The Smart Cooker is a super-smart way to save electricity when cooking. And the best thing about it: it costs nothing! How it works? If you wrap your hot pot in blankets, the pot stays hot and slowly cooks your food.

Bring a pot with food to the boil on your stove or on a fire. It is important that the pot is full.
Meat: 20 minutes
Chicken on the bone: 15 minutes
Vegetables: 5 minutes
Rice (white or brown): 2 minutes on stove
Beans or samp: 20 minutes
Important that you do not burn the plastic.
Put the hot pot with a lid in the tub.
Wrap the pot very tightly with the blankets/towels/pillows.
Caution: do not put the hot pot directly in the plastic tub. It might melt.
The pot stays hot for many hours in the blankets and cooks your food without any electricity at all.
Meat: 3 hours in blankets
Chicken on the bone: 2-3 hours in blankets
Vegetables: 1 hour in blankets
Rice (white or brown): 1 hour in blankets
Beans or samp 20 minutes: 3-4 hours in blankets
Do not open the pot during the time because then it stops cooking. You do not need to stir - it cannot burn. There is no problem if your food stays wrapped up like this all day. For example, you can prepare everything in the morning, wrap the hot pot and when you come back in the afternoon the food is ready.
