Yes, you see it correctly… Self heating hot pot! I found this very intriguing so I thought I would buy it and try it out!

Inside the box you have your ingredients, the self heating pack and cutlery. The cutlery is rather cute!
I put all the ingredients in the white pot
Filled it with cold water up to the fill line. You also fill the black box with cold water
Sound up! You can hear the bubbling and steam coming out of the hole! Once you put the heating pack into the cold water, you need to put the white pot and the lid on rather quickly!
After 15 minutes, the steam and bubbling will stop and the food is ready. Be careful opening the lid and then give the contents a mix before eating.

I was quite surprised on how this worked so well! I’m still not sure how the heating pack works but it definitely heated everything up!

The vegetables were lovely; the seaweed and woodear mushrooms were cooked perfectly and the lotus roots and bamboo shoots still had a good crunch to them. I think there were potato slices in there too and that was cooked just right.

There wasn’t alot of beef in there but to be honest the beef was nice a tender and melt in your mouth.

The tomato soup base was quite nice, very tomatoey but it was a little salty. I had to drink alot of water after finishing.

I reckon this is a quite a gimmicky type of food and I think I would only try it once. At least I have tried it now haha

Let me know if you know how the self heating pack works! It’s all about the science I guess lol
