Fuel Saver Basket

My friend Luan and I put together these slow cooker baskets recently to give to her friend 
for a  test run. In Sudan it's called a Marriage Saver Basket. The concept is that you cook 
your food or sauce on a hot fire for 30-40 minutes. After that you wrap the pot with tight 
fitting lid in cloth and stick it in the basket snug and tight. The grass keeps the heat in and 
acts as a slow cooker. When you wake in the morning or come home after work the food or 
beans etc. are soft and warm, ready for final preparations. All to help to save firewood, 
charcoal and fuel for cookers. 
We hope it can be not only a money saver but a money maker!
