The efficiency of your hay box will however be effected depending on the environment it is working in i. It depends on what you’re cooking but LOW is best for when you need to leave a large joint of meat to cook all day (8-10 hours is fine), and HIGH for when you need it to be ready a bit quicker than that, but still have a while to go before it’s time to eat (say about 4-6 hours on average). Try mouth-watering, melt in your mouth BBQ pulled-pork, lasagne, light and fluffy cakes, and even chocolate fudge! my husband unpacked it and without thinking tipped it over and the crock broke so now I have a second one that is not totally usable.

We bought it cheaply a few years ago now – I wanted to see if I’d use it enough to warrant investing in a better quality item – and it’s cheap manufacture is probably why it broke so easily now. Just like your outdoor clothing if the hay gets damp it won’t insulate half as well so dry the intended materials first – I heated the empty dutch oven first in the oven then stuffed it in the box with the damp hay, this quickly expelled the moisture and although this used extra fuel it only needs doing the first time round as you can re-use the same hay each time! All you need to do is pop all of your ingredients in, put on the lid, set the temperature, and leave it to get to work.Seller was very quick to respond to my inquiry and created a custom sized cover to accommodate my crock pot.

Over the Atlantic in America they too adopted this handy DIY device for eking out rationed fuel during the Great depression and like us during WWII also. So anyway, I’ve essentially got a broken heavy ceramic pot (which will probably be broken up further into crocks for big outdoor planters), a metal-rimmed glass lid (which will probably be used as a generic pan lid) and the heater-housing, a bowl-shaped (but not sealed) electrical device that heats things slowly and cheaply over a long time.
