So much for a quiet Sunday at home after a huge week of festivities in Moura celebrating the Coal Festival.
We decide to wake up early and travel Two hours to Rockhampton to visit the Caravan and Camping show for any last minute goodies that we could find useful on our trip.
We walked and looked for hours with the kids who mind you were hot, sweaty and not happy that we were taking so long, and we came home with some Solar Panels, more led lighting and a dream Pot for me. Well it's actually called a Eco-Pot which works the same as the Dream pot. I looked a both stalls and demonstrations and in the end Eco-Pot sold me.
Will I use it I hope so because it cost $200!
The way it works is you start in the morning by preparing whatever it is you are having for dinner that evening. Lets say Rice and Apricot Chicken. You would bring the rice to boil and also the apricot chicken, pop both saucepans into the Thermo pot and by the time you are ready for dinner it will be cooked and ready to serve up.
Often when we are camping we go hiking or fishing and by the time we get back to camp it is usually Dark, cold and the kids are starving. I am hoping for days like these the Eco-Pot will be our saviour.
I was watching the Demo's at the show and they were also baking packet cake mixes, scones and bread rolls in the eco-pot. I imagined pulling up after a long days drive for afternoon tea and having a yummy cake ready to eat.
My cooking at home is somewhat simple but It looks like I had better start getting creative with my cooking if I am going to work this Eco-Pot.
Have you used one of these? I would love to hear your reviews good and not so good and I am desperately needing some recipes. The recipe book which came with the pot is not the type of food we would usually eat.
Will definitely be trying it out at home before we go! Check out the link eco-pot
