I wish I saw this sooner. I've been thinking of doing the same thing wondering if it would work. I cook a lot of dry beans and simmering them on the stove is energy waste and it's hot here. Yesterday I received my Amazon order of a 1 liter, 18 oz, and 12 oz Stanley cups (3 quart will arrive Friday for big meals) and will try bean and whole grain cooking in different sizes. Now I know it's going to work. Even if it needs reheating, like you did to add things, it's still an energy saving idea. Thank you. 🙏🏼👍🏼
I love this video - incredible fuel savings. People have these beans stored away and I always think, “How are they going to cook that?” Truly, cooking beans takes forever and the fuel cost is enormous.
Tried it, it works...makes a great stew. Used a third of a spam single, potato, onion, celery and a beef bullion cube. I poured off the first water, added the extras, then added fresh water to boil 5 minutes. Next, I'll dehydrating the potatoes, onion and celery. Thanks for the video.
Been watching a few thermos cooking videos but never realized you did one til it come up in the recommendations. Most people lay the thermos on its side. I recently gave away an unused dishwashing brush to my sister because "I'll never use it" to see a video showing the exact type of brush being what you use to clean out a thermos.... oh well. Go get another one.
Unfortunately I think I'm too kazy for all the processes here. I'll try soaking overnight followed by an initial boil then thermos cooking all day. I'll see if that does anything. Hell I will probably just end up going for ramen noodles....
cool info man. what type of thermos is that? is it made for only cooking? By the way, I want to correct you on something, it was 10 minutes of boiling time not fuel (probably 15 minutes?) however it takes 15 minutes of pressure in a pressure cooker (average 20-25 minutes of fuel) that is very impressive.
This is a food jar thermos. It differs from a standard thermos in that it has a wider opening. A standard thermos with a smaller opening will have better heat retention but the food jar is easier to fill, remove the food and clean.
I'm surprised actually 'cooming in a thermos' does not seem to have been explored much. I'm looking for recipes that I can use to prepare my lunch in the morning and have 5 hours later, perfectly cooked. Pasta is out of the question, sous pearl barley and rice. I'm not giving up though!
Agreed. I was looking for something along the lines of other videos I've seen, how to add things to thermos and let them cook themselves until I need it, while hiking.
***** It's a fact. So saving fuel cooking your beans, especially in a fuel critical situation, will make you feel better since uncooked beans are real tough to eat and being hungry defiantly is not a *good* feeling.

I forgot. If you soak the beans for 8 hours or over night, once the skin on the beans break, they cook much faster.
There's no limit to the ways one can prepare and cook beans. A little creativity goes a long way.
Pre-heating is a must. Great video.

Yes it was way more complicated than anything I've done or watched on videos, usually to do while camping or hiking.
Looks like a hearty and tasty meal, Jeremy.

Meal on the go, made easy, always needed when your in the field.
It's also more "tactically sound" when cooking in the field while avoiding discovery by undesirables.
Not really cooking in a thermos....

mmmm 16 beans and ham.. mmmmm
I would have added celery and carrots too and even parboil rice!
I ran out of room in the thermos for anything else!
Beans are a musical fruit.
The more you fart, the better you feel,
so eat your beans at very meal.

Defiantly?
Soaking gets rid of lectins.
nice
Watch this how chickpeas got done

Waaay too much cooking on the stove. Thermos "cooking" should not involve the stove.
Lisa R., I have an electric kettle to heat the water.
Right 😅
I agree, that's my experience too. Super easy and simple, cooking INSIDE the thermos.
