In this era of government-enforced cost-of-living crisis, have you considered cooking with a haybox?
@afewbugs explains it FAR better than I can, so go read her rather excellent post now (and share it widely, so others can also benefit)

@WilliamNB thank you!
@afewbugs Oh no - it's us who have to thank you for posting that 🙂
@WilliamNB do give it a try, it's one of those things I just tried as an experiment because I was curious, I genuinely never expected it would be so helpful and convenient! Next step is figuring out how to do it on the move, I've heard of people who start their dinner off in the morning then wrap it in their sleeping bag so it cooks all day, but I need to figure out a 100% reliable waterproof container for that
@afewbugs I wonder if a small pressure cooker would do the trick?
@WilliamNB that's an idea. This sort of thing? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174326096718?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=DzXtXupuT_e
@afewbugs I only thought of a pressure cooker as they seal tight enough to hold steam under pressure in, so guaranteed leak-proof
@afewbugs I prefer this one:

1) It's far cheaper!
2) It's aluminium, so less weight
