Hot Box
Hot Box is an insulated bag in which anything can be cooked, from delicious stews and curries to simple rice and soups. You boil your pot of food on the stove, or on the sun stove, starting the cooking process, and then place it in the Hot Box.
Hot Box's clever insulating properties allow food that has been brought to the boil to finish cooking while in the bag without the use of additional energy. So, families can cook appetizing hot meals, while saving energy - and money.
With hot box, one can cook a meal and leave it in the hot box for up to 12 hours.
Workers can prepare their dinner in the morning and come home to a warm meal. There is no threat of burning at all! You can also use your hot box as a cooler bag - drinks will stay cold.
