Had a kelly kettle for a while and love just how quickly it boils water once a fire is going in it. Isn’t visible in the picture but the base is propped up on a stand so it isn’t in direct contact with the ground.
Has anyone else got a similar stove or just generally has good recipes that can be made quickly by adding hot water? Other than pots of instant soup/noodles I have found porridge is a fairly easy one to make by just grinding up some oats at home in a spice grinder and mix with some dried fruit then when I am out all I need is to add hot water.
I love a Kelly kettle! We make just about everything at home and dehydrate it - soup, chili, pasta sauces, even a lot of casseroles. It on the trail we fire up the kettle, pour boiling water over it, and all the stove has to do in keep it simmering on low for 5-10 min. We hardly use any stove fuel at all. The food comes out better than anything you can get in a packet, and it costs the same amount as the meal I would have made at home.
Stuff like soup does sound like a good idea, got an air fryer that can also run as a dehydrator, presumably just dehydrate the soup, maybe get a rack to stack it once its thickened up to a puree consistency? Then grind it up into a powder for instant soup with hot water.
Would probably be a bit more variety and flavour than supermarket instant soup packets.
