The Wonder Box


Aloha Everyone! You might be wondering, what on earth is a wonder box? A wonder box is a heat retention cooker. After you bring your food to a boil, (so it is heated throughout) using any number of cooking methods, you remove it from the heat source and quickly place the pot inside the wonder box.
The insulation of the wonder box will slow your food’s loss of heat keeping at cooking temperatures for hours. Using a wonder box reduces the amount of fuel needed to cook your meal because the fuel that would normally be used to keep your food at cooking temperatures after it has started boiling is eliminated.  You can cook anything in a wonderbox that you can in a crock pot.

Seeing as I live off-the-grid, and don't generate enough solar electricity to run a crock pot, I am really excited to try this simple project!  But you should be too, because it can save you lots of money on your electric bill, and prepare you for cooking in emergencies!
