Saving fuel when cooking

Here is a way to save fuel when cooking.

Whenever I cook pasta, I bring the water to a boil, add the pasta,return the water to a boil, then remove the pot from the stove. Then set the hot pot on a bandana or tshirt and wrap the pot in the cloth. Wait about 10 minutes and the pasta is still cooked normally.

I also use about 1/2 to 1/3 less water than the recommended two cups and then the pasta will soak up all the water, leaving less to drian out. Or I will ad instant potatoes,extra cheese or crackers/tortilla chips to the extra water and make a cassarole dish out of it.

I also like to add tuna to the normal pot of Mac & Chs to make a heartier pot of dinner.

Also you can soak dry pasta in cold water for about 30 minutes prior to eating and then just add the cheese packet. It is cold,yes, but still a filling dinner if you don't want to carry a stove.

Also take chicken Bullion cubes to add to the hot water before the pasta, it makes the food taste even better and can be used in the place of salt.
