Self-Cooking Meals - No ELECTRICITY Needed

[@UndertheNeedle282]

Emmy is such a calming presence in this stressful world we live in today.

The self heating meals would be perfect for areas that are prone to lose power during winter.

[@Shahrezad1]

I was thinking that, as well. A great item to put in your 72 hour kit, or toss in your car in case if you get stuck in a snow storm, etc.

[@Shahrezad1]

Additionally, the residual heat from the heat pack could be used to stay warm in a pinch.

[@Skirt553]

The self heating meals would be in my bug-out bag.

[@kriscahill7207]

Drink LOTS of water when eating those konjac noodles. A friend of mine needed surgery for an intestinal blockage after eating those. They are very high in fiber.

[@sophiophile]

Yeah, they are basically not absorbed by the gut at all. Might as well be eating paper.

[@x.y.7385]

Yikes ! I tried them maybe 8 years ago...didn't like them. I just threw out the remaining packages a few days ago after cabinet cleaning

[@elizabethmorgan414]

Yeah there's been a big notice come up about them here as being undigestable and not good to eat.

[@Commander_HW]

@@elizabethmorgan414 魔芋(konjac) is a thing ppl on diet usually eat. Your body needs more cals than the food itself to digest it. lol.

[@elizabethmorgan414]

@Commander_HW of this i am aware. This does not change the fact that it's almost undigestable and there's been warnings over its use where I live

[@Jaxon1776]

Emmy is adorable. Love her delivery

[@chelu4u]

Wow 3.06 million subs congrats Emmy 🎉 don't wanna brag but I've been here Lurking mostly in the background since the early days 🎉

Here since Emmy Made in Japan, but the kids were at least preschoolers. 😂

[@haylz27]

Emmy please make more MRE videos! Absolutely love when you make them

[@cantsay]

Emmy: "I'm so glad they included wooden chopsticks " Proceeds to only use plastic spoon 😅❤

[@Malene1992]

Love her. She is so calming ❤

[@michellemarshall4411]

Your videos always makes me smile so glad I found it tonight before bed . I rewatch your videos to

[@lancerevell5979]

I often use a cook pot called "Barocook", a three part pot using a flameless heater pack, that uses water to cause the reaction. It's made in South Korea, and uses quick lime. Basically the food in the upper steel pot is steamed. It works pretty well to warm food, but cannot cook raw meat. 😊 A very similar concept to this system but more robustly made. The ten-pack bag of heater pouches (50 grams and 80 grams variants) aren't cheap, but do work well. 👍

[@Yenneffer]

I like that it is reusable! I always thought there was way too much waste with those kits.

[@emmymade]

Oh, that sounds interesting!!! I'll have to research it - thanks for sharing.🤓

[@SandraLee-n7j]

Thank you Emmy for all the meals you cook and how easy it is, I have learn a lot on your channel! Thank you again for sharing it with all of us!💋❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋

[@annetteh8399]

These packets would be fantastic for hurricane relief. My elderly parents were stuck with no electricity or water for six weeks. There was no way to reach them. I would have been much more relieved if I knew that they had something like these.

[@janetz1001]

I bought a couple before Milton, my area was out power for a little bit after the hurricane. After eating bread and luncheon meat for a few times, I had one of them, the uplifting power of a hot meal is just beyond my imagination

[@skeetsmcgrew3282]

Yeah but at like $8 a piece, I think they would have been better off with a simple propane burner, one of those little ones where the bottle clicks into place. Something I do think about getting sometimes because my heat and stove are electric

[@x.y.7385]

​@@skeetsmcgrew3282yes, like that propane (?) stove Emmy uses. Stock up on canned food like soups and meats like chicken or beef, minute rice, dehydrated vegetables just for flavor because they have minimal calories. Butter(fat) stays well unrefrigerated, meat sticks. Good quality fat is important to stay satiated. In an emergency you want nutrient dense/healthy fat foods so you aren't hungry all of the time

[@carolynpurser7469]

Have not heard of these self cooking meals before. But, years ago I did try a coffee drink that was self heating. It came in a tumbler like container. Don't remember all the steps but one thing you did was to turn it upside down and wait several minutes then it would be ready to drink. It was hot but I didn't care for the flavor which was just personal preference. I haven't seen them since. But I thought it was a great idea, especially for someone on the go.

