31st January 2012- Cooking

We cooked tomato soup, made hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows.
We used a trangia to cook our food. To cook the soup and boil the water for our hot chocolate we used the burner, we also used the burner to toast our marshmallows. This didnt take as long as other peoples meals did as its not very complex, but if we were to take it on an expedition it wouldn't weigh much and would provide nutrients that we would need.

It was a success because we didn't burn anything and the pans were easy to clean and when we got it, it was hot and edible.

Our meal was easy and less filling compared to Perry's as his group cooked chicken curry and rice. Their meal took a lot longer than ours and had a higher risk of contracting food poisoning. We had finished our meal and were boiling a second batch of water and packing up, they were still cooking there chicken and rice. There was no risk of food poisoning with our meal but they had to make sure that their chicken was good correctly to prevent it.

If we had to do it again we would cook something different and more filling so that it would provide more energy for us.
