Recipe Notes
Here are a couple of tricks to successfully heat up your food in a hot spring.
1. The hotter the water, the faster and hotter the food will be. If your pool is cold, then your food will be cold.
2. Do not drink or use the hot spring water in combination with your food.
3. In some areas you can find small pools of scalding water near the tubs for people. Scout out the area before you jump in and look for other cooking locations.
4. Keep your spoon and bowls nearby so you won't have to get out of the water when its time to eat.
