Product Description

Wonderbag Portable Slow Cooker with Recipe Cookbook, Blue Batik

What's a Wonderbag?

Wonderbag is a simple but revolutionary non-electric, portable slow cooker. Wonderbag's clever insulation allows food that has been brought to the boil to continue slow cooking or warm while in the bag. No plugs. No Fuss. No electricity required, so it’s worry-free.

Slow Cooking with Wonderbag Hearty Chipotle Chili
Slow Cooking with Wonderbag

To slow cook, simply bring food to a boil on a stove, let simmer (5 minutes for rice and grains, 15 minutes for root vegetables, meat or presoaked beans), then put the pot with lid into your Wonderbag, close tightly, and slow cook to perfection up to 12 hours. Because it is not on direct heat, it will never overcook or burn. Wonderbag is perfect for bringing delicious home cooked meals to potlucks, dinner parties, tailgating, or camping. It’s perfect for holidays when stove and counter space are at a premium.

Powerless is Powerful - Buy One Donate One

Powerless is powerful. Wonderbag isn’t just a powerless cooker; it’s an instrument for change. 3 billion women still cook over wood fires, a major source of health, environmental and socio-economic issues. By drastically reducing time spent cooking, the Wonderbag empowers women across Africa to participate in more activities outside of the home enhancing their quality of life. Using the Wonderbag helps save water, reduces the carbon footprint, minimizes deforestation, smoke inhalation diseases and deaths. One Wonderbag per year saves 1.7 trees, 1000 liters of water and 1,248 hours of time not spent collecting firewood. For every Wonderbag purchased in the US, one is donated to a family in need in Africa.

Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until heated through. This takes about 15 minutes. Place your lidded pot in the Wonderbag for for a minimum of 1 hours and up to 4 hours for flavors to mingle. Serve, if desired, with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and/or chopped cilantro.

Best You Know This
  • Use with copper, steel, aluminum, enameled cast iron, or glassware pots in standard sizes with short handles and tight fitting lid. Use the right sized pot for the food you want to cook in order to best retain heat.
  • Bring all food to a boil before putting into a Wonderbag. For best results keep bag and pot closed for the entire cooking time.
  • Hand wash, hang dry. Use a dishtowel in the base of the Wonderbag to protect it from spills.
  • There is no evaporation when cooking, so use less liquid than you otherwise would. If using alcohol in your recipe, allow it to boil off for 5 minutes before placing in Wonderbag.
  • Please note: Wonderbag will arrive vacuum sealed and must be fluffed up before first usage.

Important information

Safety Information

To speed cooking time, cut ingredients into smaller pieces. Never put a pot that is over 350 degrees into Wonderbag. If you're unsure of temperature, place a potholder (silicone is best) in the base of the Wonderbag to protect and put Wonderbag on a trivet when in use. Food should not be fall below 135 degrees F for longer than 2 hours before consuming or refrigerating. When in doubt, use a thermometer to ensure you food is above 135 degrees F,

Directions

Bring the pot of food to a boil with the lid on long enough to heat the food through. Open the Wonderbag, place a pot holder (we recommend silicone) in the base of the Wonderbag. Place the lidded pot into the Wonderbag and close Wonderbag tightly. Place the Wonderbag on a trivet or a potholder and let pot slow cook to perfection for at least as long as you would otherwise simmer. Open the Wonderbag, season and serve. Enjoy!

Customers are mixed about the size of the slow cooker. Some mention that the bag is very large, big enough to use our large soup pot with no problems, and it does not have to take up counter space as it cooks. It also allows them to have more stove-top space as they continue to cook a larger meal while keeping. However, others say that it takes up a lot of space for a kitchen accessory, difficult to store, and takes up the space of a cushion.

MUCH LARGER than I realized. See pic with yard stick for reference.
4 Stars
MUCH LARGER than I realized. See pic with yard stick for reference.
Not sure how to rate this... as I’m not keeping it (It won’t work as I thought for my needs). However, that is not the fault of the product. it looks amazing, quality is fabulous near as I can tell. I originally put this on my Wishlist long time ago thinking it would be great for my RV. In that time others described the size as being bulky. When I received it as a Christmas gift I was very surprised at the footprint/space it takes up in a small RV where storage is a premium. (See attached picture with a YARD STICK for comparison). I gave a four star rating because this wonderbag looks like a great product. It will also keep cold foods cold.
