It’s Like a Slow Cooker – Only Better Slow cookers are great because they: Lessen the chance of food burning or boiling-over, Allow for better infusion of flavours, Can save time with ‘one-pot’ style cooking. BUT regular slow cookers still need a continuous supply of energy, just like traditional stovetop cooking. If you enjoy the benefits of a slow cooker but want an energy-efficient yet straightforward cooking solution, then the Billyboil is for you. Here’s how easy it is to use: Step 1 – Use the stainless steel inner pot as you would normally. Bring your food to the boil, or cook as required. Step 2 – Once the food is heated through, switch off your stove. Then, place the inner pot inside the insulated outer pot and close the lid. The Billyboil will continue to cook the food using the retained thermal energy in the already heated-up food. Step 3 – Remove the inner pot when the cooking time has elapsed, or up to 12 hours later, when you’re ready to eat. The Billyboil is easy to use on any existing stovetop.
