Product information
Wonderbag's clever insulating properties allow food that has been brought to the boil to finish cooking while in the bag. This greatly reduces the use of additional energy. Made with colourful fabric and lined with a more resistant fabric, this bag includes a toggle for more convenient closing. The original Wonderbag is insulated with PU foam with a fire retardant solid foam base.
- Heat Retaining Medium Slow Cooker
- Ideal for outdoor activities and camping as it is portable, lightweight, and plug-free. Can be used to cook food, keep it warm, or even keep food and drinks cold
- Cooks and keeps food hot for up to 8 hours
- Significantly reduces a family's fuel usage by allowing food to finish cooking over a few hours after being brought to a boil, saving money and electricity
- Repurposed chipped foam in the bag and its fuel-saving properties make it environmentally-friendly and sustainable
- It reduces accidents and fire hazards in the kitchen as stoves are used less frequently
- Reduces time spent cooking, providing more time for other activities.
- Insulating a pot in a Wonderbag reduces evaporation, requiring less water for cooking
- Features a Shwe-shwe print on the outside and inside, made from a strong and durable material blend
- A portion of all proceeds goes to the Wonderbag Foundation, supporting Wonderfeasts and subsidizing Wonderbags for vulnerable and impoverished communities in Africa
Note: This product is not watertight, and if knocked over, the contents are likely to spill out. Let the Wonderbag work its magic away from children.

About Wonderbag

Voted one of the world's Top 50 Genius Companies by Time Magazine. Founded by Sarah Collins in 2008, the Wonderbag was developed as a solution to the South African energy shortage forcing blackouts across the country — with the aim of allowing families to continue cooking daily meals even with the absence of power. Inspired by a method her grandmother had used in the 1970s to help save power when cooking, this social enterprise is empowering communities around the world.

What with the price of electricity and frequent power shedding, I couldn't have hoped for a better item. So thrilled, I got one for my sister in Australia too :)

I would recommend this product to a friend.

The Wonderbag works really well. Be sure to bring your food to a good boil and put away in the Wonderbag. A couple of hours later you will have a lovely meal. Might need to warm to a good serving temperature. Tastes develop well and it gives you more free time away from cooking.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

I don't think this is as good as the old 'wonderboxes'
After 3-4 hours food isn't cooked properly, rice is stodgy, I don't know, should I be cooking it for longer than 4 hours?

I would not recommend this product to a friend.

The Wonderbag makes life so easy. You bring your food (grains, beans, whatever) to boil on the stove, pop it in the Wonderbag and forget about it. Until it's time to eat, that is. And then you open it up and take out your perfectly cooked food. It makes week night dinner a breeze. Plus, you save a lot of electricity.

The wonderbag works wonderfully, especially for camping. Cooks rice and pasta beautifully, keeps food warm for a long time and makes an excellent chicken potjie. This is my 2nd bag that I buy, previously I bought the small bag.

I now own all 3 sizes of the Wonderbag and use them all the time. The fact that I can leave them to "cook" without the worry of burnt pots and of course the saving in electricity makes this my best investment this year.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

The Wonderbag has taken my loadshedding prep to a whole new level.

I can prepare meals in advance (while there is electricity) and then keep them warm for enjoyment by candlelight during those pesky 14:00 - 18:30 / 18:00 - 20:30 slots!

I would recommend this product to a friend.

To cook items that need long slow cooking like pulses and grains this is a really helpful article. It continues the cooking process until the food is ready and keeps food warm until you need it.

Using a Wonder Bag definitely saves on power and saves on time spent watching your pots. Useful, attractive and compact.

I had boiled samp and beans for an hour. I seasoned as I desired, let it simmer for 5mins, I put the pot in my Wonderbag and left for work. When I came home in the evening the food was soft and cooked through and still warm. I just dished. I am loving my Wonderbag.

I would recommend this product to a friend.
