Like poly tarps and what not littering micro plastics. A suggestion would be fabric coverings for longevity and containment.

I use them when cooking foods like porridge (my standard breakfast) or pasta. Typically, bringing the water and porridge or pasta to a boil plus a few minutes more, then shutting off the stove, putting the pot in the cozy and letting the retained heat do the rest, will be sufficient. It takes a little experimentation to find the right combination of boiling and sitting time.
I have found it saves about half the fuel, which is not insignificant on a long wilderness trip in the kayak or sail-and-oar boat.

I can leave coffee in the pot and the insulation lets it double as a short-term thermos. I always used Gorilla Tape for the seams, but from now on I’m switching to the aluminum tape. Great article!
