For use just place some blankets and towels inside, and seal a cooking pot in the cooker.\n| image = Image:Final productjtl.jpg\n| caption = Figure 5: You're Done!\n}}\n\n== Use ==\n\nThe cooker is easy to use. Bring a meal to the proper temperature and leave it there for at least 2 minutes, then seal it in the box. Leave it in the box until cooking is completed. It should be noted that recipes using this method require less spicing and usually 50% more time to cook, so plan accordingly.\n\n== Maintenance and tips ==\n\n* Clean your cooker between each use.\n* Be sure to wash all blankets and towels used in the cooking process\n* Do not leave your cooker in areas where it could get wet.\n* Always ensure that your food is fully cooked before consuming\n* Experiment with new recipes! Stews and soups work well with this method.\n\n{{Page data\n| keywords = aluminum foil, cardboard box, retained heat cooker, Aluminum, Cardboard, Mylar blanket, Newspaper\n| sdg = SDG02 Zero hunger, SDG08 Decent work and economic growth\n| published = 2013\n| organizations = Category:Engr305 Appropriate Technology, Cal Poly Humboldt, Jefferson Community Center\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n| language = en\n}}\n\n[[Category:Engr305 Appropriate Technology]]\n[[Category:How tos]]"}
