Self Heating Brownie

Baking a Brownie on a beach with a self heating pot!

I would not expect a fresh egg in the brownie pack - it would be pretty awkward to find it after storing it for a few years in a cabinet 😅

[@tabby_cat]

there is probably a best before date somewhere on the packet, to tell you how long it can be stored

[@nikosaronim]

​@@tabby_cat yeah. In east asia, even though it's packaged like that they tend to try to keep it for a certain period of time before selling it at a discounted price to ensure it is consumed before expiry.

[@_beank]

It was bought online and i think it is also packaged by workers that put fresh egg inside when someone orders

With the first two meals it looks like everything's already cooked (apart from the rice and the noodles), so you'd be able to eat them cold. As for the brownie: Japanese people eat raw eggs, so I wouldn't worry about that one either.

For 6 US dollars, the curry rice looks to be a pretty filling meal! I’m surprised with how generous the package is with the rice. Microwave food where I live tends to come with minimal… everything 😅

[@xr6lad]

Rice is cheap tbh. It’s a filler. Like pasta is usually cheap as well as it’s a filler. I think it’s whether you get a good amount of meat or decent vegetables.

[@johannfunn6962]

@@xr6lad Fair point. At least it’ll be filling if not the most nutritious 🥲

[@xr6lad]

@@johannfunn6962I like rice as long as there is a good sauce (of course plain rice tastes of little). That’s why if I had these packs I’d tip the meat/sauce onto the rice side and mix together.

[@seanchan9657]

I really enjoyed seeing the time lapse of the cooking process. The view of the beach is nice too!!! I wanted to point out that ants were crawling around the container occasionally, so I'd next time recommend the higher surface/ground so insects don't get in the way of the food

[@_DeMera_]

Agreed! Fun video but the ants crawling in the bowl and around the food was off-putting. Love the water view though!

[@Konani_the_unicorn_queen]

i thought Bacon's was just a boss for not being bothered by them, boiled for safety and extra proteins :3!

[@Wolfsschamane]

Yeah, I kept wanting to say to move away from the antnest, you could clearly see them crawling around the whole area. Bacon did move for the last part but it was fairly distracting.

Seeing that egg in the matcha brownie box surprised the heck out of me as an American. Then I have to remember how other countries treat their eggs.

[@sarmatiko]

Yeah so many questions with that one. It doesn't seem to have any end date on the package either. Do they sell this brownie refrigerated? Will they just repackage it if not sold after 3 months (let's assume "fresh" egg can last this long, although personally I'll question any egg older than 10-14 days in my fridge).

[@lounolastname4477]

@@sarmatiko In many countries people don’t keep their raw eggs in the fridge. In USA you wash the protective outer coating off, that makes them porous and susceptible to bacteria. Your egg yolks also seem oddly coloured and pale - not sure why? I live in the UK and am lucky enough to be able to buy all of my eggs from a farm shop and don’t have to worry about dates - if the egg floats then don’t use it is how I gauge it if unsure

[@SoratheWonderful]

@@sarmatiko as Lou has stated we have different methods for our eggs that most of the world in which is due to alternative methods against salmonella. I would hope they do have a labeled expiration date or something due to that egg. If refrigerated eggs can last up to 21 days according to the FDA. it’s all a Matter of different country different rules in hindsight.

Some Asians eat fermented eggs, and a variety of other things we wouldn’t think of as food safe. It’s probably fine

I love being on the beach in the summer; I might not be by an ocean, but Lake Ontario ptoduces some nice beach waves to relax by, so I really enjoy whenever you're at this particular sandy spot.
