Senegalese Cooking

We've been in Senegal a year now, so I figured it was time to get Crystal a Senegalese kitchen. These little cookers are great for cooking outside - anything that's fried. No heat and no grease in the house! The green on bottom is a small butane tank (actually, it's medium size, there is a smaller one available), and the burner attaches directly to the tank. You can't regulate the flame very easily after you've got it going, but they are very efficient. The danger is with the children, since it sits on the ground. Many children in West Africa are burned by these cookers. We don't let the kids out back when Crystal is cooking on it.
