As a homesteader, it’s not that you don’t use electricity it’s that you don’t have to. Our non electric appliances make food preparation for cooking or canning quick and efficient with minimal clean-up. If you have a generator as a backup for the grid, a fireplace as backup heat, a shovel as a backup for the snowblower, you need to give serious consideration to “backups” for
