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.

    This was actually something I would eat for breakfast at home. Solid flavors. I would suggest making sure you really get in the corners of the bag when mixing...my only criticism and it was my fault. :)

    Great flavor but 9oz is too much. Ruined 2 meals...next time I'm gonna use 60z Staff reply Hi Richard, I'm so sorry that adding 9 ounces of water was not the consistency you were hoping for. Since reading your review we have done many in-house tests and we do feel comfortable with the flavor and consistency that 9 ounces delivers. For your future Polenta dishes, and for other customers, if you are seeking a thicker polenta I recommend starting with 7 ounces of *boiling* (very impt!) water and adding more if needed. The beautiful thing about Polenta is that you can always add more to make it thinner without compromising the dish!

    Had this for breakfast. What a great way to start the day! 9 ounces of water made it a bit to soupy but it was still a good breakfast on a chill morning. Consider it a lesson learned

    An excellent blend of textures and flavors make this a Most Enjoyable backpacking meal. I ate the first one at home so I would know what I might want to bring to "fortify" or flavor it up. Nothing was needed. This is an excellent breakfast, or can be split with a friend to make an excellent breakfast side if you want to share for variety.

    I ordered this awhile back and the name sounded like a dinner. While eating it, I thought to myself, "This is just sausage & grits that I'd eat for breakfast". It was really good, I made it a bit thin unintentionally. I didn't taste cheese or spices, just sausage & grits. That said, it was very good and I'll definitely order again. Perfect quantity, sausage was plump & soft and it warmed my belly. Might add more cheese next time. I didn't find it salty at all (as another reviewer mentioned).

    I decided to eat this for breakfast. Because of its ease of preparation I used a simple alcohol stove and and a small titanium pot. This dish fits in really well with my style of easy backpacking cooking. Heat some water, pour over the concoction, let sit and eat. Preparation: Could not be easier. I used the Cook-In-Bag method. I simply boiled some water, added the Polenta mix to the larger outer bag, poured in the hot water, sealed it shut, slipped the bag inside an insulated coozy and waited 10 minutes. I then just ate the polenta right out of the bag with a long handled spoon. The best part was no dirty dishes to deal with. Taste: Very good and filling. The sausage bits, Parmesan cheesy and garlic really made this a flavorful meal. Originally posted on BackpackGearTest http://www.backpackgeartest.org

    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.

      This was actually something I would eat for breakfast at home. Solid flavors. I would suggest making sure you really get in the corners of the bag when mixing...my only criticism and it was my fault. :)

      Great flavor but 9oz is too much. Ruined 2 meals...next time I'm gonna use 60z Staff reply Hi Richard, I'm so sorry that adding 9 ounces of water was not the consistency you were hoping for. Since reading your review we have done many in-house tests and we do feel comfortable with the flavor and consistency that 9 ounces delivers. For your future Polenta dishes, and for other customers, if you are seeking a thicker polenta I recommend starting with 7 ounces of *boiling* (very impt!) water and adding more if needed. The beautiful thing about Polenta is that you can always add more to make it thinner without compromising the dish!

      Had this for breakfast. What a great way to start the day! 9 ounces of water made it a bit to soupy but it was still a good breakfast on a chill morning. Consider it a lesson learned

      An excellent blend of textures and flavors make this a Most Enjoyable backpacking meal. I ate the first one at home so I would know what I might want to bring to "fortify" or flavor it up. Nothing was needed. This is an excellent breakfast, or can be split with a friend to make an excellent breakfast side if you want to share for variety.

      I ordered this awhile back and the name sounded like a dinner. While eating it, I thought to myself, "This is just sausage & grits that I'd eat for breakfast". It was really good, I made it a bit thin unintentionally. I didn't taste cheese or spices, just sausage & grits. That said, it was very good and I'll definitely order again. Perfect quantity, sausage was plump & soft and it warmed my belly. Might add more cheese next time. I didn't find it salty at all (as another reviewer mentioned).

      I tried this for dinner and added smoked sausage..Perffect! Never knew exactly what this was and tried something new. I would consider this more as a breakfast meal that a side or dinner. But overall...Nice

      I decided to eat this for breakfast. Because of its ease of preparation I used a simple alcohol stove and and a small titanium pot. This dish fits in really well with my style of easy backpacking cooking. Heat some water, pour over the concoction, let sit and eat. Preparation: Could not be easier. I used the Cook-In-Bag method. I simply boiled some water, added the Polenta mix to the larger outer bag, poured in the hot water, sealed it shut, slipped the bag inside an insulated coozy and waited 10 minutes. I then just ate the polenta right out of the bag with a long handled spoon. The best part was no dirty dishes to deal with. Taste: Very good and filling. The sausage bits, Parmesan cheesy and garlic really made this a flavorful meal. Originally posted on BackpackGearTest http://www.backpackgeartest.org
