Burton Lunchbox: Estofao

Recipe and pictures by Josh Quitugua :)

Dinner tonight is a recipe from my home, Guam. We call it estofao'. Filipinos have a very similar dish called adobo. Chicken in a soy sauce, vinegar, and water broth with minced garlic, black pepper, and onions. Mix 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water and soy sauce, add minced garlic and black pepper. Put in the Burton Digital Stove and cook at 350 degrees for 2-3 hours. After about 2 hours mix in the sliced half (or more) of onion and cook at 350 degrees for at least another hour. Served on a bed of Annie Chungs' steamed microwaveable rice. The rice you see here isn't Annie Chung's though. I get these by the six pack at an Asian Mart near where I live in Tacoma, WA. Annie Chung's are just a very similar brand you can find at WalMart that comes in the same container. I'll post the finished pictures before my student and I eat all of it.

Can You....

cook raw hamburger meat in the lunchbox oven?

Pictures and advice by Carie Partin :)

Ok I have been working on an experiment basically for new comers to cooking on the truck. I got to thinking about how you start out so minimal. Or those who are not allowed inverters. So I wanted to see if you can fry hamburger meat in a lunch box oven. To my surprise YES YOU CAN results show it was excellent idea. 12V lunch box can do more than our imaginations. will be working on more experiments down the road. So far 1 1/2 hr. Cook time. Cook till no longer pink. Making tacos tonight.

What Tools To Use: 12V Appliances

Pictures by Jessica Midgley :)

This question is asked a lot by drivers; especially new drivers: my company doesn't allow inverters are there any 12V appliances out there I can cook with and how good are they?

There are a bunch of 12V items out there: some work better than others. So far, I think it's safe to say most people think the lunch box works best. There are also options for a crock pot, frying pan, coffee pot (takes forever to make a cup so this one you may want to skip!) etc.

So Jessica made some pictures of dishes she made only using 12V appliances! She used a frying pan, crock pot, lunch box oven and water warmer!
