We discover that Salty Lass is a floating bomb as we have a leak in our butane gas system. Very luckily for us, the leak is in the best possible place.

So, once we stop tossing our butane overboard, we look at ways to use less of it using Mr D's thermal cooker - and Prudence interferes as usual....

The model we purchased was the 3 litre version with extra top-pot and you can see them all at

https://mrdscookware.co.uk/product-ca...

Pricey, but we expect to get our money back in reduced gas bills.

in sailing there's lots and lots of ways

in which you get bit

currently the way to will get bit is I'm

on the hunt for gas thirdly some things

never change

I hunt for gas continues my new gas

cylinder that I put in last week is

empty we have a gas leak we are going to

make a beef and share it so high or

casserole and no you are not getting

involved in it your help is not needed

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

we have a gas problem one of our

cylinders distended itself in a few days

so we seem to have the Catholic so I'm

checking the hose and I'm using dish

soap it's all in soapy water I'm just

rubbing it on find all the joints the

idea is to follow this back into the

ship into the boat and see if I can find

any spaces where it's leaking and this

seems all right

does it seem to be any problems on this

end so this is looking good

or close in some directions so now we're

not getting that Lake but if this opens

up just a little bit you can see here

Malika started so for now I put in this

closed over in the girls locker this is

why the guest Locker has slot at the

bottom for to let a cow sight and that

then guess he goes over the back end of

the boat because it's heavier than air

the soon became apparent the Jubilee

clips are something of a courtesy item

the Gauss line was on so tight I

couldn't get it off and in the end had

resort to Sunday night

so got some nice new hose pretty young

for this no I heard the reverse problem

the hose was such a close fit on the bar

and I couldn't actually get it on in the

end I had to resort to Teflon tears even

if the tap will tip getting it almost

something of a struggle

I put the Jubilee clip my god there's

something of a courtesy item I don't

think it was actually needed

what's that who was the song it was

never coming up again next up was the

nightmare stage I had to do the whole

thing all over again

in a confined space with a fitting I

couldn't move I used the old hose to

measure the length of the new hose and

then cut it more teflon tape was applied

to the Barb in the locker and then the

whole struggle began of getting the gas

hose onto that

pretty much evenly pepper felt like a

kind of victory

I put the bottle back on repressurize

the system and then tested for leaks I

didn't find any from the locker all the

way to the cooker is a copper pipe it

seemed to be fine and then I tested the

flexible hosing behind the cooker as

well it was fine

problem was that the hose looks alright

jakajan inspection but if you put the

bottle in the wrong way and twist the

hose look at all these cracks it open up

and one of these is leaking sill

casually son

today I received this box in the post

and let's have a look

these thermal cooker Wow and we're

hoping this will cut down gas

consumption and stuff we've got the

instruction book which is hope it is I

suspect this is the steel steel top

particles inside it's a cardboard so the

way this works is you put this on your

cooker and you cook you dinner in it on

this house Tyron bottom pulls heat I

mean your dinner is bubbling away

merrily you put it inside this that's

being a vacuum slave like a vacuum

thermos flask open mid time and then you

use the bubble away in here for three or

four hours or whatever it takes when you

get to the end of your Posse to be

opened up it's so cooking out comes a

ruling on this package here

yes it's my kitchen like goat cheese for

everything just my belly this is a

little insert the idea is you put

vegetables and things in and it can sit

on top inside like that so you can do

your customer all sauces and things like

DISA looks the business bear very shiny

today I'm going to use mr. D's thermal

cooker for the first time we've not used

it before we are going to make a beef

and share it so high or casserole and no

you are not getting involved in it your

help is not needed sorry

and where was I oh yes beefing sure it's

a casserole and we're gonna see how it

works like so I'm assuming that the

penguin doesn't interfere let's get on

with it please my ingredients I've got

some truths and sausage I've got some

beef I've got a little bit of dried

mixed herbs onion some garlic a beef

stock cube bit of tomato puree and some

potatoes this Lots all going together

and will go in the bottom of mr. D's

thermal cooker and the potatoes will go

in the top of mr. D's thermal cooker

so we have our bits and bobs of garlic

the onion sure it's so I was gonna do

something with this but it's just not

gonna work out the way I thought I've

got some stock cube and I've got my

potatoes which I've diced this is going

to be mashed potatoes so I'm not too

worried about it so I'm gonna put

boiling water in here and bring it up to

heat and I'm going to put this lot in

the bottom part and get it up to heat as

well

now I'll just turn on the cabin

ventilation so just put the extractor

hood on

[Music]

all right soup teaspoon of Rick's hurts

a tablespoon of tomato puree no

supporting water

[Music]

and then heaps teaspoon of cornflour mix

with a bit of water

[Music]

right so let's sum ours later and this

shouldn't I be done so we're gonna open

it for the first time let me have a look

bad this is the potatoes will hopefully

be cooked through I'm gonna turn these

into it mash right so just got a drain

this water off should be a nice fit that

lid well I certainly look cooked to me

yeah they look calm no towel totally

cooked like that word bitter butter you

can now use the masher

yeah oh that's very cool so how long

were they in there for bet something

over two hours too long then no really

that's fine

that's done

this is our stew yes it hasn't thickened

like I want to but then I suppose it's

because it you can't evaporate it you

know the main so what I might do is just

heat this a bit a bit of thickening into

it yeah coz I can see you mean it hasn't

you know there's there's no evaporation

the sauce isn't gonna thicken by being

reduced but would be great for soups

though brilliant for sakes occurs this

is exactly the kind of consistency that

you'd want for soup yep so maybe we need

just put less liquid into it exactly so

I'll get some cornflour I'm gonna get

this heated up and then will thicken it

hmm so here we go and I think one less

note of this is juices that come out of

the meat go into the gravy if you put a

lot of juice in it's got nowhere to go

at of a Priya right so don't put

too much liquid in well why'd you get a

very very runny gravy but it's our first

time use it and what the heck the

flavors are gorgeous though babe

absolutely meat nice and tender

the meat is just flakes away it's so

tender and I love the turret so with the

beef it was a real good flavor but when

you did it in the oven just that thicker

gravy just made it you know just maybe

that streets ahead so like you say we

just need to have another experiment

that well on the way to a
