Backpacker's Pantry Scrambled Eggs

Summary

Easy and tastey.

This product is very good. Usually if I can find meals for one person I prefer those. However, this packaging for 2 is not an overabundance. It was very easy to prepare and tasted awesome — just add a little seasoning and you're set to go. I use to be able to find freeze dried sausage and that with the scambled eggs made a filling and satisfing meal. Great way to start the day. Great and fast cleanup as you just eat out of the bag.

For a comparative Instant Camp Eggs Cook-Off, I tested and reviewed the following packaged plain egg products:

• Adventure Egg Anywhere Scrambles,
• AlpineAire Scrambled Eggs, 
• Backpacker’s Pantry Scrambled Eggs,
• Backpacker’s Pantry Organic Scrambled Eggs, and 
• Cache Lake Outfitter’s Choice Scrambled Eggs.

I prepared each egg product for breakfast after early morning hikes, using the same stove and cookwear each time (the stove was an Optimus Nova, and the cookset was an anodized aluminum one with a non-stick coating from Primus). For the seasoned egg versions I added black pepper and cut-up or pre-shredded cheddar cheese.

This review focuses on Backpacker's Pantry's Scrambled Eggs.

Backpacker's Pantry Scrambled Eggs package.

Pros:

• Best flavor of the group, comes pre-seasoned with some salt and pepper

• Very good consistency — similar to cooking fresh eggs.

• Easy to prepare and cook

• Resealable container

• My overall favorite

Cons:

• They aren’t fresh eggs, but I really had very little to criticize about them.
