Our first StoveTec Stove recipe is here! The StoveTec Haitian Stew recipe, submitted by John and Flip Anderson, is widely used throughout Haiti to cook delicious pumpkin stew on the StoveTec Stove. It is a local favorite in Haiti, but is tasty and simple enough to cook to be a favorite anywhere!
The recipe is as follows:
Pumpkin Stew
1 to 2 lbs meat cut into 1" cubes
2 cloves garlic minced
1 onion cut up
3 tablespoons oil for browning meat
2 or 3 quarts water (more vegetables uses more water)
4 lbs pumpkin, seeds & skins removed, cut into large chunks
2 or 3 potatoes washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 or 3 carrots peeled and sliced into bite-sized pieces
lots more vegetables cut into bite-sized pieces (beans, cabbage, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.)
3-5 bouillon cubes for flavor
Brown meat in oil, remove meat from pot and set side. Saute onion and garlic in remaining oil and then add water and pumpkin. Boil until pumpkin is soft. Mash the water and pumpkin together (this creates a medium-thick broth). Add remaining vegetables, mean and bouillon. Simmer until all vegetables are cooked. Add salt and pepper, or other spices of choice for taste.
The StoveTec Haitian Pumpkin Stew can be a great addition to the menu of anyone who enjoys cooking outdoors, wants to be prepared (without sacrificing taste!) for times without a full kitchen, or simply enjoys the simplicity and fun of cooking with a non-electric rocket stove.

Water Pasteurizer Now Ready for Distribution!
The new StoveTec Water Pasteurizer has the chance to significantly improve global health issues caused by unsafe drinking water. Water Pasteurization is a technique that makes water safe to drink for human consumption without having to bring it to a boil. Paired with a StoveTec Rocket Stove, 6 liters of water can be brought up to 65 degrees Celsius - the temperature required to pasteurize water- in mere minutes. After pasteurization the water is clean, safe to drink, and maintains the un-altered taste of water. Water borne diseases are responsible for over 2.5 million deaths a year. These diseases can be prevented if water is pasteurized before consumption. Please spread the word and together we can improve the quality of life all over the world!

10 innovations that can save the world! Rocket Stove #2!
StoveTec's partner and R&D team, Aprovecho Research Center (ARC), first created the idea of a rocket stove 30-plus years ago through the innovation and design principles developed by Dr. Larry Winiarski and Mr. Dean Still. Through the last 30 years the duo has paired to improve and expand upon their original designs in order to produce the current rocket stove product that is the StoveTec stove. The StoveTec rocket stove has helped ARC win numerous awards, the latest and most prestigious of which is the 2009 Ashden International Energy Champion Award. ARC was presented with this award based upon its ability to mass produce energy efficient, clean burning rocket stoves at an affordable price. The hard work put in by Dr. Winiarski, Mr. Still and the StoveTec team has put StoveTec at the forefront of businesses with the power to positively impact the world by creating solutions for health and environmental issues.
