Hay box of the 21st century

Traditional cooking, modernly rediscovered

The EcoStoof® brings the age-old technique of the hay box into the 21st century. The principle is as simple as it is brilliant: briefly bring your dish to a boil, place the pot in the high-quality insulated EcoStoof®, and let the residual heat do the work. Your meal will continue to cook on its own — without gas, electricity, or constant supervision.

Step-by-step: From heat to table

  1. Prepare your dish: Add your ingredients and bring everything to a boil on your stove.
  2. Remove the pot from the heat: Once the dish is thoroughly hot, turn off the heat source. The pot now contains enough energy to cook itself.
  3. Place the pot: Lay a (protective) cloth in the EcoStoof® and place the hot pot on top. Wrap the cloth around the pot to protect the inside.
  4. Close the insulation: Pull the cords tightly so that the insulation fits snugly.
  5. Let it rest: The EcoStoof® now does the work.
    - Rice, fish, vegetables: 30–60 minutes.
    - Stewed meat and beans: Several hours (for cooking times longer than 3 hours, briefly reheat in between).
  6. Serve and enjoy: Remove the pot from the EcoStoof® (beware: it will still be very hot!) and enjoy a meal full of flavour.

The technology behind the heat

Insulation like a warm winter coat

The EcoStoof® works like a high-performance ski jacket for your pot. Thanks to our patented layers, the heat remains trapped for hours, allowing your food to cook slowly and evenly at a low temperature.

  • EcoThermFill®: Filling made from recycled textile fibers for maximum thermal barrier.
  • EcoStoof Thermoshield®: An innovative layer that reflects infrared heat back into the pot.
  • Durable base: Equipped with insulating cork and recycled vegan felt (ReFelt).

Why cook with the EcoStoof®?

  • More peace of mind: You don't have to stay by the stove. Your food cannot burn or boil over.
  • Healthier: The low temperature better preserves vitamins and minerals.
  • Save immediately: Reduce your energy consumption while cooking by an average of 30%.
  • Cook anywhere: Ideal for the kitchen, but also for camping, on a boat, or during a picnic.

Practical Tips & Safety

  • Which pot? Your own pots are fine (stainless steel, cast iron, or enamel). The EcoStoof® is suitable for pots up to 100°C. Please note: pots used for deep-frying are too hot and can damage the lining.
  • Protection: Always use a tea towel or the special EcoStoof® protective cloth to prevent stains on the lining.
  • Safety: If your dish remains in the slow cooker for more than 5 hours? Reheat it to at least 70°C before serving.
