Very similar to what my mother told me about WW2. She had a box filled with straw. Her Dutch oven went into that box after a few minutes boil. Then she covered the top with a wool blanket. It finished cooking by residual heat thus saving energy. Thank you for these interesting lessons!
Yes indeed! Similar to the Wonder Bag concept as well. In fact, I was thinking that I could make that stew in the larger thermos and put it inside my Wonder Bag for added insulation! We have done a couple of videos on wonder bags.
We did straw box cooking in Girl Scouts when I was young.
That is super interesting. I never would have thought of doing that. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Same concept as a crock pot, but just low tech (more energy efficient). Very cool.
I’m totally amazed at the quality of videos you produce. Your teaching methods of food safety, economy, preserving energy ect. Is remarkable. Thanks so much in your ability to share your talents with us. May you feel the gratefulness of your followers as we learn from you💝
I've 'cooked' this way for years (40+/- years) while camping, traveling and during outages even during busy, busy work weeks ! As a result I have to admit I'm surprised that 'what's old is new again' 😉. That being the case,. THANK YOU DEAR LADY FOR BRINGING THIS TO SO MANY DURING THESE TRYING TIMES 💖
Yes, I agree. These old ways are coming back into vogue these days. Thanks for your comments.
Another great, informative video. Never heard of thermos cooking but I will give it a try. Thank you for all you do for us in teaching us these techniques in the stressful days ahead.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching.
When you said the Rubbermaid thermos/cooler was also good for making yogurt, a light bulb went off in my head. Yogurt and proofing bread use the same temperature. In other words, if your bread dough is at 80 F and you put it in a Rubbermaid thermos to proof, it is going to stay at that temp and you will get a more predicable rise (time wise). No need to turn on the light in your oven or use the yogurt setting on your IP or worry about the temp of your kitchen or put it on top of your fridge where you kitchen is warmer, etc. Putting it in a Rubbermaid thermos (or anything like it) free's up your oven, free's up your IP, no need to worry about the temp in your kitchen (I keep my home around 67 F) . . . . Here's a new way/place to proof bread. AAAAND that means the Stanley Food Thermos can also be used to proof bread. And make yogurt.
How did you get it out of the thermos? Seems like an interesting idea.
@@muddyshoesgardener I'm looking at the 8" wide mouth thermos in the vid. If you lower it in with parchment paper, you just pull it back out with the parchment paper.
@@sheilam4964 rip rip.
Very interesting. We're thinking this would work great for our monthly trips 75 miles away for doctor appointments. Much healthier than doing fast food.
I humbly suggest new folks use a food thermometer for this. While I'm sure you've been doing this so long you just know your times and temps and equipment, but those of us new to this might forget that we should always use a food thermometer to check temps to make sure what we're making is safe. :-) (Test the cooking times with plain hot water before you do real food the first time - to make sure your equipment holds the temp the way you think it will.) Great video - very inspiring. The pre-cooked / canned chicken was also a very wise / safe suggestion instead of raw. Loved the idea of all the dried veggies that plumped up when cooking. Thank you!
Thank you so very much. This would have been so handy when we travelled with a motor home. After driving all day, having dinner already prepared would have made life so much easier. I love your videos!
Glad it helped! We do this when we take our trailer out as well. It is very convenient! Thanks for watching.
Thank you, Doctor! Excellent as always. In an emergency situation that requires us to leave our home these thermos ideas could be life saving too.
You are very welcome. And you are right, which is why we have them in our bug out bags.
Amazing!! I would never have thought to do that?? Thank heavens you did and took the time to show us. Thank you!!❤️
I've see cooking in thermos demos before with the explanation of how it works but you do have a way of making and showing 'how' that makes more of a memorable impression. What you do really make sense and comes across as more practical. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Doctor! A very interesting topic. I remember an elderly neighbor recalling her childhood memory of a "Fireless Cooker", used by her mother in the summer to limit the number of days she had to fire the stove to cook. On cooking days, the six soapstone sides of the cooker were heated on the stove while making the meal for the day. An alternate meal was heated just as you have done in this video. That meal was placed in a special pan closed within the Fireless cooker for the next evening. At dinner time the next evening, the cooker revealed a piping hot entree, ready to eat. Just amazing.
Thank you!
I would've never imagined that you could cook meals in a thermos! This technique would be so helpful during emergencies. This year we lost power for four days and had I known about this, we would have been able to have some hot meals. Thank you once again for sharing your wonderful ideas with the RUclips community.
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful.
What are your alternate ways of bringing water to a boil when the grid is down?
Love this idea! Maybe cutting the carrots even smaller would help. They definitely take longer to cook until tender. Looking into the 3 quart cooker.
I’m very interested in thermal cooking. I recently invested in a Saratoga Jack thermal cooker that has a 7.5 liter inner pot and a smaller pot that nests inside. You can heat your food on the stove in the pot and then place the entire pot and lid into the thermal unit and clamp it closed.
