The Benefits of a Precision Cook System in the Backcountry
Colin Yen is an outdoor content creator based in Vancouver, BC. As he travels the world exploring new and unfamiliar environments, Colin has found that the most comforting feeling is to have a little piece of home with you. For Colin, that means cooking his favorite comfort foods on his Jetboil.
“The Jetboil Minimo is my stove of choice. Being able to boil water fast helps speed up the cooking time of the recipe, as well as the using simmer control allowed me to keep my noodles hot without burning the food. In addition, It was the perfect pot to eat out of as well, which meant fewer dishes to wash!“
What makes the MiniMo (and the rest of the Mo family) such a great system for cooking up your favorite meals in the backcountry? It all boils down to simmer control. Pun intended.
