Heating capsule for Adventure Menu self-heating meals

Self-heating capsule is a key part of the self-heating system for ready meals from Adventure Menu. Simply place it into the ZIPPER BAG heating bag (not included), add the required amount of water, and close the zipper. Within moments, a chemical reaction producing hot steam begins and evenly heats the meal. The capsule is intended for single use, and thanks to its compact size it takes almost no space in your backpack. For a complete setup, you need to purchase the ZIPPER BAG heating bag separately. Capsules are available in two versions, smaller 30 g and larger 60 g. We recommend choosing the 30g capsule for thorough heating of 1 meal (200–450g ready portion) or the 60g capsule if you want to heat 2 meals at the same time. The larger 60g capsule is also required for full heating of larger Lightweight meals with a total heated food weight over 500 g.
