Many people struggle in areas without electricity, or to keep bills down. A great way - especially in squatter camps and areas with minimal facilities for full electricity - is to build a hot box for food. Teresa explains in her ehow article, that a hot box can keep cold food cold, and hot food hot. It is also an alternative to using regular stoves or ovens. A hot box can be used in combination with a stove top and cooking container. The items needed are a large cardboard box, towels, medium cardboard box, small blankets, large pot and newspaper. Teresa goes on to explain step by step how to build a hot box for food. This is an excellent way to cook food for families who are undergoing difficult times. Please find the link to the ehow article at the bottom of this blog post.
Many hot box recipes are available, such as for brown and white rice; stews and soups. Please find links to recipes. Working in Charity brings us in contact with people needing practical guidance and help with difficult circumstances. Why not print out the instructions to the hot box and give them around? They can really make a big difference ...