I might get one of the 3 Qt. Stanley units for smaller quantities.
Thanks for the demo! More thermal cooking recipes would be great.
Sounds like the same principal. I will have to investigate that cooker! Thanks.
Miz, you can make your own insulated container for the pot of food you heated on the stove, over a campfire, etc. Google: Haybox Cooking for more information on the concept. There are plans available to make boxes. Google: Wonderbox DIY for making these from fabric and pillow stuffing, for example.
@@oldtimerlee8820 Thank you! I’ve researched all manner of thermal cooking, including Haybox plans. It’s fascinating! I collect vintage homemaking books and became interested in “fireless cookers” years ago. I got the Saratoga Jack because it’s so portable and you can stack the two pots in the insulated carrier. It is less expensive to make your own with materials at hand, for sure 😊
I just found this video a month or two ago, I bought the stanley thermos and then got sick. Long story short, I made the beef stew (my own recipe) today and it came out great! Thanks for the info and now I will start trying all kinds of my recipes in this. Thanks again for all your sharing of information and ideas they help.
How interesting. I never thought about Thermos cooking but now you have opened a whole new world to me. Thank you so much.
My pleasure 😊! Thanks for watching.
Love the video, it's given my wife and I great ideas for having dinners ready when we go trout fishing and don't want to waste much time prepping our lunch or dinner. What a find on the stanley 3 quart crock, and its's reasonably price. A must have. Thanks again!!
You are welcome! And you have a great way to use this method. I agree about the Stanley 3-quart thermos. I was thrilled to find it.
Wow! What a revelation! You two always amaze!
Thank you. We love to share our ideas.
So I have done this for years. I have a suggestion for you. A canning funnel is a little too big for the mouth of the thermos. But if you carefully heat one up you can shrink it down. The other thing that I have done is cut the top off of a milk jug and use it. The only problem is that if you are doing multiple thermoses it starts to get soft. Give it a try. See if it works for you . Great video! Going to poke around some more
Excellent post! Thanks so much. I just ordered a Stanley 3 quart. I can think of so many applications that will work for me.
I used to do this decades ago, especially when on a long road trip. Thanks for reminding me and also some great tips that will make this even easier!
Glad it was helpful!
What a novel idea! I would have never guessed that you could cook these delicious meals in a thermos! Thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome!
This will be a fantastic way for us to eat as we travel with our overland vehicle. I can put the ingredients together in AM, and then when we stop for lunch we'll have a hearty hot meal. Who would have thought! Thank You
Absolutely you can! Great way to use this method.
I've watched three of your thermal meal videos, and I wouldn't be upset if you decided to do more of these now and again! I finally bit the bullet and ordered the Stanley camp pot today. Thanks for the incentive!
Brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us. ⚘
My pleasure 😊! Thanks for watching.
I just loved your thermos how you cook stuff in them I would have never thought of that but I need to buy me the bigger pot and the big thermos jug God bless you thank you so much I really enjoy these videos love you guys take care God bless you
WOW, I would Never have thought to use a Thermos to cook or even just heat up food!!! How ingenious you are!!! Loved this video and the new learning I gained from watching!!! Thank you SO much!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Great idea! I never thought of that. Thanks again! I just appreciate your channel...
You are so welcome! Glad you join us on our adventures!
Yeti, 1 gallon thermos has a nice large mouth and may work great. So glad to have found this instructional video! Just what I needed to try this method of cooking.
Glad I kept my two big thermoses. They have some cute little personal crock pots they sell now. They look to be the size of your stainless one. Similar idea. Love the concept. Used to work long shifts as a nurse in peoples homes. This would’ve been great back then.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent! Tfs! Please stay safe and sending hugs to you both 💜🙏🤗
Thank you for taking the time to share this wonderful video!! 💚😊💚😊
You are so welcome!
You seem to be incredibly self sufficient. Loved the video.
Great ideas and love the big wide thermos. Was not aware they made one that size. I have a small version of it. Will be looking for this one lol. Thanks for sharing
You are welcome. I got that big one on Amazon.
I never knew we could do this thank u so very much this is awesome 🤩👍
You are seriously brilliant!
That is kind of you...thank you.
I love this! What a fabulous idea in this day and age when we should be conserving energy. I believe I saw some guys do something similar while living on a Narrowboat in the UK. They didn’t give nearly as good an explanation as you do, Dr. Pam!
Thank you. I really love this way as well. And with the thermos options available today, it makes it very easy.
I love learning and you make the experience so interesting. My brain needs that type of stimulation.I certainly am looking forward to use those techniques and methods of cooking and preserving. I also plan to do some dehydrating. I only wish I had known more earlier in my life.
