I once borrowed a hire boat, not realizing that since I had only borrowed it that no one had filled up the water-tank. No water, far worse than no tin opener, probably on a par with no toilet paper, e

You might be surprised at the usefulness of a blow torch! Rope ends, heat shrink etc.Great for "caramelising" (burning) some foodstuffs as well! One of the cooks type is what I found at the ever so re

I have to say that I have put my dry ingredients in and yes they do work.      I wish I could send you one down to try.   They are not cheap but boy are they good.    I buy the gallon size to freeze items for the boat , ie stews , chillis, spag boll etc and also for storing dry goods.

Yes the Good old FB pie!!!      Now when you go to buy the Fray Bentos Puddings dont be put off by the Microwave only sign on the front.  I contacted the company and they confirmed to me in writing that you can still use the puddings as before, in other words boil in water in the saucepan on the hob for those of us who do not have a microwave on board , so if you lost all of your power except for the good oid gas hob you can still rustle up a meal.   I have bought a couple for our stock cupboard on the boat and will boil them in the saucepan as before.

Now thats interesting about the puddings we will give them a try

Presently using Hollands Guiness steak puddings which are very good but have to be kept frozen, as no freezer on board, the FB puds sound like a good option as we were put off by the microwave only

Thank you for your e-mail 

Our puddings can still be cooked the traditional way: 

200g: Partially open bowl lid. Place bowl in saucepan and add water to no more than two thirds of the way up the bowl. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Carefully remove bowl from saucepan. Fully open bowl and ease pudding out using a knife. Do not allow saucepan to boil dry.  CAUTION: Beware of escaping steam. Handle carefully to avoid scalding.   

400g: Partially open bowl lid. Place bowl in saucepan and add water to no more than two thirds of the way up the bowl. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Carefully remove bowl from saucepan. Fully open bowl and ease pudding out using a knife. Do not allow saucepan to boil dry.  CAUTION: Beware of escaping steam. Handle carefully to avoid scalding.
