This is a good method, I first tried it accidentally when I was young in 1978, it worked. In 1989 ,I officially started using it because that time I could use my personal flask. This method works better when you first pour one cup of boiling beans into flask and return it back to the saucepan so as to raise the temperature of the flask. No need of soaking beans because they should absorb part of the water you are using. It work advantageous to people who have no time to sit down for hours cooking beans and wasting fuel.
Love it! Btw, 12 hour shifts are long, but I work 15 hr shifts, 4 days in a row. That's why this is such a great idea for me. Much better than using the office microwave! (Long hours, but not a bad job.)
@TheHomesteadGal if your going to use a stanley thermos,be sure to wrap it in a couple of towels to help it retain the heat. i was astounded at the heat loss when i did my comparison test.
@WATCHMANTRUTH007 the nissan thermos does not even feel warm on the outside when you pour boiling water in it. i thought about wrapping it in towels but whats the sense if its not loosing any heat. i just found my old stanley,im gonna conduct a side by side experiment in a few minutes. i should have the video of my results up tomorrow morning sometime.
great idea. i saw it a few months ago and bought a thermos. tried it today. mine came out perfect after just an hour, but i'll try longer time also to make it probably even better. only one downside i can think of, and it's probably just paranoia, but that little hole in the rubber/plastic cap, i'm not keen on rice steam going into there, because it's a place that's impossible to wash. i don't want any potential "dirt" there. but im probably just overthinking it
@barnett1129 i got mine at the bass pro shop. it was about 50 bucks. you would do better buying it from amazon. it is pricey but i dont mind paying a little more for something thats so much better. i will be doing a side by side comparison as soon as i find where on earth i put my old stanley.
Since dried beans are so energy intensive when cooked on stove top, it looks like a huge success. You could cook your entire dinner with a handful of yard wastes as a fuel. I will have to get one of these things.
I didn't know about the Nissan themos. Been using my Stanley for cooking for several years now. I cook rice and other grains in it, but I soak the grain overnight then pre heat my thermos, like you did, boil the grain or beans for 5 min. The only difference is that I would wrap the thermos in towels. I heard you can also put cast iron pots wrapped in towels, in a cooler overnight. I haven't tryed it yet. I am going to check out this Nissan thermos. No smell of cooking food, and portable.
@abushua 12 hour shift? man thats a long day! just the beans take that long,rice and noodles only take a couple hours. im gonna try a stew and see if it can be done in a few hours.
well here is an update on my employment!!!! i now work 14-16 hour shifts in the oilfield. oh joy!!! but on the upside,,,i get 3 days off after my 4 on. still ,my body is screaming NAP TIME!!! after about 10 hours. hope the thermos cooking makes the hours a little more bearable.
The greater the volume of hot liquid the better the heat retention will be. not really fair to compare this massive thermos with your much smaller green Stanley thermos.
I filled them both to the top. What makes you think there is more In one than the other. Lastly, I have no vested interest I. What thermos performs better. I own them both. This video was a simple experiment to see which one performed better if for no other reason than to know which one to put my coffee in for work. Do your own experiment and see which works better for you. It might be the opposite of my determination. Sheesh. Some people take a home, kitchen counter experiment far to seriously, as though there is some effort put in to making one look better than the other. Get a life man! Seriously! There are wars and rumors of wars, there are food shortages and people suffering worldwide. This is what you choose to be upset about?
Well... if the domestic does the job, it's good enough and better than "the best" foreign. But I use cast iron pots and hay cookers, I'm a bit old-fashioned like that :-D

That's a good idea. I work 12 hours every day.....I could get this ready at lunch and have it the next day. Good stuff....thanks for posting.
ive looked into the thermal cookers and i would love to have one but they are PRICEY!!! thanlks for watching!
I bought a nissan because of your reviews....thing is amazing.

im just curious,but who in the heck would thumbs down a video about cooking beans? now thats just wierd man.
cause its hard to believe the beans are well cooked. its dangerous to eat under cooked, hard beans...especially red beans
@@flethacker Ha! some people see a conspiracy around every corner. Ive met your type. The same type that think the virus isnt real.
Great ,will be looking for this thermos on my next trip to the store...Thank you.

@hopkinsclint yep.they are the dried beans you get in a plastic bag at evilmart.
Dear sir, great video, I will try it at home. Also I have to ask,where did you buy your stainless steel coffee mug, I would like to buy one. Thanks.
So good! Have you tried cooking in a sauce rather than water? Like chopped tomatoes or something :)

@TheHomesteadGal i just did a stew and man it turned out great! im uploading the vid now.
Great info, well presented. Have you tried presoaking your beans?
Was those dry beans n did u soak them overnight before u boiled it for 5 minutes n put them in the thermos?
@bctruck Did you use dry beans in a bag (uncanned) ? thank you
NICE... Is that the 61 oz. thermos?
I haveny,but that sounds like a great idea!
All the beans were dry and not presoaked right?
Right.

@@bctruck Sorry, just making a simple observation, not the least bit upset.
dry beans,didnt soak.

There is no domestic. The stanley is made in china and the thermos is made in japan.
I can’t stick my hand in the scalding dirty bean water and for that reason, I’m out.
Well, there is that.
How many ounces is the thermos?
