I purchased a chafing pan and Sterno fuel, such as would be used for catering. It was readily available at the local Smart & Final. I've never opened or used it, unfortunately. My friend informs me that camp-stove cooking is a very, very slow process that could take hours to heat a meal. I really want to test this thing out before I have to use it in a crisis. I suppose that I should maintain a stock of food that I can actually prepare with this system, because I really don't normally cook anything at home. I doubt I could make pasta, because that requires boiling. At this point, I would probably clear out the freezer, which currently contains a lot of sourdough bread, frozen fruits and veggies. I could probably get a few presentable meals out of that stuff.
