I am watching your video in June 2020. From Venezuela. Not only in strict quarantine but also with problems of electricity, water, and propane gas supply. Millions of thanks Excuse my English.
Thanks. Been doing this….it works great. I’ve commandeered my husbands yeti. 🙄 works perfectly. With thicker cuts of stewed meats, I sometimes take it out after 5 or so hours and reboil and put back for another few hours.
Amazing. I am so keen to try this. Here in the UK Sept 2022 and awaiting huge gas/electricity increases next month. What a wonderful idea for keeping costs down and for emergencies, power cuts etc. You're great! 😊
There are devices sold for this, they’re called thermal cookers. I have a large pot and insulated holder made by Thermos. It uses a vacuum for insulation, which is best. After twelve hours, it’s still 170 degrees. I use it to cook my my beans overnight, it works great!
I found NO insulation in a my coleman ice chest. So I injected foam in the lid and now I'm putting more foam under the lid.. I made pillows of pearlite.. It was still 170 degrees after 5 hours.
This was great! My friend, my partner and I were hanging out one night and I mentioned how cheap I was and my partner said that I wasn't cheap, but frugal. I wasn't exactly sure what it meant but now I understand because I watch your vids and everything you post is definitely appealing lol thanks so much!
This was such an excellent video. I live off grid and use propane. I wanted to make one of these but never thought of using a cooler. Thanks for all the useful details .
Seriously?!?! This is great! I have a couple of coolers I never use. I keep thinking I'm saving them for troubled times. Well, not any longer. I'm going to use them NOW. LOL Thank you so much!
Love your videos! You have such a nice personality, too. I have cooked in this manner and love it! Great to know and a good way to save energy. I also make "cooler corn". You wash out your cooler well....add corn on the cob ears....cover with boiling water (and a bit of sugar if you like)...and shut the lid. Depending on the amount of corn and size of cooler...wait 20-30 minutes or so and you'll have nice corn on the cob without boiling and using the stove burner and heating the house.
I actually may wind up using this technique in place of the usual stovetop cooking/oven finishing during the summer to help keep my house cool! It will help to keep us comfortable and lets my a/c not have to work so hard to heat this old, leaky house; which then, of course, translates into power and money saved!I also can make some things potentially on the stove top to finish in the heat-retention setup that I normally would cook entirely in an oven, as well, because Corningware recently reintroduced their line of bakeware that is also stovetop safe! My mom has one of the ooooooold ones and it roasts the best chickens. I love mine, too! And this gives me an excellent excuse to use it more. Casserole night, anyone?
thank you for sharing this ... I have all the materials to make this work ... My hubby and I live in a travel trailer and I have used up a lot of my propane... I am so going to do this... :DBtw I Love your channel !!!
Nice job! This will definitely be something to have around. I can think of countless things to cook this way. Thanks for sharing such seriously useful way to cook. Take care.
I'm building myself a wooden one using materials I already have to insulate it. Our power bills have gone through the roof and I dont understand why everybody isnt doing it!
Sound idea and it does work. 25 years in a can... Well good luck with that idea... It could well last that long but you would not want to go past the expiry date which is probably much less or should be. All in all a good video on acquired heat... If you did this actively I would look at other insulators inside the cooler/warmer. May run into more plastic issues using it as a cooker? As I said the idea is a sound one.
---my uncle is a prepper and yes, there is food packaged to last for 25 years! I was surprised when I learned of that. It is something that you can at least survive on, if needed, is the idea. I bet it doesn't taste the greatest either. :)
If shtf think it would be better to just get water super hot then put food in and directly into box because you don't want people to smell your cooking on stove.
I'm going to use these techniques to keep my food and car battery warm in the freezing winter? I have another car battery in my car but I want it insulated and warm when I'm at work? And I thought about using bot bottles of water inside the crate to keep the battery warm?
Did it work? I've heard in some setups they put in two saucepans (one with the stew/soup and one with hot water). So I'm sure your idea would work, the hotter and larger volume (more thermal mass) the better
Wow! Saving energy and my wallet especially in the heat. I am making a hash brown casserole tomorrow. Will it work usingndairy products as in sour cream and milk?

Excuse my English.
Look up solar cooking.
Your blog has remained a reference for me after all these years. Thank you for all that you do.
I used a blanket and wool pillow in a cardboard box,and I just swallowed my first bit of thermally cooked potato!😊 seriously didnt expect it to work.

This is way of cooking is ancient . My people have been cooking with hot coals and sand for thousands of years. I’m First Nations .
Nice job and thanks for teaching this!

Cool! I'm glad I was able to be a help to you, Thanks for your support!
You gave me an idea on how to prepare breakfast oatmeal without heating up the house.
Good work, I'm going to try this. That esky looks huge!

This is great!! Please keep on posting 😊
Thank you!!! The information in this tutorial is terrific, I was just about to give up on cooking while I'm camping.
Great video. This is how my dad cooks our holiday country ham. I will have to try this.
Very good video.
Just an idea, but you could put a couple of mason jars or old glass jars filled with boiling water to keep it hotter longer.
thank u for sharing. it is very helpful.
Great idea! Will try this soon since I have everything I need to do it.
I live in a small space and hate to heat it up on warm days. This is great!
I'm building myself a wooden one using materials I already have to insulate it. Our power bills have gone through the roof and I dont understand why everybody isnt doing it!
Thanks for sharing really useful and handy to know . Would work great for camping or help lower our gas and electricity consumption
Super neat idea!! It is something I will try!
Thanks for sharing. Awesome idea.

Totally helpful. Thank you so much.
I can see how sand bags would be really good for this!
Stuff a small piece of aluminum foil in your vent whole to stop the steam
Suuuuper!! Thanks!
If shtf think it would be better to just get water super hot then put food in and directly into box because you don't want people to smell your cooking on stove.
Temperature check before taste test!
this is great. I will definitely file this for emergencies.

Thanks a lot it was very usefull .

This Is So CooL!!
Using a ice blanket 1'x16" putting towels around pot and gel packs in between towels and ice chests.?
Put plastic wrap or foil on the pot and then the lid
Girl, why are you not using your home grown tomatoes.
What state do you live in?
Hello and thanks for your question, I live in Colorado.
repeating sentences too many times, give the info more quickly, too long!
5:25 You're still repeating yourself and you haven't got to the point . Bye.
