How much spoiled food do you think you toss out every month? Probably more than you would like. According to news-medical.net, the average American family wastes 14%, or 122 lbs of food per month for a family of 4 according to ethicalconsumerism.tribe.net! Well, instead of throwing it away, wouldn’t it be great if you could just throw it into a bin, collect the methane from the food decomposing, and then cook with the methane? Well, that is exactly what this prototype range does!
The operation is fairly simple and the range does most of the work. You dump your food in, it collects the methane and dehydrates the food. It then puts the dehydrated food in a bin on the bottom of the machine for disposal. It doesn’t get much easier than that, does it?
Its not a production model yet, but it would be cool to see this catch on and be put to use. I think they should call it the ‘Meth Cooker’! Okay, maybe thats not the best name…

and then you compost the dehydrated, fermented food, and it’s even more gooder.
