APack™ Ready Meals reflect the latest in self-heating technology. The heater included with each meal is a simple combination of powdered food grade iron and magnesium, salt, and water.

When water is poured onto the included heater pad, the heater releases enough heat to warm-up the pre-cooked meal to 100 degrees Fahrenheit in approximately 12 minutes.

To prepare a hot APack™ Ready Meal, remove your kit from the case, open the kit and take out the meal pouch, salt water and heater sleeve. Then follow the step-by-step instructions below:

(Click a link above to view these heating instructions in video format!)		Open carton and retrieve meal pouch. Tear open heater sleeve at top arrow.
Insert the unopened meal pouch into the heater sleeve.		Pour salt water into the heater sleeve directly onto the heating element.
Fold the sleeve over the meal. Lay meal flat on surface with fold facing upward and heating element on bottom.		Slide the heater sleeve into the carton, unopened end first. Prop the carton against an angled surface to allow steam to rise.
After 10-12 minutes, the meal is fully heated. Remove the sleeve, tear where indicated and slide out the meal pouch.		Be careful - the contents are hot! Open the meal pouch and you're ready to eat!

Please Note: Once you've applied the water solution, the unit will become activated and produce heat and steam. Used Food Heaters are non-toxic and may be thrown in the trash. They do not produce Carbon Monoxide, but may activate CO detectors. Use in a well-ventiliated area on a heat-safe surface. Keep out of reach of children.
