My "haybox" is a coolbox into which I half stuff an old sleeping bag, put a hot water bottle, then then the pot then stuff the remaining sleeping bag on top. Then the lid obviously.

How about a simple veggie casserole. Slice all veggie thinly, bring to the boil and then cover and straight into the haybox, all day. If yu want to add chickpeas or some other pulse, you will need to boil them hard for 10 minutes before transferring to the haybox.

see? what did I tell you yesterday Tea?

make sure it's really hot before it goes in the haybox.

I have "victorian kitchen" on dvd and one of the episodes in that shows a haybox and a stew to go in it if ya wanna borrow it.
