Bakepackers are round metal rings with waffling inside. Kinda like a metal
waffle. Put about an inch of water in your cook pot. Put the bakepacker in.
Put the food to be cooked into a food storage bag. Fold over the top of the
bag but leave room for venting. Put the bag on the bakepacker. Cover the pot
and bring the water to a boil and then simmer for the right amount of time
(the recipes or experience tell you). 

Works a whole lot like Ern's two pot and rocks non-burner method.

These work for casseroles, cake, corn bread, muffin mixes, Lipton mixes or
whatever. No clean up. The weight for the small one is four oz. Large size is
8 oz. Cooking takes 15-20 minutes so fuel consumption might be a
consideration.

Hope this helps. Sally
