I like rice in my foil dinners. But it requires some moisture. Usually I make up the foil packet, leaving one end open, and then pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water in open end and then seal that end up. Unfortunately, it seems like my foil packet is never quite air (or water) tight and the water starts to leak out.
I found a solution. Ice cubes.
Instead of putting water in, put some ice cubes in. It worked great. Now the water doesn't run out, and the cubes eventually melt to provide the moisture for the rice. Not only that, but the other vegetables cooked better too.
I love to cook outdoors, whether it's grilling, barbecuing, dutch oven cooking, or cooking over a campfire! To me, food always tastes better when it's cooked outdoors!
As an Eagle scout, and a bachelor I am a huge fan of Foil dinners. I like to make 10 or more single serving packets of veggies and protien but could never figure out how to add the ointure i needed for rice without quaddruple packing the foil. the ice is BRILLIANT. Thank you sir!!

You are welcome! I find that it works pretty well. And I love having rice in the foil dinners.
That is such a cool idea! No pun intended. Any other great tips for when cooking rice on a camping trip?
