90 Hawaiian rolls for $260.00?

I'd rather die.

I'm really curious, though... how can you possibly remoisten and soften rolls which have been dried to hockey Puck moisture levels?!

As far as the practicality and cost... most of this stuff is marketed to the "more money than sense" crowd (or their "consultants "... who tack on at additional 20% to everything they procure for them) who think a stocked shelter will (or must) allow them to survive "whatever" without any significant lifestyle change. By God! They eat Hawaiian rolls with dinner, and they see no reason a nuclear war should force them to change!

Yeah, I get that. But I'm just not figuring how they can be made edible. Hubby suggested microwaving in a dampened paper bag (which works for "freshening up" slightly stale rolls, and works in a regular oven as well), but anything that requires power would seem to be problematic.

Breaking a tooth on your $4 roll isn't going to help in a disaster!

I have personally ordered in the past from Safecastle, and I can attest to superb customer service and high quality product.

Safecastle has been a member here for many years and also has offered 10% off.

As for the price, y’all know this is freeze dried, right? The small pouches (with hardly any ounces) of freeze dried at the local Wal-Mart were selling for $11.49 last time I checked.

Freeze dried has its place in my preps, and when I need some, Safecastle is where I go.

Highly recommend. :chg:

I'm curious to hear what's supposed to work too. I freeze dry as you know, but NOT bread products. Heck, if there's a good way to reconstitute these to get them to an enjoyable state I'll go into the FD Hawaiian Roll Biz for half the price! :)

I understand Safecastle is a good place to buy freeze dried foods. And a top notch advertiser here.
The questions are still valid.

It's an item I've never run across before and was curious too. I've set aside a couple #10 cases of pilot bread crackers because they can act as a handy comfort food with soup, but also salsa, jam, peanut butter, etc. and having ready, portable carbs is sometimes real important. Also why I like the canned B&M Brown Bread.

Freeze dried rolls are right up there with the freeze dried ice cream on my curiosity meter. ;)

Now I get it.

They're U.S. Government /Military Surplus.

To make them edible, you break them into little pieces with a $600 hammer.

I am willing to bet these rolls are hard as a rock and that is just how you have to eat them, there is no bring them back to soft rolls.
Drying hawaiian rolls yourself, in a low oven will give you the same thing. Put em in a ziplock bag or food saver airless bag.

When I saw "Hawaiian Rolls" I started thinking they freeze-dried spam musubi (teriyaki spam served on a small cylinder of sushi rice and held in place with a strip of nori) or cone sushi (fried tofu pocket filled with sushi rice mixed with chopped up carrot and burdock). I didn't think of sweet bread until much later. Guess I have too many Hawaiian relatives...

I can see steaming them, even under less than ideal conditions. Would about approximate microwaving them with a bit of water. I'd guess they hold most of their original shape (thus only about 15 in a can) but are husk-dry. Re-constituting them might give an edible product. Even not re-constituted, wouldn't break your teeth to bite in. Just probably crumble.

Gotta keep in mind these were packaged for The Executive Branch. They'll have some pretty darned savvy chefs holed up with them in their bunker.

Steaming them briefly and then letting them sit in a sealed container for a few minutes to absorb the moisture might bring them back to an edible condition. I dunno -- I think I'd rather store flour & canned pineapple juice and make them fresh myself. Next time I run a FD load I'll add a small package of these as an experiment and see how they taste when I reconstitute them I guess (unless safecastle cares to send out some samples for us all).

Those Pilot Crackers are actually pretty good and stay fresh tasting too. Great with some of the Bega canned cheese.

I have a lot of safecastle products in the basement. Mostly Mountain House. My only gripe is they over salt just about eventhing. Many of us have to watch out for to much sodium due to high blood pressure issues.

Nah freeze dried stuff is soft for the most part like styrofoam but with flavor.

Aboout 30 years ago I lived next door to a Christian lady
who lived on an island between Italy and Yugoslavia who had her island captured 5 times in her life b Iy various armies.
She KNEW, she expienced starvation! She said they dried sweet roll buns in an oven till they were hard as a rock and stored them in tightly sealed tin cans. That was in good times, when there was food. She also dried fish and wrapped and buried them in good times for later.
All the residents of the island who survived did that. You ate your hard roll dipping it in hot tea.
