How to Use
The Fireless Cooker works by retaining the heat energy built up during a short initial boil, allowing your food to continue cooking without any additional fuel — saving you up to 88% energy.
Steps
- Prepare your food as usual (e.g. soak beans, ndengu, or wash rice).
- Bring the food to a boil in your sufuria on any fire source.
- Line the bottom of the fireless cooker with an old blanket, sweater, or towel to protect the filler material, then transfer the covered sufuria inside.
- Close the fireless cooker and leave for the recommended time — no more tending required.
Tips for Best Results
- Use a pan that is at least three-quarters full to minimise air space.
- Always use a well-fitting lid on your sufuria.
- For grains like maize and beans, ensure water sits above the food.
- Do not open the cooker before the recommended cooking time is up.
- Do not leave food inside for more than 8 hours, as the temperature will drop below the safe threshold of 49°C.
Cooking Times
Cooking times vary by food type. For example: rice requires just 5 minutes simmering and 30 minutes fireless time, while dry beans need 30 minutes simmering and 3 hours fireless time. On average, the fireless cooker saves 50% of energy compared to conventional cooking.
