Cocoon, an eco-friendly Norwegian cooking pot!

Ancestral cooking methods to prepare delicious dishes, with energy savings of up to 70%.

Developer of a whole range of solar ovens, Solar Brother announces the distribution of the Norwegian Cocoon cooking pot, which allows you to continue cooking all your dishes without the need for additional energy, after boiling them in a saucepan on a stove, or another ever more ecological solution on a Solar Brother Sungood solar oven to prepare a meal without the need for electricity or gas.

The Norwegian pot is an environmentally-friendly slow cooker that reduces energy consumption by up to 70%. Simply bring the food to the boil before transferring the pan to the Norwegian kettle: cooking is then completed safely, without supervision or any other energy input. The revolutionary yet age-old heat-retention design requires no batteries, plugs or electricity. It’s a simple innovation that saves money and the planet.

Thanks to its practical, portable functionality, Cocon makes it easy to cook delicious, healthy meals for the whole family to enjoy!

Cocoon, it’s easy in practice

– Bring the saucepan (or stewpot) to the boil on a solar stove or oven.
– Place the dish in the Norwegian pot and close with the lid… The dish cooks “à l’étouffée”.
– Leave to simmer for several hours; the temperature will only drop very slowly (see recommended times below).

Cooking time with a Norwegian pot
