The BakePacker baking system offers a quick, no-mess alternative to conventional oven baking. Mixing bowls and baking pans are not required. The finished product is moist and flavorful.
The BakePacker is not a steamer. Each compartment of the aluminum grid functions as a single, self-contained heat exchanger. When the water in these compartments is boiled, the rate of heat transfer from the water to the plastic bag is very high. Higher, in fact, than a steamer, double boiler or an open pan of boiling water.
The BakePacker can be used for baking breads and biscuits. Any freeze-dried entree can also be prepared with the BakePacker system. It preserves flavor and eliminates clean-up, by cooking and serving from Glad food storage bags or Reynolds oven cooking bags.

“BakePacker Rocks!” We love the BakePacker. It's the most versatile tool I bring camping. I do agree with the previous posting that the stuff takes longer than the recipes state. For instance, when we bake a cake, it takes about 40 minutes rather than the 20 minutes the booklet claims. Still, it's awesome. We make baked omelettes in it and they come out perfectly with no mess. We also reheat precooked rice in it, and even steam vegetables... all with no mess. Definitely like it for the cakes. Bring a jar of Nutella along for frosting. Love it. -Tsan, Berkeley
“This is the coolest gear ever!” I found the Bakepacker and decided to try it out. It has fast become my favorite camping kitchen tool and I now own a second one! I love the ability to make muffins for breakfast, cake for dessert, and add extra noodles to the freeze dried meals. I'm also having fun adapting meals that I really enjoy to my bakepacker. I regularly rave about this tool to anyone who looks remotely interested. :-)
The only complaint I have ever had is that things seem to take a lot longer to cook than the recepe indicates. I don't know if I'm not cooking at a high enough temperature, have too much water in the recipe, or if it's due to the pan being just slightly larger than the tool. It really doesn't matter, I just experiment at home to get a better idea of how long it will take to cook.
Thanks for designing this great tool! -Jeri Lynn C.
“Close to Home Baked” I really like the backpacker because of its light weight. - It easily fits inside a standard pot. Food is cooked in a bag that sits on this metal screen thing. Essentially the food is "steam baked" in the bag. - I find food to be a bit "wetter" than normal baked goods but pretty darn good. Add to it the fact that you are enjoying it in the backcountry and life does not get any better.- One other positive is that you can use it with a canister stove unlike an outback oven where the fuel source has to be separate. -Deanna, Crested Butte, CO
