A little about her cooking bags:

Cooking bags saves energy. Its a stressless way of cooking. Bring your food to a boiling point, add the ingredients, allow it to boil more and transfer the pot into the cooking bag. The bag completes the cooking in less than an hour. If its not opened, the bags will keep the food warm for 6 hours. Treasure cooking bag reduces firewood, gas or kerosine. The wonderful news is that it canalso keep frozen food too. So its 1 bag for 2 Purposes.
