The magical function of the thermos: cooking noodles, cooking porridge, cooking eggs.

For office workers, what to eat for breakfast and lunch every day is a very tangled thing. Is there a fresh, easy and cost-effective way to eat good things? It is circulated on the Internet that you can cook noodles in a vacuum flask, which is not only simple and easy, but also super economical.

Can you cook noodles with a vacuum flask? This sounds incredible, and the reporter from the Curious Lab decided to do this experiment by hand. Unexpectedly, it worked. A bowl of noodles was "cooked" in 20 minutes, a bowl of black rice and red date porridge was "cooked" in an hour and a half, and an egg was "cooked" in 60 minutes.

Experiment 1: Cooking noodles in a vacuum flask

Experimental props: thermos cup, electric kettle, noodles, eggs, a green vegetable

Before the experiment, the reporter went to the supermarket and bought a vacuum travel insulation pot. Later, the reporter bought vegetables and noodles, ready to start experiments.

Experiment procedure:

1. Boil a pot of boiling water with an electric kettle;

2. The reporter pours half a cup of boiling water in the thermos cup, and then puts a handful of dried noodles in the cup. The amount depends on the person's food intake and the size of the thermos cup. The reporter puts about a quarter of the 400g noodles;

3. Break the egg, pour the yolk and egg white into the cup; 4. Tear a little green vegetables by hand, add salt and MSG, etc., and then cover the cup.

It was 11 o'clock in the morning. Ten minutes later, the reporter opened the thermos and first smelled a fresh smell of green vegetables. The reporter poured the noodles into the bowl and observed it carefully. The noodles appeared to be cooked, and the vegetables were already cooked, but the egg yolk had not completely solidified, and it looked like it was ripe. In order to make the taste better, the reporter added some old godmothers in.

The reporter tasted it and it tasted really good. The noodles were soft and smooth. Perhaps it was because of the small space in the vacuum flask and uneven heating of the noodles. Some of the noodles had a slightly harder taste, and several noodles were stuck together. However, it was generally successful. The reporter calculated the cost. An egg is 50 cents, a handful of noodles is 80 cents, and a vegetable is 40 cents. The total is only 1.7 yuan, and you can eat a bowl of noodles that taste good.

Some people don't like to eat noodles. Can they cook porridge besides cooking noodles in a vacuum flask? Therefore, the reporter decided to "cook" a bowl of black rice and red date porridge with a vacuum flask.

Experiment 2: Cooking black rice and red dates porridge

Experimental props: vacuum flask, electric kettle, rice, black rice, red dates

The reporter still used an electric kettle to boil a pot of boiling water. After washing the rice and black rice, put them in a thermos cup, put two red dates, pour in boiling water, and cover the cup. It was exactly 12 noon at this time. An hour later, the reporter uncovered the lid of the thermos cup and smelled a faint scent of red dates. The reporter stirred with chopsticks and felt that the porridge was not very thick at this time, so he closed the lid and simmered for another half an hour.

After half an hour, the reporter opened the lid of the vacuum flask. At this time, the aroma of red dates was already very strong, so the reporter poured black rice porridge into the bowl, and saw that the black rice and rice had been completely "cooked" and expanded, and the red dates were also boiled. . The reporter put two rock candy in it and tasted it. It tasted really good.

Later, the reporter took another egg for experiment, and after 60 minutes, the egg was also cooked.

It seems that using a thermos cup whether to "cook" noodles or "cook" porridge, it works, and it tastes good. Busy office workers, if you are used to eating in the canteen and are afraid that it will cost a lot to go to the restaurant, you can try using a vacuum flask for lunch!
