Sorry, but I am STUNNED that Brits are THAT unfamiliar with the "Straw Box" method of cooking. Here's how it used to be done: You construct a box with wood that is about 1" thick along with a lid that is a SNUG fit for the top. Line it thickly with clean, dry straw and keep aside a good load of straw to go on top of your enclosed pot. Get your stew going (PLEASE keep meat in about 1 1/4" chunks max) and get it to a FIERCE, rolling boil. SNUG it into the straw as tight as a nun's, pile a load of straw (working quickly, mind you) put the lid on, shove a couple of clean bricks on top and let her fly for about six hours. It was the "slow cooker" before slow cookers were invented. Wizard, eh???

"3.5bn people cook over an open fire, jeopardising their health' – Really? Jeopardising? So, camping, BBQ's and so on are a dangerous activity?
Widespread deforestation – I think land clearing for cattle farms, intensive farming, and illegal logging have far more impact on the environment than firewood. Granted, using a setup like a rocket stove rather than an open fire, would significantly decrease the amount of wood needed, but let's not forget that the other benefits of a fire are heat, light, and also as an insect repellent, so open fires domestically, aren't the real problem.
Does sound like someone swallowed the marketing blurb from this company.
I get it, it's an interesting idea, but it's not the only solution that does the same thing, and often better than the wonderbag, nor does it negate the need for a fire (in some parts of the world) at the outset, of the cooking process.
'Women doing hours of unpaid labour' – come on now, this is getting ridiculous. This was clearly written by some eco warrior feminist wasn't it? In such communal societies, collecting wood and maintaining a fire, gathering food, and hunting, are ALL unpaid, are they not? Combined together, all these activities sustain life. To suggest that the wonderbag is going to free up a woman's time so that she can go and work and earn money is nonsense.
Created, maybe, but 'invented', I think that's a stretch. Thermal cooking has been around for a very long time, even in medieval times. I also seem to recall people cooking in the 20th century in boxes of straw. Non powered Thermal cookers made out of stainless steel, have been around since the 1990s.
The founder came up with the idea in 2008, by 2012 had sold 150k units in SA, as at Jan 2013 650k units distributed throughout several countries in Africa, and backed by the likes of Unilever.
If anyone is interested, other options, just google thermal cooker, Tayama thermal cooker gets good reviews also the Stanley Camp Crock has tested well, for the same application, and both are the size of a small pressure cooker.

You keep saying, " women and children are disproportionately adverse by having to also do work." I'm sorry. Men go work life altering/ending jobs every day and no body gives a flip. I worked 12-16 hours a day for 14 years in industrial work. The straw that broke the Carmels back was when I came home and my 3yo son asked my wife who I was and why I was in the house.

Great video ! ( she did not invent it though-people have used a haychest in Europe, wooden chest filled with hay straw and raw wool, in India and Ethiopia they use something similar from terracotta.)

Did you guys keep the bags or donate them? If you kept them would you do a recipe challenge?

I would bet these would work quite well for any dish that needs a long slow simmer type cooking. stew, curry, even "larger" dishes like stew and roasts, but just cube the meat up to "stew-sized" so it cooks thru. Rice and cassorole type dishes would probably work quite well also.

When Jamie said, 'That my friend, is called privilege.' My heart melts ❤❤. The amount of unpaid works that women have to do at the other part of the world is insane, just by acknowledging your privilege brings things into another level. Anyway, love your video (as always).

Similar to the Hay-Box method used in Wartime cooking. Keeps the food insulated so heat cant escape , wonderful !

Problem with the Wonderbag is the countries that need it are usually countries with limited resources.
People don't know about food safety and if they get sick from dysentery, they often die.
I would like to know what the temperature of the food was when they removed it from the Wonderbag.
People in indigent countries will not be keeping an eye on time for when the food is done or simply staying warm.
Bacteria on food start to multiply rapidly at any temperature below 140 F/60 C.
You can't open the bag to check for food doneness or you'll lose any residual heat.
Good idea but I don't think it's that practical for people in third world countries.
It looks more like something that privileged people would purchase for recreation.
I LOVE BEN!!

If I'm not mistaken it's an oversized thermos flask, which does a worse job then one because after a few hours it cooled down to eating temperature from boiling. I mean it sure is a cool thing for all these People in africa but I'm not sure if a thermosbox or bag couldn't do the same thing…

In the netherlands thy have them for manny years. Its cald a haybox. A box filled with hay to kook your food and to keep warm. So its not a new idea but a vafiation of an old one

In Norway, we have something called "dynegrøt", "duvet porridge" , which is basically, boil up some rice grain with water and milk, and pack it into a duvet for 3-4 hours. Seems like a similar concept!

This is a modern take on a very old cooking method. I watched a docu-series on the BBC years ago where a group of historians 'lived' the life of farmers in a particular era in British history. Historian Ruth Goodwin put a pot in a wooden box lined with straw and blankets with a lid on top. I was amazed at how well it worked. Life on the Farm can be found on Youtube and each season they advance in time until WW2. It was seriously fascinating.

I would just like to say that a "slow cooker" is a tool that slowly cooks your food, you put your food in and it cooks it slowly. the wonderbag is clearly just an insulation bag to keep food warm. its not a slow cooker, it doesnt cook anything. it keeps things warm. i just dont get how it can be called a slow cooker
