A very easy meal indeed – one pot style and doesn’t need a lot of water... Nice mild spicy hint underneath and very creamy.

frequently asked questions

What is Gluten Conscious?
 
Gluten Conscious is a term we use to describe a product that is prepared with gluten free ingredients; however, it is not prepared in a gluten-free environment. While we are careful to avoid cross-contamination, it is possible that trace amounts of gluten may be present due to the use of gluten in our facility.
Why is a Cook–in–Cozy™ recommended?
 

We recommend that all of our hot meals spend time "steep-cooking™" while snuggled in a Cook-in-Cozy™. We find this method promotes a more consistent temperature and steady cook time for Cook-in-Bag™ preparation; and results in a better serving temperature for your meal. When not in use, our Cook-in-Cozy™ folds away nicely in your pack for storage and weighs in at only 1.4oz.

    We loved it! Simple to make and tastes great. Even if you're not crazy about how it tastes out of the gate, great starter and add your our seasonings. Wife and I liked it as is. Great for a quick meal in the morning before you head out. Worked great while RVing and I can see ourselves using it while tent camping.

    The polenta wasn't thick and creamy, even though I followed the instructions for putting in 1 cup of water. I also steeped it for a full 15 minutes (over the recommended 10 minutes). Otherwise, it tasted good and was well-spiced.

    Tasty. Like others have noted, I think it would benefit from a little less water; otherwise, it becomes a soup. Of course I don't carry a graduated beaker with me! It would benefit from a little extra flavor (salt & pepper), but it's fine the way it is.

    There is nothing wrong with this meal - I just found it very, very bland. It was filling - just not enjoyable or flavorful. This is the only PackItGourmet meal I have had that I wouldn't order again - so disappointing considering that everything else I have had it outstanding.

    This meal has a really good flavor and it’s just something a little different — I mean, who eats something like this on trail?

    A very easy meal indeed – one pot style and doesn’t need a lot of water... Nice mild spicy hint underneath and very creamy.

    frequently asked questions

    What is Gluten Conscious?
     
    Gluten Conscious is a term we use to describe a product that is prepared with gluten free ingredients; however, it is not prepared in a gluten-free environment. While we are careful to avoid cross-contamination, it is possible that trace amounts of gluten may be present due to the use of gluten in our facility.
    Why is a Cook–in–Cozy™ recommended?
     

    We recommend that all of our hot meals spend time "steep-cooking™" while snuggled in a Cook-in-Cozy™. We find this method promotes a more consistent temperature and steady cook time for Cook-in-Bag™ preparation; and results in a better serving temperature for your meal. When not in use, our Cook-in-Cozy™ folds away nicely in your pack for storage and weighs in at only 1.4oz.

      We loved it! Simple to make and tastes great. Even if you're not crazy about how it tastes out of the gate, great starter and add your our seasonings. Wife and I liked it as is. Great for a quick meal in the morning before you head out. Worked great while RVing and I can see ourselves using it while tent camping.

      The polenta wasn't thick and creamy, even though I followed the instructions for putting in 1 cup of water. I also steeped it for a full 15 minutes (over the recommended 10 minutes). Otherwise, it tasted good and was well-spiced.

      10/10 would pork again. This is fantastic. I would eat this for lunch and dinner too.

      Tasty. Like others have noted, I think it would benefit from a little less water; otherwise, it becomes a soup. Of course I don't carry a graduated beaker with me! It would benefit from a little extra flavor (salt & pepper), but it's fine the way it is.

      I took this for breakfast on a two day backpacking trip. I added 8oz of boiling water as stated on the package, but the flavor was bland. I might try less water if I get it again.

      There is nothing wrong with this meal - I just found it very, very bland. It was filling - just not enjoyable or flavorful. This is the only PackItGourmet meal I have had that I wouldn't order again - so disappointing considering that everything else I have had it outstanding.
