Introduction

Securing and cooking food is extremely important during disasters and disaster prevention training. Among them, the cassette stove is one of the frequently used tools due to its usefulness. In this article, we will explain in detail the usefulness of cassette stoves during disasters and disaster prevention training.

 

1. Role as an emergency cooking method during disasters

1-1 Securing meals and maintaining nutritional intake

In the event of a disaster, external support may be delayed or supply networks may be disrupted. Therefore, it is necessary to secure meals using emergency food and stockpiled ingredients. However, these foods tend to be nutritionally unbalanced if left alone. By using a cassette stove, you can cook these ingredients and consume balanced nutrition.

 

1-2 Maintaining psychological stability and life

Disasters are extremely stressful situations. Homes and livelihoods may be destroyed, and anxiety and fear may spread. Even in such situations, you can maintain your mental and physical stability and maintain your lifestyle by eating meals. Cooking and eating hot meals using a cassette stove is part of providing psychological stability.

 

1-3 Water disinfection and cooking

In the event of a disaster, the supply of drinking water may be disrupted. Water can be sterilized by boiling it using a cassette stove. Additionally, using boiling water to cook food reduces the risk of food poisoning.

1-4 Community support

In times of disaster, neighbors and entire communities are required to come together and support each other. By sharing meals prepared using a cassette stove, you can increase the spirit of mutual aid and develop the strength to overcome difficult situations.

1-5 Utilize appropriate ingredients

By using a cassette stove, you can prepare a wider variety of emergency food and stockpiled ingredients. By being creative with the types of ingredients and cooking methods, you can avoid monotonous meals and increase the satisfaction of your meals.
