Around 6.55 million people ate potato sticks or chips several times a week last year. The popular snack comes in a wide variety of flavors, shapes and colors. Stiftung Warentest examined a total of 25 corresponding products in the 11/2022 issue. In addition to the classic potato chips, the experts also tested stacked chips and other potato snacks. In addition to the sensory properties such as appearance, smell and taste, the evaluation also focuses on the ingredients. For example, the products were also examined for harmful substances in the laboratory.
And the experts had a lot to criticize: well-known brands and organic products were particularly disappointing in the test. The testers not only rated the taste of some chips negatively. There are also point deductions for critical ingredients.
Not a single product scores “very good”. Eight out of 25 are “good” after all, another six are still “satisfactory”. Six more chips packs only cut off “sufficient”. Five potato snacks fail with the rating “poor”.
Building a cooking box isn’t complicated – it’s more or less a large thermos, but for cooking pots. This used to be built with existing household materials.
For example, a large box lined with wood wool and textiles was used for this. The pot is placed in a suitably prepared recess, then it is covered with thick fabric and the box is closed.
If you want to try the effect without going to the hardware store, you can simply stuff thick down comforters or pillows into a sufficiently large box. It is important that the pot is well insulated on all sides. In addition, you should only use bedding that you do not need at the moment, otherwise you will smell like lunch when you sleep.
Tip: It is best to wrap the pot in an old towel so as not to soil the other textiles.
