[Stoves] Lets eat beans for every meal!

[Ingelore Kahrens]

Hi Paul and Teddy,

from what I read I understand that the new products will be introduced 
in the market in early 2017. I will ask my female town-dwelling friends 
in Kenya to watch out for them and do some sampling and research. These 
products could be very beneficial to people living in urban areas. As 
for those in rural areas, soaking the beans before cooking and using the 
basket cooker will be a good option as many/most of them grow their own 
beans.
