This is the first podcast newsletter from Mr D - the thermal cook.
Mr D looks at a use for the Seville Oranges (that are now in the shops in UK) from around 1900………but the result does take him 30 hours. He learns how Anne Letton fed a hungry crew of 5 as they crossed the Atlantic. What is the best size thermal cooker for you? He talks to his friend Alan down under. Plus has a recipe, with a Far Eastern twist, for pumpkins.

Morning all.
This time next week in UK it will be Christmas Day and for some of you it will be almost over. Don’t forget your thermal cooker can play a useful role in cooking items such as boiled potatoes, carrots and other root vegetable.
It also will keep things nice and hot for hours. Just remember to warm the outer container first. What I always do is put some boiling water in the inner pot, place it in the outer container and shut the lid before using. I also use this method if cooking a small amount to maximise the heat retention time.
Have you any tips that might be of help next week?
All the best Mr D

If you haven’t made your Christmas cake or Christmas pudding yet there is still time to do so in your thermal cooker.
They only need around 35 minutes of simmering and then cook without power over night. That is a saving of around 3.5 hours of oven fuel.
For the recipes go to my blog and choose “recipes”.

Last weekend Jen made three Christmas cakes in our Mr D’s® Thermal Cookers for the Gateway stand at the Brockenhurst (in the New Forest, Hampshire) Christmas evening this Friday 2nd. December 2011.
The Brockenhurst Gateway Club http://
This year for the first time the club are having a stand where they will be giving out free Christmas cake and mulled fruit juice which will be kept hot in a Mr D’s® Thermal Cooker.
If you are able to come the details are – 18.00 -20.00 to enjoy a fun evening; bring the children to hopefully meet Santa; see the Christmas lights switched on; join in the seasonal activities, late night shopping and of course try some of the Christmas cake and mulled juice.

Yesterday, on my return from China I collected our next shipment of 4.5L thermal cooker from the shipping company.
I have since picking them up been gradually getting through the list of people who had wanted to know when the cookers were back in stock. As you can imagine letting everyone know is quite a task but the list is slowly going down.
If by any chance I have missed you, please forgive me, and either give me a ring or go to the website Mr D’s® Cookware.
