In a survival situation, it’s important to use the
most effective solution that will create a positive difference in your
situation. It’s the positive things you do that will help to offset the
negative effects of any crisis. During any crisis, knowing a range of different options will allow you to make the most
efficient choice when conserving your available resources. This is quite often
a simple combination of the different options that are available which will
save time and effort.
Cooking in a crisis can use up
valuable resources very quickly. The preparation of meals can be a time
consuming activity that can’t be avoided easily. Cooking can make your efforts
more productive if you realize that there is a wide range of options to help
keep the process simple and efficient by using a combination of cooking methods.
Certain cooking options, such as
using solar power, can vary widely depending upon your geographic location but
there are several that work great in combination with each other in spite of
this fact. Different means of cooking can be integrated into a “cooking system”
that will allow you a wider range of choice and additional options for cooking
in a crisis. Any “cooking system” you can design using available your available
resources will help you in cooking more efficiently. By using different cooking
methods in combination, a significant savings in your available resources can
be achieved. This can result in a dramatic difference when you are cooking
during a crisis.
Does your meal need to be cooked or
simply “warmed up”? Perhaps it just needs to be simmered and a “candle powered”
stove will do the job. It may be as simple as using an insulated cooker to
finish the cooking process that may help to conserve your resources. Always
consider your options when cooking in a crisis; it can help you conserve
valuable resources when they may be limited.
Got “cooking system” for a crisis?

I keep several options open. From simple alcohol Trangia burners, to Optimus and Coleman white gas single burners. Bar-B-Que pit with about a cord of wood is stacked in the back. And finally propane stove in garage.
A lot of options, but long term SOLUTION - not yet. Fuel acquisition will become a problem (unfortunately, everyone has to eat).
Gaining foods that take little or no cooking - that would be very helpful.

It sounds as if you've already have a lot of viable alternatives. Just the fact that you've already realized the need for a number of different alternatives is great.
Thanks anon.

The distinction between cooking and simply warming up is definitely a distinction I hadn't considered. Thanks for bringing it up.

Depending upon the type of food item, a full cook may not be necessary and will give you an opportunity to save resources that might be limited.
Thanks.
