At Firepot, we prioritize quality and taste by preparing each meal by hand, cooking in stages just as you would at home. Our proprietary drying technology, developed over three years, ensures the meals retain their home-cooked flavor and texture. Unlike standard commercial dehydrators, our in-house designed driers safely and effectively dehydrate entire pre-cooked meals. This meticulous process preserves the nutritional value of the ingredients, ensuring a balanced, nutritious meal with every bite.

Our decision to use dehydration over freeze-drying is rooted in our commitment to taste and texture. While freeze-drying involves freezing food and then drying it in a vacuum, dehydration uses warm air to remove moisture, resulting in a slower and gentler process. This method maintains the integrity of the ingredients, delivering a meal that tastes just as it should, with no compromise in flavor or texture. Additionally, we cook all our meals from fresh ingredients, avoiding the pitfalls of mixing freeze-dried components that fail to blend properly.

Each Firepot meal is crafted using as many local and fresh ingredients as possible, ensuring no chemicals or preservatives are included. This attention to ingredient quality allows us to offer nutritious, wholesome meals. Our standard pouches contain 105-135g of dry food, rehydrating to over 500g, perfect for a satisfying meal.

How does it work?

Rehydrating your Firepot Dehydrated Meal is a straightforward process tailored to suit various conditions and preferences.

For a quick and convenient meal, you can simply add boiling water directly to the pouch, seal it, stir, and wait for it to rehydrate. This method is perfect for on-the-go adventurers who need a hassle-free dining option.

If you prefer using a pan, especially in colder conditions or when using compostable pouches, you can add cold water to the food in a pan, bring it to a boil, then turn off the heat and wait for it to rehydrate. This method ensures even rehydration and prevents the pouches from freezing in extreme cold.

The dehydration process used by FIREPOT is designed to preserve the flavor, texture, and nutritional value of the ingredients. By passing warm air over the food in a controlled environment, moisture is effectively removed, reducing the weight by over 70%. This gentle drying process, developed in-house, captures the essence of home-cooked meals, ensuring that each rehydrated dish delivers the same taste and satisfaction as a freshly prepared meal.

The attention to ingredient quality and the careful cooking and drying process make Firepot Dehydrated Meals a reliable and delicious choice for your outdoor culinary needs.
