    A double boiler, sometimes called a “hot water bath”.

    Basically a container with what you’re cooking inside over the top of a pot of heated water.

    It heats things up evenly and gently.

      Judging by the can, this thing is meant for multi-day backpacking trips, and you’re telling me that on top of tent, sleeping pad, change of clothes, propane stove etc. I have to bring a freaking bain marie along and do some french cooking nonsense in order to get this to taste right, when the patty already looks more like an industrially manufactured pipe seal?

      Sure, no problem, I got my bain marie right here, next to my solar powered sous vide oven and my portable overnight charcoal smoker. I don’t need room for water or sunscreen or anything, having a gourmet canned cheeseburger is far more important.

      LOL
      LMAO, even
