To take care of our backpacking comrades, both furry and not-so-furry, we pack along Jetboil's 1.5L Ceramic FluxRing Cook Pot. The stout design allows for an easy simmer to get the rice cooking quicker. Once the grains are soft, we drain the water through the lid's strainer ports and set it aside to cool off for our thirsty pup. Back on the heat, we quickly finish the rest of our trailside meal before our hangry companions can start grumbling.