[@annother3350]

I remember Nescafe did a self heating can. I remember one day the chemical stuff had leeched into the coffee/ Luckily i noticed but they werent on the shelf for long after that

[@ErikaPauley]

These meals are often vegetarian because imported meat needs a USDA certification to be imported into the country even if it’s precooked

[@CraftsbyShavon]

I love love love that u didn’t edit out the lid popping off lol u handled that great

[@shestewa6581]

Emmy is always great about keeping their fumbles and mistakes in. Some of my favourite moments on the channel have been her embracing solething going comically wrong, sometimes repeatedly. The “eggstraor” device “explosion of parts” is my all time favourite moment.

[@normagoto6788]

😂😂😂😂😂 I yelled when that happened!

[@lizcoombe4888]

It’s not her style to edit! She keeps it real!

[@aprilianindy3200]

I love it when Emmy forgets to plug in her appliances 😆

[@italoman9]

That’s interesting. The heating pouch reminds me of those Bioheat single-pack pads that adhere to inside clothing to warm aches and pains on the body, which after several hours’ wear puff up and harden in the same way! 😮

[@lisabierschwal4622]

Yeah that's what I thought of or the hand an foot warmers

[@imwatchingyou439]

That was hilarious when the lid popped off and gave you heart palpitations.😂

[@wynnkidsnannylorivance4111]

Thanks, Emmy. I needed a fun distraction tonight as recovery efforts continue in the Potomac river in DC.

[@onlymebaby.9249]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@makeupbytony]

me too since i knew two people that were on that flight

[@wynnkidsnannylorivance4111]

@makeupbytony I'm so sorry

[@amylynnithepooh5260]

❤❤❤😢😢

[@spikes_johnson]

​@makeupbytony my condolences

[@mallockracer]

Hi Emmy, the price point always make me reluctant, when you can put together a great Budae Jjigae for pennies. I bought a reusable chem heater which I am yet to use.

[@JillLalande]

Oooh, I have that exact brand/flavour in the pantry. We bought it on a whim then we were afraid to try it! Now I can’t decide if I want to try it this week or keep it for an emergency 😊

[@debrabrooks6138]

Very interesting! Is the big grey container reusable? I mean is there heat packets you can to use in it or is it a one time use? The food looks delicious!

[@normagoto6788]

Ok, when that lid popped off I yelled.😂 That surprised me!!!

[@emmymade]

😆Me too!

[@tiffanymoore3182]

Emmy, not sure you have been told but the description for this video is below the description of a previous video. I wondered why the time stamps had titles from the last video until I scrolled down.

[@deidrekirkman5270]

I’m so glad I found you. Both items look delicious. I’m going to try them.

[@sunninicole8607]

Happy Lunar New Year!

[@redtheturtle]

I hope you ate all that!! That looked so tasty. Devour it all!

[@emmymade]

I shared it with my family.🍚

[@smittycat359]

I found the onigiri you tried at my local Daiso, but they use sorbitol so I wasn't able to try them (I get migraines from chemical sweeteners)

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

These are always fun videos

[@emmymade]

Thanks! Glad you like them.:)

[@Capricornica]

The no-heat konyac noodles one looked really good! I wonder if any of my local stores has anything like that. (BTW, Emmy, it looks like the description still has the chapters from the disappointing Hello Kitty ramen before this video's actual chapters.)

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

Thank You for sharing your finds, and commendations on your ability to describe food!👑🎖️👍

[@pqrs_987]

16:37 well that depends on the kimchi; if the kimchi uses fish sauce like traditional kimchi, that negates the whole vegetarian aspect of it

[@TracyKMainwaring]

That’s great it includes water!

