Description and photographs

The food to cook is placed in 3 stacks of vessels set within the base. This photo is of a 72-litre EcoCooker with stainless steel cooking vessels.
An inner cover makes the steaming chamber. The same EcoCooker with different aluminium bucket-type inside vessels now holds 120 litres.
An outer cover provides insulation.
A stand and burner specific to the size of EcoCooker is supplied.
Half an hour later, or even later as desired, the cooker can be opened. The food is hot and ready to serve.
Another way of timing the EcoCooker (particularly a partially loaded one, which may need less time for cooking) is to notice when puffs of steam start coming out of the joint at the base. The gas should be on for 20 minutes after the puffs of steam are first seen.

The stand, and base. Note the tap near the bottom of the base.
The base, with one supporting bottom plate with nothing on it, and another supporting bottom plate with the lowest of 3 buckets on it.
Three bucket-type cooking containers stacked on each other. These are the cooking vessels where each container holds about 14 litres, making a 40-litre stack. 3 such stacks make up the 120-litre EcoCooker.
The 3 buckets, when placed in nesting order, fit within each other, and provide compact empty storage. When the order is reversed, they sit on top of each other, as in the preceding photo.
The inner cover goes over the 3 stacks of 3 bucket-type cooking vessels per stack. Part of the stand is seen in front. Normally, when actually cooking, the base would be on the stand.
The final cover fits over the inner cover. It is best handled by two people, not because of the weight, but because of its bulk.
