This is basically an insulated basket. Food is heated on a normal stove and cooked for part of the time needed. It is then transferred to a fireless cooker, the heat in the food continues the cooking, saving the fuel that would be needed for keeping on the fire. The basket acts as a ‘thermos’ which has freed women to be able to cook at a time suitable for them and to have the food available at the time their family need it. This gives much greater flexibility to a woman’s day, and many have commented on how it has reduced stress in the home and in marriages.
