Are the aluminum bottles any good? or should i just get the polar ones?
At what setting do you properly bake water? Can a person broil it or flambe it instead?estone2 said:al heats up superfast, it's metallic
it would bake your water, i'd think.

occasionally used for frames too.....Mr. Versatile said:I've heard rumors that aluminum works very well as a material for rims. Handlebars too.
Just be sure that you don't burn it!The The said:Pour it in a shallow, nonstick pan and bake in an oven preheated to 325F, gas mark 3, for 45 minutes.
great now I will be able to take more with me when I ride and i won't ever have to worry about the weightThe The said:Pour it in a shallow, nonstick pan and bake in an oven preheated to 325F, gas mark 3, for 45 minutes.
Today I ran some hot water through dried orange pekoe and black tea leaves, then put it on ice. First, I was worried that I HAD burnt the water, 'cuz it turned all brown and stuff.....but it ended up tasting ok.Kerry Irons said:Just be sure that you don't burn it!![]()
I know this isn't what you asked, but I really like the camelback (or other brand) systems. I find I take sips in small bursts whenever I feel like very quickly. Plus it doesn't feel as unstable to me as reaching down for the water bottle (which I tend to take big gulps with).mrcrabbiepattie said:Are the aluminum bottles any good? or should i just get the polar ones?
since when did freezing something kill the bacteria?linuxted said:I know this isn't what you asked, but I really like the camelback (or other brand) systems.

I keep the empty camelback bladder in the freezer so that bacteria are killed. I usually use 50% Gateraid, 50% water. On a hot day a cold camelback feels greeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaat![]()
Downsides? More expensive, takes longer to get ready for a ride. You may not like anything on your back.
Upsides: Can hold a LOT of water if you want to buy a big one, quick access, usually additional pockets, cools your back on a hot day.
Probably others, but that's all I could think of
