How it works
The Wonderbag works in four, easy steps:
Boil it
Bag it
Slow cook it
Share it
The Wonderbag uses heat retention to allow food to be slow cooked off of a heat source.
To cook, simply bring food to the boil on a stove, let simmer, and then put the pot with its lid into your Wonderbag.
Cinch the Wonderbag tightly with the drawstring, and slow cook to perfection for up to 8 hours.

Wonderbag Cooking Tips
Tip #1 : Your pot selection
Use the right size pot for the amount of food you wish to cook so that the pot is mostly full. This will help maintain proper cooking temperatures. Use a metal or glassware pot with short handles. Do not use clay or ceramic. Make sure to use a tight fitting lid.
Tip #2 : Bring to the boil
Bring your food to a gentle boil and simmer it before covering with a lid and placing in the Wonderbag. Simmering times will vary based on recipe, type of food and altitude. Place the boiling pot immediately from the stove onto a trivet or tea towel inside the Wonderbag
Tip #3 : Heat retention effectiveness
Heat is retained more effectively when 1) the pot is mostly full and sealed with a tight-fitting lid, 2) you don’t open the lid to check on the cooking food. Opening the lid will lower the temperature of the food, so if you do need to check, bring your pot of food back to a simmer before putting it back in the Wonderbag.
Tip # 4 : Cleaning your Wonderbag
The Wonderbag can be spot washed and hung to dry. Front loading washing machines with a gentle wash cycle can also be used with cold water and minimal detergent. Hang dry or in a tumble dryer on a low temperature setting.
