KITCHEN AND COOKING TIPS Reduce Energy Used in Cooking Beans, Grains and Soups! Whether your stove is gas or electric, you're using more energy cooking beans, grains, soups and stews than you need to. Last year, Pat built what is (euphemistically, these days) called a "hay box." This is a super-insulated box, the inside of which is specially designed to hold your favorite stock pot snugly. In olden days, the box would be filled with hay, as insulation. These days, any number of materials can be used--from sleeping bags and styrofoam! For a pretty comprehensive article on hay boxes and other reduced-energy cooking options, read this article on the Lost Valley Educational Center website.
