[Stoves] Lets eat beans for every meal!

PAUL - Take a look at how we cook beans for school children - at time 3:15 (min:sec) for cooking on the eco-Kalan-C; 6:17 for opening of the Magic Box (retained heat cooking) and 8:20 for the Summary of food cooked (kg), cooking time and fuel consumed (kg,$) -- of the following video :

Teddy, 

Very interesting. Can you (or anyone) provide more info about the equipment (especially size) to pre-cook the beans. 


steam-cook beans in big metal containers, before cooling and packaging them for sale. 

I am wondering if the "steam-cooking" is with a pressure cooker? And about the volume of beans per batch and total quantity per day. 

The shelf-life of cooked foods is rather short unless: 
a. canning 
b. preservatives 
c. refrigeration 
d. other ???? 
Are any of these methods being used? 

Please keep us informed about this.

Perhaps a very interesting approach to reducing some of the negatives associated with cooking in East Africa. Does anyone know more about this? http://news.trust.org/item/20161216080433-4azer 

''George Oketch from Wiga village in Homa Bay County said his family of nine now eats more beans thanks to the shorter cooking time. 
"Initially, we cooked beans only twice a month, but now we eat beans three times a week," he said. 

The C$2.65 million ($1.99 million) project - whose first phase began in October 2014 and ends next March - is being implemented by Uganda's National Agricultural Research Organisation and Kenya's Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization. 

Ouma said a survey in Uganda showed an average family consumed about 12 kg of beans per month, requiring around 288 kg of charcoal per year to cook them. 
The project, targeting a sample of 10,000 households in Kenya and 7,000 in Uganda, should prevent some 400,000 kg of charcoal being burned per year, he added. "This is a big impact on deforestation," he said.''
