Frans:

Thank you for bringing up steam cooking. Is "ambient steam cooking"
different from "pressure steam cooking"?

Liquid/gas fuel stoves with pressure cookers transformed the lives of about
a billion cooks so far.

I cannot say the same of biomass household stoves, but it should be
possible.

I find your "1 kg wood = 4 kWh" incomprehensible. That's just energy
content. Delivered to pot, who knows?

I think the bigger point is, even a biomass stove that facilitates use of
pressure cookers makes a huge difference in time and energy spent.

Another reason the good old performance metrics of fuel consumption and
emission rates need to be junked. What matters is how the stoves are used
in practice, not what some fanatics come up with in labs.

HALLO JUDI AND STOVERS

   Ambient steam coockers  are of 800-900 watt el Power used 30 minuts for
cooking !

For a dual meal  less than 0,5 KWh is used = 0,12 ?    or 0,06$ / meal
about

1Kg wood=4KWh

0,25 KWh=62gram wood/meal should be possible with low losses .

Frans
