[pct-l] Food

[AsABat]

It works miserably with noodles. They turn into a clump of starch mess. When
I use a gas stove I use lots of Lipton noodles with dried meat. When I more
frequently use an alcohol stove I switch to ramen and couscous. I can't seem
to cook noodles on an alcohol stove - suggestions welcome.
