What problem is this trying to solve exactly
- aspyct 5y agoCooking when/where energy is scarce. Very useful to save on fuel while camping, for example. Also, I suppose, next time the electric grid is down and you want to cook on battery.
- tenuousemphasis 5y agoAnother benefit is that it reduces the heat transferred to the living environment during cooking. Might be useful in a small living space like an RV or tiny house.
- RandallBrown 5y agoIt technically just prolongs the amount of time that the heat is transferred right? That would still be useful if you're in a small space and the heat loss of the space is greater than the heat loss of the insulated pot.
- tenuousemphasis 5y agoYes, you're right. It slows the rate of heat transfer.
- aspyct 5y agolol, clearly we're not living in the same climate :D
- oh_sigh 5y agoA lot of people out in the country don't actually have a gas line to their house, and cook using bottled gas. I lived in a situation like that at one point - the cost of the gas saved by the device wasn't really important to me, but it was the burden of making a half day trip to the city to replace the bottle that pushed me to conserve gas.
