experience it along with us I’ve got morning whip I’m going to give some history I’ve got some chicken fajitas now basically these things are engineered to last forever is it one large rib I don’t know we’re gonna find out so go ahead and start pulling the stuff out here yet you steam it and everything and you warm this thing up chicken fajita filling white meat Oh technically they are engineered to be edible for three years at 80 degrees or six months stored at 100 degrees but I mean for all intents and purposes what temperature are these Vince torta I gotta say I’m a little disappointed because thing makes steam the top of mine says pork rib boneless imitation imitation I wanted the real thing I wanted an actual pork rib but I also got clam chowder that makes up for it the old pork rib and clam chowder combo so wrap put the put the MRE inside with the the Steam Packet thing and we’re going to pour water up to this little line here I gotta let you know I’m excited because this looks like a little McRib I mean I can just see it from that and you know how I feel about the McRib I should have been in the military look how big this thing is I could have had a McRib every meal so now I put this in right Jason yeah yeah and then you pour a little bit of water up to the line I love it’s like I felt like a chemist not just I’m in the military now don’t pour a lot to the bottom of that I’m gonna rip the top off here okay you want to fold this over like that and put it back inside that bow in my invitation box oh it smells interesting doesn’t like pork yet smells like chemistry class and then I just leaned that up against something like this barbecue sauce that’s key so do not overfill I got cheese bread woman’s lifetime you how to make rib with cheese spread
