I've only read about this, but am really interested to do some experimentation, NOW, before any emergency situation, during which time, it would really be useful to know how to cook a HOT meal without having to plug in a generator for any extended time period.
The idea is to get a quality wide-mouthed thermos and prepare the meal with boiling hot water MANY hours before it will be eaten.
An easy example is oatmeal, you prepare it for breakfast the night before in a thermos which then slow cooks it overnight.
Here is one of many interesting URLs about THERMOS COOKING, and provides alot of precise details:

Yep, I'm actually gonna spend the twenty-five bucks to see how this works out - LOL, at least the oatmeal is super inexpensive, pennies per serving, right?
One person experienced with this mode of cooking oatmeal claims that normally the next morning her breakfast oatmeal SLIDES out the thermos - that sure makes for easy cleaning, no?
