While underway or many times at anchor the Admiral uses a thermal cooker. This is a highly insulated carafe with a covered pot inside. Basically you bring the inside pot to a boil on the stove and then put it into the carafe. The residual heat then continues to cook the food. It increases the time it takes to make dinner, but reduces the the propane use.

The second advantage is heated foods stay HOT for 6 or more hours. Great for soups and stews we usaually eat while passagemaking.
