[at-l] Pot Cozy Question

[russ_a_drake at yahoo.com (Russ Drake)]

Hmmm,   I may have to get one... sometimes I get side tracked and come back and my food is a little cool... I eat it any way... and I like the idea that it makes the pot easier to handle since I eat out of the pot....

They weigh hardly anything, and they fit around your pot so they 
don't take up much pack space.

I cook my food then immediately stash the pot in the cozy. Makes it 
safer to handle the pot, plus it keeps my food warm while I eat. I 
even made a cup cozy so my tea wouldn't freeze while I eat 
breakfast. :) Your food stays warm significantly longer with a 
cozy. You can buy them premade or you can get a roll of that silvery 
bubble insulation at the hardware store and make your own. I've done 
both.

I would never go without a cozy again unless it's so hot I don't want 
to cook anyway.
