The Fireless Cooker That Feeds

Cooking when/where energy is scarce. Very useful to save on fuel while camping, for example. Also, I suppose, next time the electric grid is down and you want to cook on battery.

Little nitpick: the title is "The Fireless Cooker that Feeds Low-tech Magazine", as in "this is the fireless cooker we use".

And this is why the instant pot is such a good value. It's very insulated and incredibly efficient

As well as easy-to-use, safe and consistent

It's a very large teapot cosy, in other words. Seems reasonable, though obviously you still need some way to bring the pot up to temp (for that cast iron, induction would be efficient if not low-tech).

There's a few commercial versions of this idea that combine some sort of insulation with a vacuum container, which increases the efficiency.
