Almost zero energy
A low-tech object par excellence, the Norwegian kettle is currently enjoying a resurgence of interest, because it saves energy while making tasty recipes.
Although it is now being rediscovered under the names of thermos cooker, wonderbox, etc., the Norwegian kettle has – since the end of the 19th century – commonly been referred to as a box insulated with materials such as cork, wool, felt, hay or blankets, in which a dish that has been started on the fire will continue to cook… without fire. This ingenious process saves at least 50% of the energy used to cook the dishes.
Mireille Saimpaul has been interested in this subject since the early 2010s. This booklet is the fruit of her knowledge. A pioneering author, no other book on the subject exists to date.
This practical booklet explains all about the different types of Norwegian kettle, from simple wrapping in an old duvet to more “sophisticated” (but not complicated!) making. With sample recipes to get you started, and all the advice you need on how to use it safely (preparation methods, shelf life of cooked food, etc.).
In a few words, cooking with a Norwegian pot is :
- A cooking method that deserves to be (re)discovered: you start cooking in the traditional way, then switch to a Norwegian pot, and cooking continues slowly, without expending energy.
- All the explanations you need to make a Norwegian pot and cook your first dishes.
- Lots of practical advice and recipes to try out.
- A low-tech approach to saving energy, without sacrificing the flavour of your food.
