I made such an exciting discovery today i couldnt wait to share it with you. Today I made caramel in my Wonderbag!! Now if you dont know this already ..Condensed Milk boiled for 3 hours turns into caramel which is delicious on deserts and cakes. Many living abroad dont have this yummy caramel available. It is also more expensive than condensed milk. Once Again Wonderbag saving you money. Heres how i cut 3 hours of stove time and continuous boiling and refilling water into 45 minutes on stove. Fill your pot with water and bring to boil. Place closed can of condensed milk inside water. Allow to boil on medium heat for 45 minutes. Place sealed pot in Wonderbag for 5-6 hours.. (or overnight) Delicious creamy caramel ready for use! Try it it works!

Over the past year I have been overwhelmed with positive feedback from successful Wonderbag users. With every product comes criticism and skepticism and its so important to get beyond that to use the Wonderbag successfully. Here are some of the Negative Feedback or "Duds" i have received and this my "diagnosis" . If you have any feedback negative or positive please do not hesitate to contact me:
Firstly Read this checklist to determine whether you using the product correctly: 1. The pot and its lid must be made of metal. (Stainless steel, Aluminium, etc). Glass Lids will not suffice. Heat is retained better in metal. 2. Fill your pot with food when cooking with the Wonderbag. Use Size appropriate pot for the amount of food you cooking. 3. Do NOT open the pot and disrupt the cooking process while it should be in the Wonderbag. It will result in uncooked food. 4.Cook dense foods in your Wonderbag that has enough liquid to produce steam, eg stews, bredies, curries with potatoes, beans, carbo dishes like breyani, Akni, couscous, pasta. Experiment with Roast and more complicated foods later after you got the knack of it. 5. Be Forgiving with the Wonderbag at first. It takes trial and error to get your dishes perfect. Once you've mastered it you will cook no other way. 6.Reduce Water usage in wonderbag. Feedback from Clients: Query: The Wonderbag didnt keep my food warm. I placed the food into the Wonderbag when it was lukewarm and expected it to remain lukewarm for hours. Response: The Wonderbag requires the pot to be piping hot straight from the stove before placing it into the Wonderbag. At the lukewarm pot had lost most of its heat and therefore the food became cold. At times the pot will feel lukewarm but the food inside especially in the middle is already cold. It is Dangerous to put a lukewarm pot into the WOnderbag as it breeds bacteria. Rather place in fridge. Query: My meat didn't cook soft in Wonderbag however the potatoes were soft. Response After through the checklist with the client, i discovered that she added water while the pot was in the Wonderbag disrupting the cooking process resulting in tough meat. Query: My Wonderbag was burnt what do i do? Response: Your Wonderbag is not guaranteed for so burn take precaution when placing a pot inside. Place a thick newspaper/oven glove or towel in base. In the meantime patch it up and its good to go. Query: My Pasta came mushy in the Wonderbag Response: When cooking pasta in the Wonderbag the pasta just needs a boil and place in Wnderbag. If you leave too much water in the pasta it will continue to absorb the water and result in mushy pasta.. i would just bring to boil and place half cooked drained pasta into prepared sauce then place in Wonderbag to continue steaming to perfection. Please read the FAQ Section for further dos and donts to get the best benefit out of the Wonderbag. From your butcher request they remove the gland in the leg as it may not kill you but it changes the taste of the leg to be more gamey. Make slits in the flesh all over the leg and in each slit place a clove and a piece of fresh garlic. sprinkle salt, pepper, rosemary, (i used mixes herbs) and squeeze the juice of 1 Orange all over the leg. Allow to marinate for a few hours. Brown leg in a pan on both sides Put it a slightly deeper pot with 2 quartered onions and a few carrots and 1 cup of water. Please note : the pot shouldn't be too big as the empty space in the pot will cause the pot to lose heat. 30 minutes. I always use the timer on my stove..or if you dont have one use the timer on your phone. Placed in the Wonderbag before going to bed around 11ish Leg Roast Cooking in Bag Overnight Next morning at 7am i was sooo excited ...WOW Cooked!! Sliced it up ....OOooo tender and D.E.V.I.N.E The leftover stock i reduced on high heat to make a gravy. Pureed the carrots and onions and threw it back. If its not thick enough add some brown onion soup or maizena to thicken. Pour over Slices of Leg and serve. I find it best to slice the leg before serving because then its not that everyone is hacking the leg to pieces..its more controlled slices.and its more juicier cos all the slices are covered in yummy gravy. This Cooking table is a guideline for how long the food type you cooking needs to be on the stove and bag for optimal results. I have found that longer time on the stove means less time in the bag!
Being a Housewife /Fulltime mom/house executive has its own charms. I cant count how many times i'm on my way to run errands and then that nagging feeling hits me... "Have i left the stove on" It will nag me to a point where i turn around and drive home again. wasting valuable time. With the Wonderbag™ your stove only stays on for a few minutes to kick start the cooking process and you put it off and place your pot inside the Wonderbag™ which is a *Heat Retaining Slow Cooker* and uses NO ENERGY btw..So your Wonderbag™ does all the work and you never have to worry about that stove being on again.. |
