Stove Cooking

Slow CookerQuinoa Chilli

Slow Cooker, a set on Flickr.

We've found the perfect way to simmer a pan of food on the wood burner...

This is Sime's quinoa chilli, which we had with cornbread.

Just great not using the electric hob & making the most of the stove heat. We also boil the kettle on it & fill our flask, so there's always a supply of water for hot drinks.

Makes us feel good that we're using less electricity!

Apparently, in the last 12 months - we've used 4600 kWh, but have nothing to compare it with, it seems a lot though... Does anyone else know their usage?

It's cold here tonight... Hope it's warm where you are!

  4. Great use of the wood stove! Your electricity usage is much lower than ours. We average aroudn 1000 a month...... that's using LED lights, even, but our heat is also electric, which adds a lot.

  5. We don't have such a large space on the top of our stove. Probably enough for a saucepan. This is thought provoking stuff.