[@markiangooley]

I do wonder how much fuel or electricity ends up being used to make the (relatively-innocuous but power-dense chemicals) that provide the heat. Then again, in some circumstances it’s definitely worth it. Some of these just use calcium oxide (quicklime). That’s usually made by heating calcium carbonate (releasing carbon dioxide and probably requiring a fair amount of fuel too). Adding water makes calcium hydroxide, and releases a lot of heat. A LOT. Apparently the usual MRE reaction uses magnesium with a little iron, plus table salt: adding water releases heat from the reaction, but people complain that it’s not very hot. Calcium hydroxide can be a bit corrosive but it’s not especially soluble in water. It also can absorb carbon dioxide from the air to produce calcium carbonate. This is how whitewash (largely a calcium hydroxide solution/suspension) works: repeated whitewashing builds up a relatively tough crust of calcium carbonate on a surface as the whitewash takes up carbon dioxide.

[@carlamarquez9381]

I was gifted one of these, i was so surprised how hot it got. If i had not figured out how to close the lid properly, i would have burnt myself

[@haroldtakahashi8875]

💛...looks so good...is the chem pac dryable and reuseable?...

[@RonilynCurtis]

After you use that cooker yo8 can use that again to cook some small amount of rice ?

[@MissTam2000]

Wait! The baby is 10?!? 😂 I've really been here a long time. 🥰

[@emmymade]

He is! Bonkers, right?! Thanks for sticking with me through the years.🥰

[@kelmac1618]

@@emmymadeThanks for trying SO many things and recipes that you are sharing after all these years!!! I’m so happy many others found your videos and love them too!

[@lisapop5219]

We could have used a few for hurricane helene. We had plenty of food and ways to cook without power, but this would have been a nice change of pace during the few weeks without power

[@eunicemayo7512]

Like what you found with those fast meals , it’s neat for emergencies and if you don’t really want to wait …Love the things you find and test , interesting finds….♥️♥️♥️

[@m.s.5738]

Thanks for sharing, it looks good, where can I buy these self heating meals? I live in the UK, never see this type of convenient food.

[@nahuel]

That one moment when we got to see the backstage 😶. It was like seeing someone who uses glasses all the time but without them.

[@terrywestbrook-lienert2296]

Emmy's dinner flipped its lid! 😂

[@serasplays]

This would have been awesome during the winter storm. I was without power for three days and had to cook ramen noodles over candles.

[@lisabierschwal4622]

I bought some of the clear noodles fixed them ! I thought i was gonna have to go to the hospital with severe stomache pain over night ! Wont eat anymore

[@culgan86]

"Pretty stinking great..." Great descriptive narrative *clap*

[@pheart2381]

These are so expensive in the uk. We are behind when it comes to emergency food.

[@richardwright6796]

This was awesome 😊 where can I find these meals?

[@thunder11757]

I have a bad habit of watching these shows while being hungry with no food around. I must stop this madness... 😅😎

[@robbiexiong3508]

Is it safe for daily consumption?

[@ricnyc2759]

You're a nice person. Don't change!

[@misspiggy7336]

I love that kimchi bowl. I've had it before. It was sold at the local Korean market. But I can't find it again 😢.

[@theeyesehaveit]

Of both meals…I liked the cold noodles the best. Hope I can find them. Would love to try them.

[@applesong01]

You also posted the description for the magic onigiri on the numbers in chapters

[@kim52763]

Is there a link for the cold konyac noodles? If not, how about a description? Thank you!

[@emmymade]

An link is in the description.

[@TheCotzi]

ihave a cooker that only needs heating elements replacements its out of metal and i put my own stuff in for camping or emergencys

[@Beckshap22]

Emmy I would love to see you making sourdough!!❤❤ from homemade starter to full loaves, I’m currently on the journey and all I can think about is how you wouldn’t give up so I’m not either lol!!😂😂❤❤❤❤

[@yaddamop6309]

My last year in the National Guard (1999), we were introduced to these really neat new MRE's where we could actually "cook" our food with a chemical reaction. Pretty cool.

