Everything You Need to Know About Thermal Cooking

What is Thermal Cooking?

Thermal cooking is known by various names, including retained heat cooking, insulated cooking, thermos cooking, and fireless cooking, among others, which are often used interchangeably.

The method involves retaining or trapping heat with an insulator that decelerates the cooling process. An effective insulator maintains the pot's high temperature and significantly reduces heat loss.

This unique and energy-efficient cooking technique utilizes the heat retained to cook a range of dishes. It starts with heating the food in a pot on a standard heat source until it boils. Then, the boiling food is quickly moved to an insulated container, such as a thermal cooker. The essence of thermal cooking is in the residual heat contained within, which continues to cook the food gradually and uniformly, without the need for further energy.

Thermal cooking is particularly beneficial for dishes that require long cooking times, such as stews, soups, rice, and even unconventional items like bread and cupcakes. Thermal cooking not only conserves energy but also preserves the essential nutrients, flavors, and moisture in the food, leading to more delicious and nutritious meals. Moreover, it provides the convenience of not needing constant supervision, making it perfect for busy individuals or those aiming to reduce their kitchen's carbon footprint. In a time when sustainability and efficient cooking practices are increasingly important, thermal cooking emerges as an eco-friendly and effective culinary technique.

I pre-ordered this book and when I got it I LOVED it so much I couldn't put it down. If you like the idea of cooking with very little energy used, this book is one you have to get! It's put together beautifully, user friendly and easily understood. The recipes are fantastic. I've been to 2 classes taught by the author, Cindy Miller, and tasted the recipes she fine tuned to use with a thermal cooker and they were WONDERFUL! I love the idea of putting recipes together in jars or bags to use for future times when life is always busy. The writing in the book feels like she's next to me in the kitchen helping me cook. Very Well done Cindy!!!!.

And not surprisingly, I still refer to this great little book which started it all for me. After all these years, few cookbooks exist on the subject & no other thermal cooker book even comes close.

No buyer's remorse here. Investing in this book & my (first) cooker was good for my time management, good for our tummies & good for the planet.
