The farts are pretty horrific the first few days after you start. I was standing fireguard under turning blades during a UH-60 start and still almost gagged. Definitely gets better once your body adjusts and I actually felt pretty good.

To update my post I want to add, unfortunately, I'm allergic, so I can't eat canned food. Therefore, if I go on such a trip, I take the necessary products only for 1 day. And then I look for markets where I can buy fresh food. But this was not always the case. There was a time when I felt good, and then something went wrong. Due to poor health, I had to take an allergen test, which I sent to this lab intolerancelab.co.uk. After 5 days, I received a result that said that I was allergic to a component that is contained in all canned food. Since then, I only eat fresh food.

You can thaw the food out in the sink, hot plate, nuke it, or other.

I looked at the Hotlogic Mini years ago. Back then online pics showed using a pirex dish heating food (I did not want to carry a pirex dish and the empty space it would take) and I thought it would take 5 hours or so to heat food (5 hours not practical). After reading your post, I went back and had a second look. Numerous videos online now. No need for the pirex dish at all for one and even hard frozen food reheats faster than 5 hours. Still takes a bit longer than I want but it's better than not having a microwave when hitting one of 'those' hotels and is low profile enough to just have in my bag in case I need it. Ordered one and I've tested a couple meals here at home and I'm looking forward to using it on my next trip. Neat device.
