Hasta La Ideas

Well, it is not a pressure cooker, even though one might think so at first. But it is a clever system that helps cooking and saves energy at the same time. Here is how it works. You bring your vegetables, stew or whatever you want to prepare to a boil with the lid on. After that you reduce the heat to the lowest and let the pot sit for a couple of minutes. Then you put the pot into the insulating heat-retaining bowl where the food cooks using the heat already built up in the pot. The bowl can keep the food warm up to 2 hours, saving the energy that would have been spent keeping the pot simmering. It is called Hotpan and it comes from Swiss Kuhn Rikon.brbr