I have been watching your videos and I felt your excitement from the results of all your work testing the iPot. As a result, I have now used my Instant pot Max to can beans and carrots and tomorrow is chicken. It also stimulated me to read more on the topic of temperature, botulism and length of time needed to kill the botulism spores etc... as well as reading as much as I can on canning safely.
Learning new skills, survival, using common sense, research, experimenting, discovering, staying healthy, being prepared, enjoying what you do, it is all so satisfying. Thank you.
At this point in my life, I am just grateful that I am still capable of learning new things! Thanks for your comments.
It was such fun and useful to learn about thermos cooking. Thank you.
We have taken that video down because I put bacon in with the beans and that is a no-no! It was our very first video. We have remade it and it will be up again shortly. The taco soup is 1 qt beans, one pint of corn with liquid, 2 cans tomatoes (or 1 quart), 1 pint canned ground beef, 2 T. taco seasoning. Dump everything together, heat, and eat!
OH Yum!! This looks so easy, thank you for sharing. Taking soup to work is always nice instead of a just a cold sandwich.
It really is! Thanks for watching.
Looking forward to trying this out! Thank you for your great instruction!
You are welcome.
I always learn from your videos. Thank you!
You are very welcome!
Fantastic! I have a couple of old Stanley thermoses that I retired some time ago. It is time to pull one out of retirement so I can attempt one of your recipes. Sounds fun! I'm always ready for an adventure.
Sounds great! Thanks for watching.
This really grabbed my attention. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
WOW you are so helpful will be trying this....Cheers from Pennsylvania Blessings 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
An eye opener! Wonderful cooking method, that I never knew about. It could save your life in an emergency. A good home cooked meal would fill your tummy and warm your soul! Thanks for another great video!!
Our pleasure! That is exactly how I feel about this method. It is a great method for emergency situations.
Judy make sure you have an alternative, if you have an electric stove, to boil water if the grid is down for some reason. Multiple ways, even better, so you can choose what's best for the situation. For example, a campstove and a charcoal/propane grill. A Dakota stove (google term) and a wood stove. One of those already mentioned and Sterno stove or chafing fuel (Fondue pot for example).
@@oldtimerlee8820 Great Tip! It's all to easy to overlook an alternative heat source if the power out! I have a butane stove & Sterno. Thanks for the tips!
@@judyshema6191 You are welcome. Glad I could be of help to someone. Have a great day!
Great Info! Always good to have multiple options. I use a double walled SS coffee press and I boil water - pour in let sit a couple minutes then re- boil that same water (add coffee into heated container) then pour re boiled water back in. cover/strain. This may work when scarce water. Happy New Year!
Great tip! Thanks for sharing.
I have an old stanley in my basement..going to dig it out now and clean it up....ty for this
You are welcome.
Wow, never would have thought you could cook in Thermos. Very interesting!! All dishes look so yummy 😋!! Thanks for sharing!! Take care and God Bless!!!
❤️✝️✝️✝️❤️
My pleasure 😊
Thank you. I had researched some thermos cooking and then kinda forgot about it. I'll have to experiment with it now.
It is really fun--I think you will enjoy it.
What a great video. The recipes look great too. Thank you. God Bless, stay safe.
Thank you! You too!
I added a comment on one of your other videos suggesting just such a show. I didn’t realize you had already done one! Excellent. As a single man I ‘cook’ this way almost daily. I is really easy and tasty. I make use of dehydrated vegetables and meats. I have yet to attempt raw meat. It feels much safer to use dehydrated foods. Love your shows!
That was a really informative video and thank you for patiently explaining so many things. I was wondering if school lunches or overnight breakfasts could be 'cooked' in a thermos, that would be really helpful, especially if kids want to eat a warm meal at school. Thanks again!
Great video, It is very informative!
I bought the 3qt Stanley thermos for our road trip to Yellowstone. It worked really well, my only problem was that I didn’t preheat it long enough a few times. It was nice to have a hot meal for our lunches.
Great concept Pam! Here in California with the issue of power shutdowns, these ideas would be helpful. We keep additional propane tanks, both large and small around just in case. I need to keep my eyes out for a large thermos pot. Could you work on a couple more recipes and explain your oatmeal cooking? Thanks so much! Here's to a happy new year.
That is another great use for this cooking method. The oatmeal is very easy. I put 1/2 cup steel cut oats (Bob's Red Mill 7-minute) and i cup boiling water. Then I drop in a handful of craisins. Thanks for your comments.
Great review. We grew up in the simmers pouring boiling water over husked corn in a cooler for family reunions. I also now use a kangaroo jack thermal cooker. Especially live it when we travel Cindy Miller has a good thermal cooking book and online info
Your posts are the best!!!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
That was a really good video 👍🏽
Thanks for another great video good job, n so glad you got off that island 🏝
Thanks for watching!
@@RoseRedHomestead r u kidding iv learned so much from you so think you!
nice video, thanks for making it!
