PICI E CASTAGNE

Io compro un monte di cose, e come mi disse un amico una volta, tra le tante sciocchezze che compri qualcosa di buono ci capita per forza prima o poi.

Ecco, la Wonderbag è una delle cose buone.

E’ chiaro che nessuno mi paga per parlare di certe cose, è solo un modo per condividere…

Non ricordo più neanche io come l’ ho scovata, ricordo però bene la storia che ci sta dietro:

“Sarah Collins, Wonderbag founder, grew up on the East Coast of South Africa. Her background is in social development with a huge passion for the environment and conservation. Having spent 10 years in community-based tourism in the Okavango Delta, Botswana, she returned to South Africa in the early 2000s. She realised that poverty alleviation projects were the key to grassroots conservation in Africa. Spending 5 years with the NGO, LoveLife, Sarah implemented an environmental youth leadership programme named Take Back the Future.

Then in 2008, South Africa suffered a series of power cuts. Sarah, frustrated with her half-cooked dinners, remembered how her grandma had surrounded her pans with cushions to keep them cooking after she turned the stove off. So she tried it… and it worked!

Sarah’s thoughts turned to the millions of families in developing countries that cook by burning kerosene, paraffin or wood. These stoves and fires aren’t just polluting, they make entire homes too smoky to breathe in, cause house fires, burn children, swallow wage packets and cause serious illnesses.

“From that night on I knew this was it,” says Sarah. “I became obsessed.”

A good friend of Sarah’s, Moshy Mathe, sewed up the prototype Wonderbag. Amazingly, when tested in labs, food that was heated to boiling point for just a few minutes on the stove  the bag, carried on cooking and remained hot for up to 12 hours.

Since 2008, the Wonderbag has been Sarah’s passion and purpose. It has taken 5 years of trial, error and dogged determination to get the Wonderbag to where it is now.”

Ecco, quindi la Wonderbag permette di cuocere a fuoco lento senza fuoco praticamente.

Io la prima volta l’ ho provata cucinando questo pollo qui con salsiccia e patate.

Ho fatto rosolare ben bene la pelle del pollo nel tegame così come le patate prima di trasferirlo nella Wonderbag.

L’ ho fatto la sera, l’ ho lasciato nella Wonderbag tutta la notte per quanto non fossero necessarie così tante ore, ma al mattino il tegame era ancora caldo e la pietanza tiepida.

Secondo me “la morte sua” è con gli spezzatini, le minestre e cose similari.

Nel caso ve lo stiate domandando, la Wonderbag è di stoffa ed imbottita di una cosa simile alla gommapiuma, so che si trova anche su Amazon e costa circa 50$.