[@zzydny]

The cold noodles look sort of like Tokoroten (gelidium) that I've seen on Japanese TV shows. Isn't there a lot of plastic waste from the self-heating meal?

[@arkboi2145]

Can I get a link for those Konjac Noodles?

[@julienorbury6509]

Thanks so much! I wonder if I can get this sort of thing in Western Australia. The city is quite multicultural so it's quite possible. I'm thinking it might be good to keep in the car; there are lots of long roads without much sign of civilisation in WA.

[@alisonsoifer4191]

Very intriguing

[@wynnkidsnannylorivance4111]

The rice noodle salad looked delicious to me

[@emmymade]

It was.😋

[@Axel3xA]

Just make sure you're a in well ventilated room when you set up the self heating meal. That Steam (gas) coming out is hydrogen, it's flammable!

[@eadweard.]

Does it produce enough hydrogen to actually catch light?

[@kelmac1618]

😮

[@Janmcw-p6h]

Speaking from Australia, where would I get one

[@axtran]

The Konjac noodles are low carbohydrate! Love them!

[@bluewater4]

Noodles look like cooked cabbage which are good at any temperature. Thanks for exploring the emergency food. I have seen many kinds at travel plazas but never tried. Too expensive to try without knowing how. That does look good. You are thorough in descriptions. Thank you. Trucker survival food! Need to look for inexpensive offerings. Good for shelf storage. Easy. Sure the expiration date is not going to be that strict in observing. Great job.

[@MISSJADELONDON]

Question... did it say to drain the konjac noodles?

[@twocvbloke]

"Once you pop, you have a cardiac arrest!!!" :P

[@garytighe1822]

I remember that episode ❤

[@convileedwards8579]

You are amazing 💘💘💘

Oh Emmy, I am so happy you endured, ahh, I mean “enjoyed” yeah enjoyed, that’s what I meant! I had to look away when you strained the errrmm, “noodles”. I am totally a dry food, and texture person. Grrrrrg!

You've already done the Bimimbop... I bought it after watching your video where you tested 2 or 3 different meals.

[@mikey-qz8to]

I know some people will disagree with me on this but I think these kind of meals will be perfect for homeless and shelters they are quick easy and safe and this would be perfect for countries that have low power - kind of meals are perfect

are those heating chemicals safe???

[@garyw6900]

Great idea, but it’s $45 for one meal at my local Walmart for one of these meals.

[@aek03030731]

Does the heater require special disposal? I would imagine the contents are more than a little toxic.

[@eadweard.]

How can you tell?

[@MoonlitGamer]

Would Konjac be good in an emergency? It is filling but it's super low in calories.

[@FrogInABow]

i swear by those noodles when i wanna stick to a low carb diet

[@aek03030731]

Poke a hole in the lid to vent the steam

[@zimboloves]

Does this feel like Deja vu to anyone else? Is this a repost ?

[@laura121684]

No. She says right in the intro that she's tested this type of meal before but just not this flavor. So no, it's not a re-post.

[@zimboloves]

@ Yes, I know. I’ve been here for a long time and have seen many of her MRE videos (most of her content in general)- she always says something to that effect. However, this video in particular seems familiar. I swear she did these exact items a few months ago.

[@I_am_Mata]

[@daveincognito]

Those konyac noodles remind me of jellyfish. They're white, slightly translucent, and they kind of dangle like tentacles.

[@JK-vi9gd]

Im just glad the chopsticks are wodden.

[@ShawnHawkins666-33]

The calorie count on MREs is astronomical.

[@jenniferbabuca]

They are good calorie and sodium levels for soldiers who are hiking with a lot of gear all day.

[@ShawnHawkins666-33]

@jenniferbabuca yup

[@johnbaldridge1303]

So????

[@CallieMasters5000]

MREs are made to keep you alive in bad situations, not to provide a great tasting meal or keep you on a healthy diet.

[@cherylchristian5673]

What are you supposed to do with that huge plastic dish? Don't worry about plastic chopsticks, they need to give you a use for all that plastic!
