Rice is a staple food for two-thirds of the world's people, especially in Asia and Africa. It can be savory and spicy in one meal, creamy and cheesy in another, and sweet and fluffy or crunchy in yet another. Rice is also nutritious, lightweight, durable and inexpensive - qualities important to backcountry travelers. The biggest downside to rice as a trail food, is that it takes 20 minutes or more to cook. You can reduce this time, by presoaking rice in water (to carry in you backpack), or you can use “minute rice” for some recipes.

CARDBOARD OVEN
Make the cardboard oven shown in this video from a corrugated cardboard box. Cut cardboard into two pieces: 12 in x 28 in rectangle and 9-1/2 in diameter circle. Glue heavy-duty aluminum foil to the cardboard with contact cement or white glue. Allow the glue to thoroughly dry for several days before using the oven. Cardboard insulation provides stable temperature control, that is much better an oven with only aluminum sidewalls. Use metal skewers as a baking rack. In this demonstration, I used BioFuel as the heat source. Allternatively, a can of Stereo, or charcoal in a fire bowl could be used. Do not heat cardboard ovens above 450 F. Do not expose cardboard ovens to direct flames of a campfire.
