I suppose you cook drape it over a flat rock too and get the same result.
I do make my own fried bread at times mixing different things experimenting with baking powder, dehydrated potato flakes, and or dehydrated milk. You can fry it in any kind of oil (small amount).
As far as rice I buy the minute rice since I don't plan on having lots of gas or propane to waste cooking regular rice for 20 minutes in boiling water.
One thing I would like to add about canned goods. I keep a fair supply at my cabin year round (northern Minnesota) and it does NOT hurt them to freeze in any way shape or form. They have never burst on me and I have never gotten sick whatever from it. I'm talking cans of food with high water content too such as green beans.
The consistency does change somewhat and the water trends to go to the top but again...NONE of the cans ruptured. I would think frozen canned goods in a northern climate might even extend the shelf life six months or so. But I'm not an expert.
