A basic tool that few of the folks I know own is a pressure cooker.

Does a great job on beans, but also on meats. Excellent for making cheaper tougher cuts into fork tender succulent goodness.

Reduces your cooking time by 2/3 or so which saves time and fuel, both of which are likely to be in short supply in a disaster situation, or just in day to day living when we are all busy and looking to save money.

Will also sterilize (not just pasteurize) contaminated water for drinking, and can be used as an improvised autoclave to sterilize medical equipment.

You can find them at Canadian tire, a 6 quart size is probably the most common place to start.
