Thermal Cookers: Powerful Solution for Efficient Emergency Cooking

During our 30-Day Grid Down Cooking Challenge, we frequently used retained heat or thermal cooking to save fuel. This ancient method of fuel conservation can be beneficial to use every day, as well as when during hard times.

In retained heat cooking, food is brought to a boil in a pot and then transferred to an insulated container to continue cooking the food. The retained heat cooker maintains temperature long enough to complete the cooking cycle.

Retained heat, thermal cooking, and fireless cooking are all different names to capture the same concept. In this video, we will share with you the basics principles of retained heat cooking. Knowledge is power. This little gem of knowledge may just come in quite handy when times get tough.
