Abstract:
The research is concerned with the construction of a power saving cooking bag from saw dust,
getting temperatures and time taken for different food items to get ready like sweet potatoes,
matooke, pasted ground nuts, rice, meat, beans. Matooke was found to take 1 hour and 10 minutes to become ready, sweet potatoes took 2 hours to
become ready, pasted ground nuts took 50 minutes to become ready, meat took 2 hours to become ready, rice took 1 hour to become ready and beans took 4 hours and 30 minutes to become ready. Matooke was found to taste better when cooked using a power saving cooking bag. Sweet potatoes were found half ready when cooked using a power saving cooking bag.
This research also involves the nature of the graphs of temperature and time of the food cooked
using a power saving cooking bag.
