Review:

I've come across this type of Self Heating Food before and have, despite being initially sceptical, been pretty impressed with the concept and the actual food itself. So how would Hotbox Self Heating meals stack up against the competition?

Despite us being well into May now, the afternoon I decided to spend fishing at Priory Lakes in Surrey was on the cold side with a strong North Westerly wind blowing right into my face. By mid afternoon as I was in need of a hearty meal and some warmth. The first Hotbox meal I tried was their Chilli Con Carni variety. Heating the Hotbox meals is really simple: press the button on the box to start the heating process, wait 10 minutes or so for the meal to heat thoroughly, open and enjoy. Having waited the required amount of time, I opened the box (which comes complete with fork and napkin) and tucked in. Now I am particularly fussy about my Chilli and I have to say that the Hotbox meal was really very tasty ... not as good as mine, but much better than I was expecting from a meal in a box.

The meal was well heated through and the was extremely convenient for outdoor use (such as when fishing). There is no fiddling around pouring water onto a heater pad to activate it, everything is contained within one easy to use box ! Purely in terms of research (not because I am a greedy so and so), I also tried the Beef Stew which was equally as good as the Chiili.

To sum up, I would highly recommend Hotbox self heating meals to anyone who wants a convenient, tasty hot meal in any situation where there is no access to cooking facilities.
