Final Solar Cooking Experiment: A Meal from solar cookers
Posted by carrie_roll
Carrie and I decided that it would be fun to eat an entire meal cooked by the sun.
So, we took our three cookers. In one, we placed leftover chili. In another, we placed potatoes.
And in a third, we placed Joan’s rice pudding (for dessert). Thanks Joan!
All three videos are posted below (we made them for YouTube as individual videos, but we ate this as a full meal).
Other than the mildly disappointing results from the sun not cooking the rice pudding (simply because we didn’t get it outside early enough in the day, we were very pleased with how this meal turned out!
Baked Potatoes wrapped in foil and cooked in an eagle solar cooker
Leftover chili cooked in a champagne chiller picked up at GoodWill
For dessert, rice pudding in a solar cooker
(We’ll post Joan’s recipe soon!)
So, in light of this experiment, and solar cooker week here on GreenJoyment, what thoughts do you have about solar cooking? Are you already using solar cookers? if so, what are your results?
If not, has this series of videos inspired you to create your own solar cookers?
We’d love to know! Use the comments below to drop us a line with your thoughts!

That’s a nifty design. Too bad we didn’t see it earlier. Definitely would have used it for solar cooker week.
Perhaps we’ll make some more soon.
Thanks for visiting and commenting!

A great idea for future recipes this. Thank you for sharing it. Have you noticed how so many people appear to be cooking again?
I wonder if the lack of funds due to the current climate has something to do with it and we all appear to be cooking again! its great!
You can build a Fun-panel solar cooker in less than an hour from a cardboard box and a few metres of aluminium foil.
