Eat Sleep Wild Dehydrated Meals

How to rehydrate your dehydrated meals in 3 easy steps.

1. Add water
Place your dehydrated meal in a pot or heatproof container. Cover with water — just enough to fully submerge the food (start with a 1:1 ratio by volume).

2. Bring to a boil
Heat the mixture until it comes to a boil, then turn off the heat. Stir well.

3. Let it sit
Cover and let it sit for 10–20 minutes. Check the texture — if it’s still chewy or dry, add a splash more water and reheat gently.

💡 Tip: A pot cozy or insulated food jar helps retain heat and speeds up rehydration.
