I don't have an electric skillet but will see if I can get a small one. As
for shelf stable meals we could heat in a skillet, I don't think there are
any. Not really much in the way of soups either. But I will. As for the
gluten free pasta, it doesn't really reheat well. Just sort of breaks into
mush.
