I will try using this technique next time I make carbonara. Carbonara is simple: cook bacon, reserve grease, pour in hot pasta + cheese + milk + egg. If I'm on the ball, I can cook and crumble the bacon a day in advance, but then the f

I think the coolest thing about this concept (for me) is viewing it as a "whole-system" energy storage procedure. It is effectively 100% renewable, 100% distributable, using 100% commodities (ie: rocks in a hole). As a thought exp
