What if you could cook dinner using less energy… and make the cooker yourself?

Meet Pam, our sewing whizz, who’ll be showing you how to create your own Thermal Cooking Bag at the Stirling Reuse Hub on 10th June.

A thermal cooker works by trapping heat and insulation around a pot after it’s been brought to temperature. Instead of continuing to use energy on the hob, the retained heat keeps working for you.

It’s a simple idea that’s been used around the world for generations and it’s surprisingly effective.

Even better? You’ll make your own thermal cooking bag using reclaimed materials and take it home at the end of the day.

✔ Learn a practical sewing project
✔ Discover an energy-saving cooking technique
✔ Reuse materials that might otherwise go to waste
✔ Leave with a finished thermal cooker

Places are limited and the workshop takes place on Wednesday 10th June.
