How does it work?
Collins says you can bring your food to the boil for 10 minutes, then close the pot with the lid and pop it into the Wonderbag, seal the bag with the pot inside it where it'll continue to cook it for 8 to 12 hours.
And it does work! It works so well that the bag full of wonder is voted one of the world's Top 50 Genius Companies by Time Magazine.
This is partly because The Wonderbag is 'a global solution' many other crises' faced in Africa and globally.
One such issue is deforestation as many communities in Africa collect firewood to cook over open fires which is dangerous and life-threatening.
600,000 Africans are killed every year by air pollution caused by the use of solid biomass for cooking.

It truly is the bag that keeps on giving.
