I can't get my hands on anything remotely resembling a vacuum pot where I live, not even online.Realistically, how feasible is to weld two containers together and suck the air out of between them so I can cook meals for virtually free?I already use a food thermos to passively cook pasta, rice, noodles, but something like the stanley pot would allow for bigger meals like stews.
>>2969795Realistically you will build a cooking box. Vacuum - or low pressure air really - isn't the only imsulator there is.
>>2969800InterdestingI wonder what material would keep cooking temperatures for at least two hours
>>2969806Insulation. Straw. Anon, this is very, very old tech people have been using for many, many years. All you need to do is take one pot, find another that fits inside it with room and fill in the gap with anything with high insular properties.
>>2969810Like imitation crab meat?(I have to much!)
please elaborate on this, you put your food under a vacuum? and it makes it cook with less heat? even like a big stew?
>>2969812Idea is you get your food going in a pot to boiling, then add it to the cooker where it continues to cook without adding heat because it's insulated. Sort of like how you put your piping hot coffee or tea into a good thermos and it's still piping hot hours later, but with food.
>>2969813Rather than cooking in a pot then transferring it to an insulated pot which is essentially a giant thermos, just make an insulated box. Cook the food in the pot, then put the pot in the insulated box. Much simpler and half the cleanup required.
>>2969820This, plus you're not wasting heat transferring the food to another container and having to heat that container up as well...
>>2969820Agree, but anon was asking about the idea of a cooking pot. You can buy them here in the states in vintage/thrift shops.
>>2969813oooooooooooooh i see, you cook it normally then transfer to thermos. should be very easy to make your own>>2969795>how feasible is to weld two containers together and suck the air out of between themi get you now, yeah, totally. you may find your weld has pin-hole leaks, so it might be better to tack it then use some adhesive, i'm a big fan of pink grip, that's what it's called in the uk anyways, dunno what it is. but it's good stuff, sets hard and adheres to everything.
>>2969795old style pressure cooker.VIOLA! vacuum pot.
>>2969837You don't cook it normally. You just bring it to a boil, then transfer it. It saves energy by no longer having to heat the pot to keep it at boiling.
>think cause cee buble fud saf>no get how anusrobic bakteareeah livenjoy botulism dumbshit
>>2969795You can't cook in those stanley pots, I've tried it. I tried to cook some rice in it, even preheated it twice with boiling water before pouring in the rice, and even after 8 hours it never even cooked. What you want is one of those lunch box electric hot pots.
>>2969865This doesn't work on the large bowls. Maybe the smaller thermos you could get away with it.
