>>686976I apologize for not replying yesterday, I can sense how much you enjoy our little talks and I thank you for the point by point breakdown of my last post, it makes me feel sooo special...
Despite your attempts at obfuscation, the truth is that this whole "discussion" boils down to two careless comments you made:
1) "This never works well at anything over 9000 ft"
If only you'd said, "this can sometimes be problematic at anything over 9000 ft" or " this can be more difficult at anything over 9000 ft" then everyone would've been in agreement with you because, yes, freeze dried food takes longer to rehydrate at altitude. But no, you said, "never works well" which is WRONG. When I (among others) called you out on this obvious mistake, you compounded your error by stating:
2) the most efficient way to do this is dump the freeze dried food into a pot
The area where you are apparently having difficulty discerning your ass from the proverbial hole in the ground, is that you don't seem to know what "efficient" actually means. I posted the definition above but I guess considering how busy and obsessed you've been with all the presoaking, boiling, and stirring you've been doing, you must've overlooked it, so I'll post it again.
Efficient - achieving maximum productivity with minimum of wasted effort or expense.
Key phrase - minimum of wasted effort.
minimum of
minimum
mi-ni-mum
The "method" of rehydration that you outlined is the fuckin' epitome of wasted effort. Rebagging, pouring into pots, acquiring additional water, soaking, constant stirring, and cleaning food from pots is a complete and total waste IF ALL YOU ARE DOING IS REHYDRATING because all that is REQUIRED is additional time in the bag.
