Freeze-Dried & Retort-Cooked, the Way Your Kitchen Would
Every Pamas meal is made using one of two methods.
Freeze-Dried: Removes moisture from fully cooked food while preserving its taste and texture.
Retort-Cooked: Seals meals in an airtight pouch and gently cooks them for a long shelf life.
Both methods are designed to bring back the same taste and texture as freshly cooked homestyle food, just sealed in a pack.
Hot Water or Microwave. Ready in Minutes
Either on the stove or microwave, getting your meal ready takes just a few minutes.
In the microwave: Empty the pouch into a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 90 seconds.
On the stove: Keep the pouch sealed and boil it in water for 3-5 minutes.
Freeze-dried meals: Just add hot water, stir, and let it sit for a few 3 to 5 minutes
No cooking skills required. Just a Pamas homestyle meal, ready in minutes.
