I've been recycling the light weight plastic containers/tubes that many powdered drinks (e.g., Tang) come in for this.

Same plan here, but I save the soft plastic jars that Red Hots come in. Perfect for reconstituting dried stuff and making pudding. BTW, I have quite a few and keep coins (seldom  spend change) and lots of other things in them.

Gimp: Yeah, I've boiled the meat a few times when I forgot to start the process at noon (sometimes I don't stop to eat). It definitely helps, probably even is the best way to do it, but the extra fuel  :'(. Maybe I should burn more wood.

I have had tuna and salmon powder, so know that problem. Both of them are also really sharp when dried and will destroy single plastic bags.
