. It probably doesn't require a lot of fuel to cook either. What kind of instant eggs did you use?
In this case I used real eggs carried in a cardboard egg carton. I just burned the carton after using the eggs. I just carried the eggs one day. We ate everything the first night.
That said "Ova Easy" is supposed to be pretty good.
