This technique has been around for generations. I'm surprised you guys didn't do more research. Many so called primitive or nomadic peoples used to dig a pit fill it with a fire, put product on the coals, cover with various types of leaves and then soil over the top for long, low, and slow cooking, witness NZ hangi or Aus Aborigines kangaroo on coals. When I was a lad, 40 odd years ago, it was part of the scouts cooking challenge to cook a meal in a hole or box, with straw. The nice thing about this Wonderbag, is that in incorporates the old tech, along with cottage industry capability. i. e. buy locally making these bags someone has an ongoing business opportunity.

Sorry but this thing seems like a scam. it was advertised at the start as a alternative to using a fire/ electricity but everything still gets cooked over a fire/grill and requires boiling water i mean it seems like a great insulator that is for keeping already cooked foods warm but if you already have a fire going to brown/boil your food then why wouldnt you just spend 5 minutes more on the fire to finish the food, for aid stations and food lines it makes sense but its miss advertised as a alternative slow cooker imo

How is this any different to digging a hole in the ground to keep an already boiled pan hot to slow cook the contents? In what world is charging people for a wad of fabric and insulation better than just. digging a hole for free? People have been managing not to get dirt in their under ground ovens for centuries. And it's not really a slow cooker, is it? It doesn't actually cook anything. Without first using a stove, the bag would be completely useless. I just don't see how this was ever necessary to create.

I don't really understand the surprise in this. This is typical making porridge and rice, and you put it under a down duvet for hours, instead of it boiling for an hour and burning to bottom of a pan, and people have for centuries used this method for cooking long slow stews, covering them in hay boxes, blankets and duvets.
Nothing new in the method, but her idea for african cooking is brilliant.

Here in the Netherlands we have something very similar, it's a woolen bag that you can place a pot into after preparing much like you guys did with the lamb curry, then just close it up and leave it. For better heat retention, place it under your duvet! (plus you get a pre heated bed in the evening) usually used for beef strews and the like. It's called a 'Hooimadam'

this reminds me of the way we have always cooked rice porridge in the winter in our family. we would start the process and get it up to heat. and then put the pot with a lid on in a bed and put the blanket over it and tug it in. when it becomes evening and we wanted to eat, we'd take it out and it's done without overcooking the milk in the bottom.

They entertain, educate and inspire me and i know i'm not alone. Love FOR sorted

Hey,
So I'm from Canada (I don't know if that makes a difference) and I'm trying to donate but it keeps saying card declined. Even through PayPal. but my card works completely fine with any other transaction. Could you please let me know why this is? And if there's an alternative way

Thermal cookers are all the rage in Singapore at the moment. Much more compact and less space consuming than this one. There s an inner pot which you fill with food, heat to boiling on the stove, then place inside an insulated container. Leave for work, come home and dinner is ready!
