inside look Made from a big water bottle wrapped in several layers of cardboard. The whole thing is covered with brown paper, which makes the surface harder and look nicer.

the lid fitting the lid on the container The lid is made from 4 layers of cardboard and trimmed to tightly fit the container. When used, it’s covered in a plastic bag for waterproofing

Shaping cardboard to tight tolerances is pretty easy: when dry it is suprisingly stiff; you can cleanly saw it through with a serrated knife, even at tiny shallow angles. You can also add more layers of paper to make it thicker.

    I have some similar things with old coolers. I love doing chuck roast or pork shoulder for 48 hours. So it’s nice to have something insulated with a lid.

      Yeah, sometimes I just let it sit there to cook. The insulation would retain the temperature for a while
