Powering a portable 12V/24V electric kettle

Haha, no, by spelt milk I meant milk from the spelt grain. Just as you have "soy milk, rice milk, almond milk" etc... You'll see, it's mildly "slimy", delicious taste.

24 hours of soaking might be too much. 6-12 is enough. You now just rinse it (final rinse with purified water), put it in a thermos (use a funnel if you want) and add boiling purified water over it. Then close the thermos.

I am not sure how long it takes for the spelt to be cooked. 4 hours is more than enough , that I am sure of (tested it). I however usually put it overnight, so I have a quick and warm breakfast waiting for me in the morning.

You'll see, spelt has a great natural flavor. Slightly nutty, slightly sweetish. Best thing to put over it is some coconut butter and maybe some cinnamon.

Slimmy and delicious do not go together in my book.

What. You don't like oysters?

OK you got me there but a shot of lemon and Tabasco take care of that.

It's not slimy in a "bad way"... Just, thicker than regular water, thicker than animal milk... (-:

Nah, solar oven can't boil water, only heat it. Also, it takes quite some time to do so. The only viable solution is a tiny, highly portable gas stove.

While I do agree your best solution is most likely a portable gas stove, you can easily boil water with a solar oven. I do it a few times every summer.

I use an SOS oven when staying at the ranch. We've taken a 1 gallon pressure cooker and painted the outside black. Add water 2 quarts water, set it for 5 psi and place in oven. Takes 30 to 45 minutes for it to start blowing steam showing the water is to boiling temp.

Amazing and cool ! ! !

How about on a cloudy day ?

(Where is your ranch though ? )

Indeed, that is very interesting.

I wonder if there is a 1quart pressure cooker? That is, a pressure cooker that can double act as a thermos. Colored black and all. Can be used on low-tech solar cookers, gas-stoves (and of course regular ways of making food.)

C'mon, who wants to start a Kickstarter campaign? Making cheap nutritious food, using minimal amounts of energy, etc?

Let's make a 1quart pressure cooker/thermos! I need somebody from the States to lead the project and do the talking ^_^ (I'm being serious here). This can have a great impact on the Green/Vegeterian/Vegan communities.

Please - You won't find them here - this is not anything new and nothing to do with kickstarter - but then when I looked at kickstarter a couple of days back this was the type of things they showed -

I like you russ. You're a good guy (-:

No problem - People often confuse green with all sorts of strange stuff - we do not want to be part of that confusion.

DO what is right for mother earth - that does not include foolish games.

Hey Mr. Marble

I'm thinking about the thermos thing, the fact that it is so well insulated might make it hard to heat up.

Might have to still heat the water seperately, but could make the black container smaller to hold just enough water.

How much water do you need?

Also, your English is so good, in what tiny European country do you live? If you don't mind my asking that is.

At least it looks like a thermos when closed. Has the same vacumm tube as a thermos just clear for light energy to shine through.

My ranch is in central Montana. Cloudy days we use either wood or propane if we don't want to start a fire.

Everything a person thinks of is already made, hehe. Thanks for the link White Wolf.

@ Albert, I am from Serbia. The land of Nikola Tesla. I learned my English while watching the Simpsons as a kid. D'oh (-:

@ russ, indeed. Keep away with loony loser-ish stuff.

Not to be telling others what to think or where to "keep" plus you have to go back 16 posts for that.
