So, I've been building up (making) the small oil burner jars to use if the electricity goes out.
But also, I'm developing a cooking system based on using 5 x 2 cup insulated food flasks.
And then all I need is, to boil water and add it to the food in the flasks in the morning.
1 flask is for my coffee for the day.
1 flask is for soup or soupy stew for lunch.
1 flask is for rice for lunch. The rice has to be boiled for 5 mins beforehand, though.
1 flask is for dessert at night. This is going
to be creamy rice or steamed pudding.
1 flask is a spare to make it easy for preparing the night before and washing-up.
Boiling water and rice may be possible with the small oil burner jars. I will have to wait and see.
Breakfast is just -
Hot chocolate in a normal cup.
Oats, shredded coconut, powdered milk, sultanas and a piece of banana with hot boiled water.
That's my State of Play at the moment.
Take care, everyone.
