    Default Canteen cup cooking

    Lately i have been trying to master the art of canteen cup cooking. Some of the things i have made are ramen (NO WAY! LOL!) with tuna, rice flavored with beef bullion and i added slices of dried salami i roasted over the fire and last but not least powdered eggs. I have also made something sort of like a cornbread pancake on the bottom of my canteen cup. I turned it upside down while it was over the canteen cup stove and i used the bottom as a small skillet. Any one else into canteen cup cooking and if so what do you like to make?

    You got to try ramen with smoked oyster. Oh yeah!

    Canteen Shop

    Anyways, this guy does a lot of canteen cup cooking. If you want to do more boiling water and reconstituting, I have another recommendation.

    I started doing that about 40 years ago. Today, I kinda' prefer a small titanium pot.

    I don't use a "canteen" cup, but a stainless cup with lid. (24 oz.)
    In this I cook many things, but my favorite is Lipton cup-a-soup.
    Add a some extra noodles like (ring macaroni). Or rice. Maybe some dried veggies.

    This method, like I said earlier is basically boiling water and then pouring the water into a bag that has dehydrated food. It doesn't matter how you boil the water, so a canteen cup can be used to boil the water. You also don't have to clean up afterwards. Here is a link.

    Not sure where in SE Georgia you are, but probably not too far from me - Dicks Sporting Goods, Sports Authority, Army/Navy Surplus - just a few options that might be near you.

    That's just one link I pulled up. You may want to shop around, check out prices and shipping costs before you make a decision.

    Matt - What kind of stove are you using? The reason I ask is because the size of the stove needs to somewhat match up with the size of the pot. For example, you probably don't want a 2 quart pot on an alcohol beer can stove.

    I have a little canteen cup stove as of now..its the type with no bottom so its realy just a stand that you sit the cup on. You are supposed to use trioxane fuel bars. But usualy i use a fire and coals.

    Yeah I know where he is. He would probably have to go to Macon (in Georgia) to find anything decent. Although there used to be a Surplus store in Valdosta. Don't know if it still there anymore or not. It was in the "Old City" part of town.

    That place went under a few years ago..Southern Salvage was the name i think. Its a shame..they had some good stuff..theres a surplus store in tifton but its not much to speak of.
