Review: 5 stars all around - I'm officially hooked on not only the convenience, but also the flavor. These aren't overly expensive considering the shelf life, portability, convenience, and yummmm factor. #1 Be sure to follow the instructions for the amount of water to use and remove the dessicant pack that comes sealed inside. The various flavored meals all have different quantity of water required. Too much or too little will result in either soggy or not completely hydrated. #2 After I add hot water out of our instant hot tap which is plenty hot enough, I zip the bag, hold it along the zipped edge, then gently swish it back and forth left to right so the dry goods comes in contact with the hot water. #3 I cover the entire bag including the bottom, sitting upright, with several towels to hold the heat inside while it's hydrating. #4 When you open it to stir and check the hydration, it's not unusual for the meal to be fully hydrated by the time you unzip it to stir but be sure you follow the hydration time and don't rush it. The cooler the water, the longer it will take which is why I cover mine while it's hydrating, to keep it warm and prevent it from cooling too quickly. Paid Thai is one of our faves. It's only a tad spicy and it's got great flavor. We've also tried 5 other flavors and they're all good. The one that seems to have the least flavor is the Adobe flavored which doesn't seem salty enough and lacks robustness, but heck, if you're starving after a day of being out and about, it's a perfectly good meal even without all the salt some of the others contain. I'm sensitive to salt and a lot of foods taste too salty to me but not these. If you want more salt, you can always add it but I love that they don't already come too salty. I haven't had to add anything to any of these bags except the one I just mentioned. You have nothing to lose - try one and if you like it, go place another larger order like I did. I have a shelf full of Pad Thai and a couple other flavors we really like. They're great time-savers since I work from home and tend to not want to leave for food. Price seems comparable to a carry out meal at a Thai restaurant. As for how filling they are, there's enough in the package that by the time I'm done eating, I don't feel like I still need to snack. I'm just a tad beyond feeling full, like I should have stopped eating 5 or 10 bites before I reach the end, but I have no issue polishing off the whole bag in one sitting. I'm going to be a long-time customer of this company and I'm really glad to have found them on social media. Never heard of them before I saw an ad for dehydrated meals. It was Brand X compared to this brand and one of the commenters said they tried both Brand X and this brand and said these were much better so that's why I bought them here.
Review: Great Tasting Freeze Dried Meal Easy Prep - We bought these freeze dried meals for some storage for emergencies. This is the second one we have tasted and used for dinner. The meal was tasty and easy to prepare. It’s an easy as open pouch, take out and throw away oxygen absorber, pour in 1 1/2 cups of boiling water, stir carefully and reseal pouch. Let stand for 4 mins and eat. Good for 25 years. All nutrition stats are on the back of the pouch. We shared the dinner between two of us and I cooked some extra rice as my husband is a big eater. I made some bread and sides. This is supposed to be 2 serving sizes and the dry mix makes one cup per serving. This is survival and camping food so for a bigger eater we have made sure we have some extra. The rice contains chicken, eggs, green peas, onions and carrots. Mountain House has several different recipes and this one is gluten free. For freeze dried food I believe it’s a good value with a good taste. I would just say if used for emergencies and you have a big eater I would store more meals and make sure you have different foods with different textures. I will happily purchase more of these.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another delicious Mountain House meal
*by N***S on September 6, 2025*

Packaging for this Mountain House meal is just the same as all their other meals extremely rugged and well made. There is absolutely no spice heatwise to this meal but it definitely is extremely tasty. It has a great level of all around nutrients and is very easy and fast to make in under 10 minutes. The noodles were firm yet thoroughly cooked. The sauce was creamy and flavorful in the chicken tasted like it was just prepared prior to dropping into the fettuccine alfredo sauce. There were plenty of pieces of chicken of substantial size in this meal as well. All in all the wife and I both enjoyed it thoroughly and it was a great meal had under the trees in the grass sitting at a picnic table enjoying the outdoors.
