I use angel hair pasta instead of ramen, it cooks quick also.

Love this video! My elderly mother and I were the only house with power in our neighborhood during last year’s winter storm. My sister who lives in Kyle, TX was without electricity or heat for almost a week. So was another sister who lives less than 20 miles away… My daughter’s childhood friend’s Mother was found dead in her Austin, TX home. A lot of us have no clue how to survive disasters.

[@NinthElement]

😢🙏🤦‍♀️ So so sad.

[@lillianelliott1868]

If you have a gas stove with electric starter you can also like that with the match. Please pass that around because a lot of people don’t know that. I lived in Michigan through many storms.

[@homesteadgal4143]

@@lillianelliott1868 Keep in mind that is only for the stove top. The gas/propane stovetop will work with a match but the oven will not work. Ovens require the regulated temperature and that means the gas/propane goes on & off to hold the desired oven temperature. This will not work using an electric igniter. Best deal is to have a battery-powered igniter if you have a gas/propane stove/oven (that's what we have).

[@jennyeagan1840]

​@@lillianelliott1868No no No no! This can be dangerous. My apartment complex forbids this. We are all hooked up to each other's gas lines along with the neighborhood gas lines that run through our connecting complex. And, there is no electric on to work the stovetop vents. Just wait it out. Boil water in a tea kettle ahead of an incoming storm, or a ten quart pan, take some for water bottles. Insulate water bottles, tea kettle and the 10quart when done with things like insulated curtains, quilted blankets. Same for slow cookers.

[@SandraGarcia-ho4lb]

I live in South Florida; hurricane preparedness is vital. I will not use propane or charcoal (family member accident) For years I have used the sterno cooking fuel - fast,can be used indoors, reusable. With power out for nearly 2 weeks, hot coffee, decent meals every day while our neighbors ran out of propane & charcoal. We had run out of bread,no convenience of a store. Had a box of bread mix - took pavers from the garden & cookie rack to make an oven. Placed 2 stereo on bottom & just let bread bake Nothing like fresh homemade bread, peanut and jelly with hot soup!

First I LOVE the kitty dish! Just wanted to add a few suggestions. We went through Sandy in NJ 2012, I cooked up every piece of meat 4 days out when the suggestion of the storm hitting us came over the airwaves. I then refroze all the meaty meals in aluminum pans in the deep freezer. Of course we lost power for 9days and trees were down all around us we were basically trapped in our home! We reheated the meals in sterno racks or on the grill and ate very well over the course of the disaster. Our deep freezer held up very well and kept everything nice and cold. I did check the temp of food before warming it up just in case. I almost threw out my mother’s fondue pot but thought it would be awesome for soup! You have excellent ideas! Thank you for sharing.

When I was younger living in CT, we had power outages all the time. My parents use to break out the Colman camp stove to cook. It worked perfectly. It's always good to have one of these on hand for such occasions. Later years, we also had a kerosene heater for the colder months, which did the job. Kerosene is more expensive than it use to be but it is good for emergencies especially if you don't have a generator or a woodstove. It's also good to have a carbon monoxide monitor while running a kerosene heater. It does smell when you first start it up and then the odor goes away.

I set mine up on my stove on a metal baking sheet for extra safety. I also purchased a camping mess kit in case. Looking at a Haines solar oven too. Cheers! ✌

Beef stew sounds wonderful right now but I'm to lazy to go to the store and get some. You made me hungry Ms Mindy!

[@NinthElement]

Hi Crystal, that is so funny that my Dollar Store meals made you hungry. I can give a very positive report on these meals, and they are much tastier than the MRE meals that I tried in my Livestream. Also, they are way cheaper. Cheers!

Oats don’t really need to be cooked. Overnight oats are great. If you want them warm, add warmed milk to the bowl.

True, but this is a video that shows how to cook during a power outage. Personally, I do not like the taste of soaking oatmeal overnight, do you?

[@tbaer4894]

I use my thermos for cooking oatmeal. Oatmeal and hot water in the thermos takes about 40 minutes or so...time it takes to walk my dog.

[@hartmanartsource]

I put my oats with liquid (water, almond milk, or whatever) and my add-ins (like raisins, cocoa nibs, berries, or nuts) in a mason jar and let it stand on the counter overnight. By morning, the oats are soft, the fruit is plump, and I can add in warm water or milk if I want to. Really, it doesn’t need to be cooked.

@@sharonbeckmon9837 to me, the taste is the same. The texture is slightly different, but I add in a lot of stuff, too.

@@hartmanartsource I'm a Malt-o-meal kinda guy but hot oat meal and butter is darn good too..

You were very informative with the food items and mixing them together.....I've not seen a video on this topic yet and I have done a bunch of searching also. Keep it up thank you very much from Virginia.

[@NinthElement]

Hi Earnie, thank you for noticing this. I was intentional on being unique. Cheers!

[@angelastcerny]

Very bad food choices, not real food. As Putin said 'americans are sick fat and dead' he was referring to our fake food. Choose real whole foods. You are very mislead Earnie. Look back at your childhood and what you ate then.

[@annetteamerine8126]

Have you heard about using a wonderbag for cooking without power, you need to check it out on you tube on how to make one . 😀

[@NinthElement]

Hi Dora, this is an awesome question. I went to an Off-Grid Internship in 1998. One of the ways we cooked food was with a Hay Box. They are pretty simple to make and they do work. The Wonderbag is a cute modern version of the old school one. Thank you for asking me this question, I am going to check out the Wonderbag. Cheers!

Thank you so much! You are too kind, Cheers!

[@bethetruth6428]

you could do a fondue a ganash or chocolate dipping sauce for whatever , and lightly fry up a seasoning sauce with spring onions, dried chilli etc (to flavour oil and foods) =Aromatics need only low heat & not long too.

[@NinthElement]

Now that is fancy Power Outage meals. Oh my! Yummy, Cheers!
