I've had some limited success with thermos cooking, including a really delicious short rib and veggie stew, rice, and pasta. Tonight I'm trying spaghetti sauce using a modified version of this recipe...How to Make Spaghetti Sauce Using Tomato Sauce
I started with a 17 oz Stanley Food Jar, so that is the room I had available. I used the following ingredients.
Followed the directions at the link up to the simmering. I preheated the Food Jar with boiling water. Once the sauce was lightly boiling, I simmered it for 5 minutes, then dumped the preheating water out of the Food Jar and added the sauce. It is now resting on it's side covered with a towel for 3 hours.
At 2:30 I'll preheat a full sized 1.1qt Stanley Classic, then boil 4 cups of water in the microwave. Dump the preheating water, add a bundle of spaghetti about the diameter of a quarter, a tablespoon of olive oil and the boiling water, cap it and set it on its side for 20-30 minutes.
When it is done and strained, dinner is served.
I've done spaghetti many times now...I'd let you know how the sauce turns out.
Going to try dehydrating and grinding the tomato paste to reduce waste...not tonight, but perhaps tomorrow.
