We've got another fantastic prize for Lets Get Energized subscribers this month!
Wonderbag is a simple but revolutionary, non-electric portable slow cooker.
It continues to cook food which has been brought to the boil by conventional methods for up to 8-12 hours without the use of additional electricity or fuel. It's said that "The Wonderbag Will Change The Way You Slow-Cook Forever".
It's simple: you can boil it, bag it, slow cook it, then share it! The Wonderbag is made from Polycottons inside and out, filled with polystyrene.
WONDERBAG How does it work vers2 from Heidi Otto on Vimeo.The Wonderbag was designed by Sarah Collins, an amazing woman who has devoted her entire life to searching for ways to empower people in rural Africa, especially women.
Inspired by the San people who bury food in the ground while they are cooking she says, "I thought to myself, 'This is the oldest technology in the world.'" Wonderbags were originally created for poor families in Africa, to cut down the amount of costly firewood they need for cooking. And for every Wonderbag purchased in North America today, one is donated to a family in need in Africa, and so drastically changes the life of the family who receives the bag and becomes a catalyst out of poverty.
Sarah's goal is to sell one hundred million Wonderbags worldwide, helping over a billion people. "It empowers consumers, by giving them innovative ways to be part of the solutions that the world is looking for."
Read the full story here >>The Wonderbag is an extremely well-insulated cooking bag that keeps anything - from meaty stews and vegetable curries to simple rice and soups - cooking for hours without using any power, saving time, money and reducing energy use.
It's clever insulating properties allow food that has been brought to the boil to finish cooking without extra heat. This greatly reduces the use of additional energy, and means you can cook appetising, hot meals while saving time, energy and money. It's ideal for home cooked hot dinners, camping, outdoor festivals and picnics.
