That's the first I've ever heard of Scepter cans cracking. If you can drive a vehicle over them, I can't see how just sitting full of water would cause any issues....?

I just did some web surfing trying to find any mention of Scepter cans cracking and if you had one crack, I'd love to hear the how/where/why as nobody else seems to have encountered the problem.

Everyone who may or may not have canned items from the LDS, need to road test each item. What the instructions recommend, vs. how much water you really need are 2 different amounts.

I cook rice every morning. Today is basmati with gyro and kafta, tomorrow is jasmine with kalbi ribs. Wait what are we talking about again?

Curious where you bought the rice? How is it packaged under the boxes?

Thanks

I bought all food that can be eaten cold if necessary, and none that uses water. I figured a gallon of water per person per day so we're good for at least two weeks, more if we're careful. Next on my list is a propane stove.

Also get the adaptor hose to use a 20# propane bottle, the little bottles don't last very long.

You can get by with a half gallon in moderate temps and having baby wipes for cat baths

I don't know the right word for it, but some places sell a "turkey frying kit" that includes the pot, 'stove', etc. and it appears to be intended for outdoor use (for obvious reasons). I don't eat turkey, but came across someone that bought the whole ensemble just for the pot and was tossing the 'stove' aspect, unused. This stove hooks up to a standard propane tank and for all intents/purposes, is a fantastic outdoor stove/burner. I presume they are somewhat inexpensive but have not purchased one myself as I lucked into one that was being discarded in spite of being brand new.

Side Show, where would someone find this adapter? Thanks.
