Leave it to an Irish mammy to come up with a clever idea to save energy in the kitchen — and it could be a great gift for Irish dads. Geraldine Hegarty says the idea for her invention, The Cooking Cosy, was forged from a happy accident as a result of disorganisation and basic laws of absorption. "After a badly timed dinner preparation had to be abandoned midstream, my spiral pasta had become huge after absorbing the hot water. The cold and grossly overcooked pasta caused annoyance but also a glimmer of curiosity about its ability to cook with the ring turned off," explains Geraldine. With the Cooking Cosy, instead of simmering after bringing food to the boil, you remove the saucepan, place it on an insulating mat and cover with the cosy, the food will cook perfectly. We love this energy-saving, environmentally friendly method. Yours for €19.99 from www.cookingcosy.com.
