Food Boiling Water From Kettle Cooking........................

[China Connection]

Um, had to express my prepping experiments from today.


On Monday of this week I bought a Stainless Steel Vacuum Food Flask more to store cooked food in. However I have read that one can add dry grain etc to what most would call a Thermos Insulated Food Jar.

I did a local shop to shop for a comparison of what was on offer. I had intended to buy a Thermos brand unit but I found a unit that had three times the water holding capacity at Bunnings a hardware shop. 1500 mil unit at about the same price of the Thermos unit

So today I added a cup of white rice and dry bean mix to the unit I bought and filled it up with boiling water from an electric kettle. I left it for about four hours then opened it and found it full of cooked food. The rice I would call over-cooked. The food was hot but not over hot for eating. I did shake the unit a couple of times during the four hours it was sitting on the counter.

If you wanted, you could use it to precook a grain / bean mix and reheat it when you wanted to eat it. Doing it this way you don't have to worry about it getting burnt on the bottom of a pot.

I take it the rice was still edible?

Yesterday afternoon I stuck on some Adzuki Beans and Pearl Barley and checked this morning after about 16 hours and found both cooked and still quite warm. I am really impressed on what I can do with just hot water.

Today I will try a sprouted Chicken mixed grain mix. It could give me more economy with feeding my Chickens.

This gets more interesting by the day.

Today I put three eggs into my 1500 mil unit and poured in the boiling water and left them for about four hours.

Here's the funny part. The eggs were hard boiled but not near as hard as normal. Yes the yokes were cooked through but not as hard as normal. The whites were a lot softer. This means more easy to digest.

I have cooked wheat berries in wide-mouthed insulated containers for years. Recently, I put more wheat and boiling water than usual in and screwed the top in. A couple hours later, my wife was startled by the noise made by the top flying off, stripping off the plastic threads. The plastic top was not strong enough to hold the gas pressure created by the expanding grains. Now I cook wheat berries in an insulated container made entirely of stainless steel. Also, the top is not airtight. No more surprises!

Thanks for the tip about hard-boiled eggs. Of late I have made them in our electric pressure cooker. 5 minutes cooking under pressure does the job, and the pressure seems to penetrate the shells and make the eggs easier to peel than other methods of cooking do.

Um, been trying where I precook for about 5 minutes then put into the Thermos. It works a treat.

I bought a Thermos brand food vacuum food flask today. Sepposed to keep the food hot for 14 hours. Also going tokeep it in a Yogurt maker isolated container to see if it retains the heat for longer.