Great Video!., I would love to have seen a thermometer reading when both thermoses were opened!! You could definitely tell both soups were hot once opened.
We are going to do a video on that exact testing on the large Stanley shown in this video.
Thank you , enjoyed the informative video
Very cool ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like them!
I’ve just purchased a thermo cooker but NEVER would I imagined you could cook in a Thermos flask! Same principle. Wow.
Stanley is the best thermos on the market and has been as long as I can remember. I remember drinking coffee like the next day out of a thermos and it was still hot.
Marcia: Yes, I have heard that too. Jim
Wow Great video, and Really Good to know.. we are getting a Wonderbag and this is also a good idea if Needed in Emergency 🚨 and can do on our camps too,
Yes, you are right. You could put that 3 quart thermos inside a wonder bag for extra insulation! Great comment!
Great ideas!
Thank you! 😊
Lots of applications thank you
You are welcome!
Working back through your videos and I found this very interesting. I'm not sure if the technique is known over there in America, but here in the UK an old war time way of cooking is "hay box cooking". What you've shown here is like an undated version of that. I've never thought of using something like that. I've only ever seen an old cool box being used. So I may give this a go at some point. It also reminds me of a product I seen on shopping tv which I think was called the "wunder cooker". Looks very similar to the large one you used here but came with a zip up jacket to put around it. Expensive but you've presented a far more affordable way. Thank you.
Yes, the hay box cooking goes by several names over here. Wonder bag is one. We have a couple of videos on that. Thanks.
Awesome Ideal... Will be great for traveling too..
Yes, definitely. Thanks for watching.
wow such a great idea. I have one of the tall Stanleys that you made the soup in, but i am loving the wide mouth one. I have never seen one of them before. I best go look. Thanks so much Pam and Jim, your videos are always so great.
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
Absolutely brilliant, thank you ❤🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this idea!
Glad you like it! Thanks.
That is awesome! I would have know this was possible.
It is! Thanks for watching.
I enjoyed this video very much. I wonder if dehydrated veggies would work in the stew as well as the soup. I will try both. I would never have thought of this method. Thank you. Brilliant!!
Thank you. Yes, dehydrated veggies would work--I have done that before.
Thank you for this! I’d also love to learn about making yogurt and would trust your process - including making it in a thermos.
You are welcome. Here is the link to our video on making yogurt: ruclips.net/video/zrJolOcpi5A/видео.html
@@RoseRedHomesteadWonderful! Many thanks ♥️
Very clever! 👏👏👏🌻🌻
Thank you! 😊
That pot is amazing
What a great idea, I am not a camper. I had never heard of this before! Gave me all kinds of ideas on how to use all the dehydrated veggies I am preserving! I have the 2 quart Stanley thermos, very old but going strong. The 3 quart one looked intriguing. May have to splurge on that one! Also all the powders we are now preserving would go nicely into these recipes! Like broth powder etc. Potato powder could thicken a stew, couldn't it?
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching our channel.
Rose, you should really try the Zojirushi Thermos. I have kept coffee hot from 4PM until 6 AM, and it was scalding, I had to leave the line open so I could drink from it. I kid you not, these are the best I've ever found and they are sold on Amazon. Thank you for your video.
I just checked them out on Amazon and they do look good. Thanks for the tip.
amazing video 👍 Blessings 🥰
Thank you! You too!
Just had to watch again
Gonna try tomorrow in my Stanley camp crock!!
Excellent!
What a great idea!
Glad you think so!
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
This is a great Thermo. I have a small one that I do my oatmeal at work
I got my new addition "ThermoJug"
Thanks for this idea
Most welcome 😊
You are so amazing!
Wow, thank you!
I had a rubber baster bulb from a plastic baster I cut it in half it had a seam it makes a great funnel for items.
Fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing.
-This is enough for a small family.... me - I would eat that in one sitting.
Bought a Stanley thermos. Will be cooking my oatmeal this way all this winter to save on fuel. Thank you.
So cool!
Amazing ♥️♥️
Thanks.
Do you have a video on your process for making yogurt in the Rubbermaid container? I'd love to see that! I currently use my IP to make yogurt, but am always looking for non-electrical options and this seems like the right one. Thanks for all you do to educate us!
How clever!
Thanks!
Cheers!
A+ for Woman With A Gadget! thanks
This is interesting. I was only looking for thermos cooking because I read about it some time ago under a van-life video, and it sounded ideal for my own camper van. Watched a few other videos about it from French, German, and (one) Italian youtubers.
Now I've watched 4 American videos in a row, and in every single one, they talked about "when the grid is off", and they didn't look like preppers preparing for WW3. I find this really fascinating. I've heard about what happened in Texas not long ago, and I've read about warnings of "rolling blackouts" but does this happen so often in the states that it is even a concern?
