Recipe for Change Grouped Project
This Recipe for Change Grouped Project consists of the adoption of the Wonderbag heat-retention cooking devices in kitchens throughout the Republic of South Africa. The Grouped Project will comprise various Project Activity Instances. The Wonderbags allow for slow-cooking of nutritious meals in an easy, safe and energy efficient manner. Wonderbags have health, social and environmental and climate benefits associated with reduced fuel consumption for cooking purposes. In particular, women and girls in South Africa are disproportionately burdened with the unpaid labour of collecting fuels and for the cooking of meals. Wonderbags save time, money and fuel when cooking, providing for the opportunity to use these resources in more productive ways such as pursuing education and employment opportunities. Technology description: The Wonderbag is a thermally insulated material bag that is used to cook food in an energy efficient, safe manner. The bags are made from a combination of repurposed insulation foam, recycled polyester, poly-cotton and polystyrene materials. The bags comprise a base which holds the pot of food, which is topped by a cushion-lid. The base and lid are drawn tightly together using a drawstring in the base, which is used to ensure that the pot is snuggly insulated. The process of cooking using a Wonderbag is initiated by bringing a pot of food to the boil using conventional cooking methods and fuels. The heated cooking pot is then transferred to and sealed in the Wonderbag where it continues to simmer and cook the food. Once the pot is inside the bag, the stove is no longer used to cook the dish. After some time in the bag, the dish is ready to eat.
