I thought of a good lifehack. A compost heap gets hot enough to cook an entire ham. So cook a ham in a compost heap. This lifehack is good if you're trapped on a garbage barge with a ham and are hungry.

I remember hearing that in Nazi-occupied France and other nearby countries they'd wrap up meat and cook it in the compost, because it was one of the few places soldiers wouldn't look when they decided to rob the locals.

Pretty sure they'd have all rather used an oven though.

Reminds me of that trend a while ago for using a bean bag type device for slow cooking. You'd get the food warm in a pot, then wrap it in a bean bag cushion thing to keep it at a steady temperature. However, it didn't do that good a job of keeping things hot, so you'd risk food poisoning. What's wrong with just using a crock pot?

It's not a lifehack y'see. Anyway, if you don't have a crock pot you can put a pot in the oven. Works the same way. There's an old recipe called 'stay a bed stew' where you cook beef stew in a pot in the oven. It's really good.

Thermos makes this thing called a Shuttle Chef which for some reason is not marketed heavily in North America, but it's basically a pot that you first heat on the stove, then put in a giant Thermos which keeps the heat in so it slow cooks itself. Great if you're like me and paranoid about leaving appliances running while you go out. It's no bean bag chair (seriously why not at least use like blankets or something designed to wrap around something else?), but it gets the job done.

My favorite variation of this is in Greece, where they have a preheated outdoor woodburning oven, put an entire lamb in, and then build a brick-and-mortar wall in front of the door to the oven and leave it like that for 24 hours.

I've never looked into it since moving but I assume its fairly popular and available wherever the civic laws allow, but getting a caterer to do a pig roast pit style was fairly popular in the more rural suburbs of NE Ohio.

I've often considered hacking my life because hot water at my apartment is prepaid and communal, and is just the right temperature for cooking steak to medium rare.

Just put in a ziplock bag, suck out the air, and leave it under the hot water. That's a pretty sweet lifehacked sous vide setup

He gets free water. Just leave it in the sink with a constant flow of warm water coming from the faucet.

Nonono. You use the hot water to cook the steak, and use cold water in a different room to run a water wheel attached to a dynamo, which runs his bitcoin miner.

Hmmm...
I thought we were going to use a constant stream of cool water to water cool the miner, and use the outtake to heat the stake up. Then it all pools into a giant funnel where it pours onto a turbine to power the motor for the machine to flip everything on to the floor.

You lazy piece of poo poo.
