Podcasts about wonderbag

Wonderbag was a company established in 2008 methods as a solution to South Africa's energy crisis providing families with a means to continue cooking daily meals during power outages. Resembling a colourful bag reminiscent of a pumpkin, Wonderbag employs ancient heat retention cooking technology, providing employment and income opportunities to entrepreneurs across the developing world. In South Africa, manufacturing is outsourced to 2000 entrepreneurs, primarily women, providing them with vital income. Founder of Wonderbag, Sarah Collins told Biznews in an interview about the business model she pioneered, her high-profile carbon clients including Sasol, Anglo American and Nandos. She also highlighted South Africa's role in crafting legislation to bolster carbon credit projects.

Beverly and Gaynor live on a Sailboat! Their channels depicts what it's like to live and cook at sea, all while eating gluten free! I found our conversation fascinating. Especially when it comes to some of the energy saving gadgets they use on their boat. The wonderbag and the thermal slow cooker are great examples of merging ancient cooking techniques and modern technology. I also loved the hand crank food processor. Cooks Tour Afloat is their gluten free cooking channel. I really enjoyed this UK classic cottage pie recipe and how they turned the leftovers into to two separate dishes. Nothing goes to waste!

Smoke inhalation from cooking causes millions of deaths. Stirring cooking pots for hours and hours, and collecting firewood to cook with steals lives - preventing many people from going to school or achieving their potential.But a simple invention, created in South Africa, is already changing this. The Wonderbag is an insulated drawstring container weighing about the same as a bag of sugar. Bring a pot of stew to the boil, pop it inside the Wonderbag and it finishes cooking all on its own. This drastically reduces the amount of wood (or kerosene!) needed to cook. Women have launched businesses, creating income in their communities, in the hours they have freed from stirring open pots. Girls can get an education instead of collecting wood.Wonderbags are made from foam out of aeroplane seats which would otherwise have been burned. They've even been used to cook food while climbing Kilimanjaro, as my guest Ken Dunn explains in this episode.Ken, a former geography teacher, visited Lesotho twenty years ago. He took a bunch of children from near Barnsley which ultimately catalysed a community development project and the launch of a charity, Africa's Gift. This isn't about patronage, "saviour" tropes, or telling people what's good for them, as Ken explains in this episode. It's about listening and working together to create positive solutions to problems that do – or will – affect everyone. Other projects are addressing soil erosion and generating community wealth.Businesses, social enterprises and people working together are making huge contributions to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, says Ken - arguably much more than Governments. This is a fascinating interview which covers Ken's own journey from teacher to founder, community partner, social entrepreneur and wonderbag advocate

Never miss another interview! Join Devin here: http://bit.ly/joindevin. Chiara Savage Schwatz, a teenage changemaker, is working to raise money to help families in South Africa obtain Wonderbag slow cookers. These ingenious products require no energy! Families use them by bringing a pot of food up to a high temperature over a fire or stove and then by inserting the pot into the superinsulated bag to finish cooking, reducing the total energy required to cook the food. This single tool helps reduce fuel consumption and indoor smoke. By reducing fuel, usually charcoal or wood, she is helping to reduce deforestation and to slow climate change. By reducing indoor smoke, she is improving the health of everyone inside the home, especially the women in children who tend to spend the most time there. By using donations to make the devices free or affordable to low-income families, she is helping to address global poverty. When low-income families can spend less on fuel, more money is available for clean water, food and education. So, the Wonderbag is one intervention that addresses three key problems: poverty, global health and climate change. Chiara is one powerful teenager! Be a hero!

Women in science, engineering and technology careers still represent less than a third of that workforce. Nearly 53% in the industry leave the field. Engineer Pratima Rao Gluckman interviewed 19 female tech executives for her book, "Nevertheless, She Persisted." Sarah Collins conceived her idea for the Wonderbag during an electrical blackout in her town in South Africa. The portable non-electric heat retentive slow-cooker has helped save lives from smoke inhalation and put women to work.This show is broadcast live on Wednesday's at 12PM ET on W4WN Radio – The Women 4 Women Network (www.w4wn.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).

Oh folks. Get ready for a low-energy show. After drinking too much last night, I talk about being an alcoholic by the Army's standards, buying a car, being too old to drink Yeager Bombs, 20 year olds drinking gimlets, and how bad Altered Carbon is. Then I read a letter from Toast and talk about the Wonderbag, before talking about the piece of crap car I just bought.  budiak@dynamitegun.com

At this year’s Amsterdam Symposium on the History of Food I talked to Jon Verriet, who’s been researching the history of the haybox. That’s an insulated container, into which you put hot food, which then keeps cooking thanks to the retained heat. Jon made the point that hayboxes often see an upsurge during times of war and hardship, when they can be promoted as good for the country because they save energy and money. Environmentally-aware types also like them, to save energy as they cook their lentils. Researching the haybox myself, I came across its modern incarnation, the Wonderbag, which neatly ties those two motivations together. When you buy one, perhaps for environmental reasons, you’re actually paying for two, one of which goes to a poor family to save money, fuel, time, water, everything. I thought that was worth a follow-up, and so sought out Sarah Collins, a South African social entrepreneur who developed the Wonderbag. Notes The Wonderbag website tells the story and links through to the Wonderbag Foundation. The University of California at Berkeley study mentioned in the podcast concluded that the Wonderbag saves 8–21% of the time family members spend cooking, 10–36% of fuel costs, and allows families to spend 36–60% more on food.

   Huffduff it This year’s Amsterdam Symposium on the History of Food was dedicated to The material culture of cooking tools and techniques and was full of fascinating stuff. I especially enjoyed a talk on the hay box, the original slow cooker. The principle is simplicity itself. Bring a pot full of food to the boil and then insulate it really well so that it cools down very slowly. The food continues to cook as it cools down and if your insulation is good enough you can come back hours later to find a hot, properly cooked meal. The haybox actually has quite a long history, with three Gold Medals awarded to a Mr Johan Sörensen at the Paris Exhibition in 1867. Various patents were granted to Sörensen and others, and the idea was promoted for "fishermen, pilots, and others whose small vessels are not generally so constructed as to enable them to procure hot food while at sea" and, eventually, domestic cooks. In his talk, Jon Verriet traced the ups and downs of the haybox from around 1895 to the present day. It was most popular in times of war, but always with a moral element to it, even if the moral lesson shifted slightly. Notes There’s a terrific account of The Self-acting Norwegian Cooking Apparatus in the New York Medical Journal, vol 10 (1870). Do not be distracted by either the preceding item (The Effects of Hashish) or the one after (When to Trephine). Thanks to Hedon for the link. The most recent incarnation of the haybox is the Wonderbag, created by a development worker after a restless night and now offering to save the planet and pull people out of poverty. Aside from that, most of the online writing about the haybox is survivalist stuff. I’m not linking to that. The banner image is from Ford Madox Brown’s The Hayfield. I’d like to think that his supper is under one of the little haystacks. The cover illustration is from The Fireless Cook Book, by Margaret J. Mitchell.
