Thank you for your video. I made mine this morning. I'm from Cape town. I used old curtains🤪. The stuffing... I started cutting up the scrap fabric then switched to broken towels. Eventually I found an old tattered duvet... My hands are so sore. But it was worth it. Thank you thank you thank you.

My akni cooked in less than 2hours and the flavour is amazing. I use to throw a towel over my pot in the past... But the flavor has never been this intence. I'm making beef curry tomorrow to go with tonight's leftovers. I just had supper😁

Great idea and I’m sure we all could use one in our Prepper closet…..love the idea of scrap material since I have plenty of old bathrobes I got for making blankets but this would be a better use…..I hate those styrofoam popcorns …static clingers….it’s certainly safer to use then a crock pot that could go bad on you while you’re away from home……also we camp so I’d use it to cook in the camper while we go site seeing and not worry of a fire…….

Wonderful video! This will be very easy for me to make. Can you use Cotton batting or stuffing as the padding? Or how about wool? I do a lot of DIY projects with fabric and and the scraps I do have I use for kitty toys for the local animal rescue groups, so I never have scraps but I do have yards of fabric I can make these with. Just trying to figure out other fillers so any suggestions would be appreciated. The idea is the density in the padding, correct?
