Its like a slowcooker that doesn't use any power or a homemade thermos.

Boil up your stew, beans, rice pudding, whatever in a heavy lidded casserole dish.
Find a solid box, pack the bottom with  hay, straw, shredded paper whathaveyou,
Put the hot pan in the box and pack around with more insulating material.
Put the lid on the box and walk away for a few hours. 

The pan carries on cooking using its own heat.
Plenty of Youtube stuff on how to make one.

That is so cool Veggie - I'll try that sometime! That would be such a cool thing to whip out at a barbeque lol

I'm coming back to this because I made some oat and sultana cookies today for son number 1....special request.
They recipe uses tinned condensed milk so that had to go on the shopping list last night. I used to use quite a few tins of this. Love home made fudge too!
