Mealmart shelf stable is 10x better than Stogel.
+1000, love those. Don't think they can be heated in airplane oven though.

I once cooked it sealed in a pot of water.

Totally disagree. I would rate them an easy 6-8, depending on the particular meal.

Well, if Kashrus went down then quality should have probably gone up.  ;) ;D

Maybe we should have Lucky or one of the other bloggers sample it, if he gives a thumbs down, we know Kashrus is good, and vice versa.
