What to eat when the power is out? Forget convenience foods.
One of the most difficult times comes when I am unable to cook meals for myself. Breakfast cereals, cans of soup, and noodles-in-a-cup are never okay for me to eat. You guessed it -- they all have gluten in them. To stay healthy, I have to be able to cook my food from scratch. Hearty meals of meat and veggies are what I live on day in and day out, three meals a day. (Admittedly, it isn't a bad way to eat!)
When Hurricane Irene knocked our power out, I couldn't live off a diet of prepackaged snacks and convenience foods. And emergency dehydrated meals were off limits for me, too. Almost all of those things contain gluten. I had to be able to cook myself meals from scratch, or I'd be going hungry until the power came back on.
Thankfully our family recently invested in a Crisis Cooker. I knew the cooker would come in handy one day. I just had no idea it would pay for itself this quickly!
While the power was out for a few days, I was able to cook myself healthy, gluten-free meals with absolutely no problem. It was just as easy as cooking on my traditional kitchen stove. I didn't miss a meal, and the work was easy. Color me happy!
To say I love the Crisis Cooker is a bit of an understatement. This simple piece of equipment is simply amazing! I highly recommend that every person with gluten intolerance or celiac disease get one...but really, anybody would love having this multipurpose cooker around.
A real cooking powerhouse
The Crisis Cooker is a charcoal, wood, and propane cooker that allows you to cook in a highly efficient manner, using just a small amount of fuel. We like to use the charcoal briquettes because they're cheap, easy to store, and we've always got plenty on hand. With as little as 6 charcoal briquettes, we can boil, grill, fry, and bake anything at all. I was amazed to find out that a 25-pound bag of charcoal briquettes will fuel your cooker for three weeks.
Don't have
charcoal? No problem. You can use firewood bundles or scrap wood to fuel your Crisis Cooker. In a
true emergency or survival situation, you can use a handful of sticks from your
yard to fuel your cooker or those extra 2X4's you've got sitting out back in
the shed! The cooker can also use propane, should you want to harness the
powerful 30,000 BTU it gives.
The cooker easily switches from charcoal to propane to wood in just a matter of seconds. It's truly versatile. No matter which fuel you choose, the Crisis Cooker uses less than one tenth of the fuel you would need to use in a conventional charcoal grill, making it a very affordable option for families like ours.
How Does It Work?
Throw in a few briquettes, light them, and you're cooking in as little as 5 minutes. Once the cooker is warm and ready, just pop in your meat, potatoes, and veggies. In less than an hour, your dinner will be hot and ready to enjoy. Cook anything you'd prepare in your regular oven - you can even cook a Thanksgiving turkey on your Crisis Cooker.
The patented heat chamber is the secret behind the efficiency of the Crisis Cooker. It conducts heat 10 times more efficiently than a conventional stove. The design also has special air vents that adjust to guarantee maximum heat efficiency. Because the cooker is so efficient, there is almost no heat on the side or bottom of the vent, making it a safe choice for families everywhere. You don't have to worry about using it around toddlers and little ones - the unique design makes it almost impossible to tip over.
Have Stove, Will Travel
The Crisis Cooker is an obvious choice for emergency situations, but it is so versatile it can be used for many other activities as well. The cooker is completely portable and weighs only 26 pounds, making it easy to take anywhere. Use it as a portable barbeque at your next family picnic. Take it along with you when camping or enjoying the great outdoors. And, now that football season is back again, the Crisis Cooker is the ultimate tailgating stove...you'll be serving up burgers and brats for everyone with this amazing stove!
You won't need to buy any other special equipment in order to use this stove. Use any size frying pan or griddle you've got laying around your kitchen. The Crisis Cooker will also hold up to an 18-quart pot so you'll be able to cook your soups, stews, and chilis with ease. In an emergency, boiling water and sterilizing was never so easy.
I don't know about you, but after cooking a big meal, the last thing I want to do is spend time cleaning up the kitchen. I was happy when I found out that the cooker is extremely easy and painless to clean. All you'll need to do is dump out the coals and wipe down the inside of the cooker. That's it.
Your Crisis Cooker (which comes with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty, by the way) comes fully assembled and is ready to use whenever you need it. It sets up instantly, and can be used any where at any time. In a true emergency situation, there's no reason to panic about cooking meals for you and your family. All you'll have to do is find a few pieces of wood and you're ready to go.
Because it's so versatile, the Crisis Cooker is the ultimate in multipurpose and emergency cooking stoves. With three different fuel options, you'll have food in any situation or circumstance. It's the peace of mind my family needed for eating well and staying healthy in short or long-term emergency situations.
