Cups - Double Duty Uses in the Camp Kitchen

hello NorCal!

we have a fun project we are working on with the folks over at Overland Gourmet and Adventure Vehicles through Twitter.

the goal is to come up with the most creative, and reasonable, double-duty uses for cups in the camp kitchen. suggestions will be compiled into a blog entry and shared with each other's readers. it's a fun, friendly "competition" so let's hear your experiences with double-dutying them cups!

please provide your suggestions by 8:00 PM PST, Thursday, July 07. i will compile your feedback into a blog entry on NorCal and provide you with links to the Overland Gourmet and Adventure Vehicles blog entries to compare notes.

let's hear those creative ideas and uses!

addendum:

thanks for the creative suggestions! the blog post, Double Duty Uses for Cups - Creativity Challenge, has been written and links to Overland Gourmet's and Adventure Vehicles' parallel entries will be added as soon as they become available.

thermo cups count?

making rice.. pre-soak rice for a 1-2 hours, put boiling water in, wait 1-2 more hours.. or use minute rice and skip the soaking part.. just boiling water and 15 minutes.

(and lots of one cup meal combined with dehydrated veggies and condense soup...)
