A box filled with straw, saw dust, or any kind of insulating material covered loosely with cloth that will allow a nest to be formed for a heated container . A pillow on top, close the box lid, and you have a residual heat cooker. Just a designated cabinet drawer filled with pillows will work also.my great grandma left cook books that described her use of a straw box that was used to cook while they traveled by oxen drawn wagon. I have always used this method, later with styrofoam coolers. Pressure cookers work fine with this method, as do slow cookers. I have a large thick cozey that I place over the slow cookers to keep heat loss at a minimum. Plans are for one that will have a strategically placed hole to go over the electric pressure cooker. Some stoves in the 1920s had built in insulated covers for retainéd heat cooking.
Since oatmeal is already steam cooked, it only needs rehydrated. Boil water, pour over oatmeal in a bowl, cover and wait 5 minutes and it is ready to eat. No need for any insulated cover or hot box. The way recommend in the video would work for rice for cracked wheat groats.
That's very interesting. I just Googled and it says "Raw oats are rolled oat flakes that have been heated during processing but not boiled for use in recipes like oatmeal or porridge". I definitely prefer it cooked in the hotbox overnight but I have learnt something new now. I did not know that oats were already technically cooked. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for this, i love oats and since my time is limited in the morning..this will work perfectly for me. I'm going to try this with barley and grits 👍
Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I'm really not sure why that's happening. Try copy & paste this link & see if it works. If not please email skye.tam@gmail.com www.palatableplants.wixsite.com/palatableplants
