Thermos Cooking: Bacon Cheeseburger Macaroni

Make delicious Bacon Cheeseburger Macaroni in your thermos!

[@SC-dw3jz]

When I was in military tech school I would put ramen noodles in my thermos with the flavor pack. There was a kurig there I would use for the hot water. Sealed it and in about 10 minutes it was perfect

[@wasatchdan]

I really enjoy all these short little cooking videos. So easy to do.

[@jiniefox6126]

Really enjoyed this clip. Im getting ideas, and this looks ideal for camping or van cooking. cheers

[@LogicBob]

Wow, I never knew you could do this! Watching all your thermos cooking vids now! Can you make hard boiled eggs in a thermos?

[@woezacardoza5659]

Yes

[@cloudraker100]

I used thermos cooking when I was going to college. classmates thought I was weird (probably accurate ), but I graduated with no student loans while they all had loans. coincidence?

[@averageiowaguy]

No doubt. If you want to eat cheap, thermos cooking is definitely a way to do it. The meal in the video was 1/2 of a knorr side, which works out to fifty cents. The hamburger might have been 15 cents and the bacon was a few pennies. You should post some of the stuff you used to make. I'm interested in ideas.

[@dumbage]

cloudraker100 yeah they where probably poor and you where rich

Spent a ton of money on food last semester. Just bought the food jar for this year.

[@sodatato]

one of my history teacher eat only DIY stuff and worked part time while at university. all his friends were partying and eating out. he finished without owning the bank anything. all his friend had 30-50,000$ in debt and some didnt even get the diploma.

Thanks for sharing. I've time heat tested Stanley and thermos brand thermoses. The Stanley's however well made are pale in comparison to heat retention to the thermos.

[@lindabingham394]

i dont find that to be the same case for mee the stanley was always the king for me

[@gheretmaaar7652]

Stanley is the best, plus no risk of glass particles transmitting to your food or water as time passes...

[@coppertopvon]

I used to do something like this at work with my top ramen... Put noodles/ flavor pkt on commuter mug add boiling water & take back to my desk while I work then 60-90 min later take a bathroom break & soup was perfect temp to eat on a 10 min bathroom brk

[@DamionJR4923]

I use beef jerky instead of the hamburger a bit more money but it works

[@arturomendoza9556]

What size is that thermo?

[@newbrawlgamemusic2020]

I didnt make it with the meat, Btu DAYUM tis good. Thanks for this easy recipie

[@Charlie-fe4vb]

It’s a bit late but do you think I can fit in a cut up chicken breast with rice and mixed veg?

[@jiniefox6126]

Its a bit late, but I just watched another ladies thermos cooking video and she made chicken and veg soup with lots of dried suff ie llentils rice. she also made a beef sew with raw meat. Her channel was called 'Rose Red Homestead' and the clip was called 'Thermos Jug cooking'

[@MakeMeAwsomeSause2]

I relate to that “oh yeah” Really felt it

[@claudiavandamme2633]

I'll put some texture soya instead like vegetarian and will be very tasty...thanks for the good ideas

[@averageiowaguy]

That would be very tasty! I would eat that. You could also substitute TVP - textured vegetable protein. Hope you like it!

[@PREPFORIT]

Looks good. Thermos cooking works.

[@averageiowaguy]

I'm experimenting. I've had a dud or two so far but I don't make videos of the things that don't work.

[@averageiowaguy]

Give it a shot. It isn't a set in stone number, but I know 3 hours works and it is fairly convenient. If it goes a little longer nothing bad happens, the food just stays warm. That is the beauty, as I see it, of thermos cooking. You have a lot of room for error.

[@PREPFORIT]

imsuckingwind the point of a " thermos " is to keep it hot hours later.

[@averageiowaguy]

There is the 17 oz one that I showed here and they have a bigger one that I think is 24 oz. It's called a food jar if you're looking for one.

[@woezacardoza5659]

New sub

[@KoldBurrito]

3:42 oh yeah!

[@2010stoof]

What size is that food jar? Looks like they only make the 24oz and the 1qt (32oz) classic anymore. I like that size though

[@averageiowaguy]

That one is probably the 24 ounce because it is smaller than a quart. Just pick a container that will fit all your ingredients. Hope you have good luck and enjoy it as much as I do.

[@2010stoof]

@@averageiowaguy looked smaller than my 24 oz. But quart worked for full bag. Rather have too much room than not enough lol. Played on side to spread out and worked well. A bit overcooked at 4.5 hours. May try 3 next time.

[@MichealBacon]

@@averageiowaguy Your food jar is 17oz, not 24.

[@carlosmartinezreborned6403]

Since you had your pot on the stove, why didn't you just cook it in the pan an on the stove? You wouldn't have to wait 3 hours. You could have had it in like 20 minutes.

[@dataclast3061]

@@Menkalo "to demonstrate"? to demonstrate what? a less efficient method? why use weird space beef when you could use fresh beef and cook it up in a pot quicker? seems like a lot more work to dehydrate beef like that...

[@sonfoku73]

@@dataclast3061 you can put the stuff in and have a hot meal way later if you need to do something

He was going out maybe for a walk or maybe going to work, so he added all the ingredients quickly to the Thermos, when he got hungry ge gets to eat a nice meal.

[@jarodvodak]

This method is used for fuel/energy conservation. Only having to bring your liquids up to a boil and then letting the container finish the cooking for you means your bills are lower and/or you don’t need to gather copious amounts of campfire materials while in the woods. Of course he could have finished it on the stovetop, but that wasn’t really the point, not everyone has a endless supply of money or time. This method is about frugality and time conservation. Cheers!

[@Idahoser11]

Thumbs up anyway because it does look good, but it's not cooking. These little food jars don't hold heat well enough to "thermos cook", which involves boiling ALL the ingredients and then storing in a better thermos at high temp for long time.
