SOUP
Nourish, warm and fill yourself & your loved ones with all the right stuff, all in one shot!
The 'creaminess' of our soups comes from first caramelizing onions in a bit of olive oil, then pureed after cooking to deliver a thickness some people might mistake for cream. Perfect if you’re trying to maintain or lose weight – keep one of these in the fridge all week for a quick snack or pick-me-up!.
STEWS & CURRIES
When it comes to flavour development, the Wonderbag is the queen!
By removing your pot from a heat source and snuggling it inside the Wonderbag, there's never any need to stir (as nothing will burn to the bottom), so all the flavours stay trapped inside the pot. With stews and curries, the longer you can leave them, the better!
GRAINS & PULSES
The Wonderbag is your perfect cooker for these superfoods as you can slow-cook your dried beans or lentils in there all day, and they won't turn to mush.
As for grains - perfectly absorbed, fully cooked grains with nothing burned or stuck to the bottom of your pan!
MEAT & POULTRY
You can't believe how tender and moist your meat and chicken will be after slow cooking in the Wonderbag.
Chicken will fall off the bone, and tough cuts of lamb, beef, and pork will melt in your mouth.
And the taste...oh my!!
WONDERBAG COOK'S NOTES
TASTE
The underlying principles of slow cooking are clearly at play here, delivering the flavor development that comes with cooking things at a low temperature for a long period of time. And because there is no opening the lid to stir the pot, all the flavors are trapped...nothing evaporates out of the pot or it's cooking juices.
EASE
One of my favorite things about the Wonderbag is that it takes the stress out my meals. Just to know that my side dish of rice is cooking safely with no chance of boiling over, and nothing is going to stick/burn to the bottom allows me get on with the business of cooking my salmon or whatever else. Even BETTER when my main dish is in the Wonderbag - dinner will be served when I'm ready to serve it, not when the timer says so. Friends and family running late? No problem, dinner's in the bag!
TIMING
The time a dish needs to slow-cook in a Wonderbag will vary based on the recipe and food type. Rice only needs one hour in the Wonderbag. Soups and stews are cooked after one hour in the Wonderbag, but their flavor gets better as the day goes on. Tough cuts of meat become moist and tender the longer you leave them. Once you start using your Wonderbag, it becomes very intuitive.
