Stew in a quilt.

That's right. Stew in a quilt. This is the diy version of thermal cooking but without an expensive thermal cooker. Get your stew prepared and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes. Then wrap up pan in blankets and an old quilt. The stew should be cooked in about 7 hours. :beer:

Time? No more time than prepping any casserole, surely, then either sticking it in the slow cooker or low oven.

It's a good method for rice pudding too btw, or overnight porridge for breakfast.

The time it takes to find suitable old blankets, quilts and then wrap the pot up and then find somewhere to store it while it cooks. The time and expense it then takes to wash said items afterwards. Sorry, but prepping a slow cooker is a darn site quicker and probably more cost efficient than this method!

EDIT, i'd love to see a picture of someone doing it though!
