Devi Pillay from Goodwood has been designing and making Wonderbags for the past 20 years, selling bags all over the world.
Pillay says she cannot remember why exactly she started but recalls seeing people experimenting with this idea in a box and giving it a go.
To complete any cooking in the Wonderbag, first bring your food to boil rapidly for five minutes on the stove, thereafter put the pot into the Wonderbag.
Your food will be ready in about the normal time it would take to cook on the stove.
According to Pillay, it takes up to one and a half days to make and complete a Wonderbag.
She previously sent Wonderbags to the Eastern Cape to help people without electricity as this bag saves you time and electricity, making it a money-saving tool.
Pillay says her secret is insulation, her unique trimming and shweshwe fabric.
It is excellent for working mothers, picnics, saving electricity and a massive help in time of load-shedding.
Pillay chuckles as she continues “you cook your food in the morning, place it into the Wonderbag, go galavanting, come back and enjoy your food – like my neighbour does”.
These wonder bags are available in different sizes and vary from R200 to R350.
