How do you eat a Firepot meal?

You can rehydrate your meal in one of two ways:

1. To eat directly from the pouch, simply boil the required amount of hot water, pour it in, seal the pouch using the ziplock at the top, stir and wait.

2. To cook your meal in a pan, tip the food into the pan, add cold water, bring to the boil, turn off the heat and wait.
