You should get a wide mouth thermos. After watching your videos I found one on amazon for $36 and bought it. Its called Thermos Nissan 48-Ounce Wide Mouth. I think the wide mouth would make it easier for cooking in.
@thayne559 it would have definately been easier to get the syew out of the thermos. so far the stew is the only thing that would have been better in a wide mouth.
Great videos. The only suggestion I have is that next time, don't dump your preheat water down the drain, u could use it to wash your hands since it's warm, or let it cool and give it to the dogs or water a plant with it. what energy you saved cooking, you poured down the drain as warm water. Water AND energy conservation!! Luv Mom :)
@TheHomesteadGal a book? it would be a short book. its been fun playing around with the thermos cooking. the onlty one i can see myself doing often is the stew.i got an amazing story about stanley thermos. ill tell you about it on the " what did you do to prep last week"
enough stew for two people or one fat guy. lol. Brad, whats the reason for putting the hot water in the thermos before ? is it like "pre-heating the oven?" good video.
@calitrucker1 i really ate it all to. yes its like pre heating the ove. if you dont,when you pour in the boiling water,the thermos absorbs and loses to much heta for the initial warm up. i just pour hot tap water in there then dumo it when im ready to put in the good stuff. thermos oven,,,,,thermoven?
Ya but I'd buy one again even at this price because of how useful it would be in a shtf situation. In a no utilities situation, the ability to cook a stew or beans with just 5 or 6 minutes of propane or gasoline. That's just too useful for me to say no to.
Still if you get a good cooking pot you can buy those slabs of Styrofoam at a home center and layer them up and glue them together then cut out hole that's shaped like your pot. Then cut a few more for the top and put it in a box.
@vention4wh im definately gonna keep watching ebay. the thermos bottle did its job but getting the food to come out was a little diffacult. oh! heres something cool. in one vid i did a side by side comparison with a stanley and my nissan thermos. the stanley failed miserably. i sent a link to the vid to stanley and they pm,ed me wanting my address. this morning they said they are mailing me a brand new 2 quart thermos and want me to do the vid again. cooooool!!!!!! they said 2-3 weeks
I found I can cook alot of my things in the oven with about 2/3rds of the actual cooking time if I just shut it off and leave it. Most the time I use the roaster and cook multiple meals but I like this idea means I would have to get a good thermos but looks worth the cost
@SasyBecause hi! thanks for your input. ive really begun to explore the different ways i can cut my electricity consumption. im only turning my water heater on for about an hour a day. that gives me all the hot water i need for the whole day.ive shut my central air off and im using a window unit in the room mywife and i use the most. weve mangaed to cut our killawatt hour usage by more than half.now im experimenting with ways to cut back on cooking expenses since that is 3rd or 4rth on the list.
@bctruck The roaster we got was about 30 bucks and I can cook about 3 weeks worth of meats in it disposable trays ARE YOUR FRIEND. If the meat is cooked meals can be made fast. I have a couple vids about that
@SasyBecause well as a mater of fact i was just checking out your channel. i cant believe our paths havent crossed before. we run in the same youtube circles. im bone tired and fixing to hit the hay. tomorrow im gonna look for those vids of yours. thanks. Brad
@lunarrn i can barely find the light switch in the kitchen but next time i make the stew ill try adding flour or cornstarch. it would be nice to have the broth thicker.

Next time, coat your meat w/ flour, brown and then add. It will help thicken the stew and add a nice flavor w/ the seared meat.

Just a tip, but I saw on another video that if you lay the thermos on it's side, it will cook more efficient and evenly.

Great Job!
If you brown the meat in the pan before adding your other stew ingredients, it adds additional flavor to the stew. I've done it both ways. though.
Thanks for the video response.

It's sort of a haybox cooker and it's just as good as an expensive thermo-cooker but it's not as compact.
Anyway I'm kind of lucky. It was only 89 bucks when I bought mine.
