Solar oven cooking of bread and Lasagna. I used a recipe for Lasagna from a website for Crock-pot Lasagna. It was great. I covered the dish tightly with saran wrap.

Pineapple Upside-down cake. Sadly- no cherries in the house.
 |
| Pineapple upsidedown cake. |
 |
| Preheating the topping. |
 |
| Adding the cake batter. |
 |
| The sun has moved west since I first put the oven out. See the "unsquare" shadows? |
 |
| Squared up to the sun for better heat in the box. |
 |
| One hour and 15 minutes.. Skewer tested clean but it's not as brown as I'd like. |
 |
| After another 20 minutes. 330F |
 |
| I had to turn the oven off. |
 |
| Yummy. |
Korean Beef
 |
| My new antique store pan for $10 - Fits perfectly |
 |
| Got my recipe in a crock-pot book |
 |
| In the oven cooking bag, ready to roll... |
 |
| Done. 2.5 hours |
 |
| In the hot box - free power and no heat in the house! |
 |
| Notice my nice square shadows! |
 |
| Yummy. You can thicken the sauce with cornstarch if you like but I just poured the broth over the rice. |

Had fun teaching in Maricopa today - Thanks for inviting me Scott.
 |
Teaching... We had a great day! |
 |
Mixing cornbread in the box - not making dirty dishes... |
 |
Nice hot day to cook with... A little condensation on the inside of the glass. |
 |
We address solar oven cooking and hot water in our post-apocalyptic novel, Post Grid. Writing this was a FUN way to teach too. |
Peach cobbler...
 |
Raw, in the pan... |
 |
Adding a piece of glass, worried about condensation on the inside of the oven lid. |
 |
| My glass was the same size as my pan so I put foil strips around the edges... |
 |
 |
Didn't need the foil strips or the glass... no condensation on the inner piece of glass or the oven lid. |
 |
one hour |
 |
one hour and 40 min |
 |
Mmmmmmmm... |

Hamburger crumbles, garlic bred and broccoli...
 |
| Note foil over veggies to keep the moisture in the pan. I push it down and then reapply the lid - better seal. |
 |
| Garlic bread in late... didn't brown but was crispy. Mmmmm |

FISH TACOSin the solar oven. (Okay, I know it's a little fast-foodish - keep going for more homemade stuff.)
 |
| Sprayed the corn tortillas with cooking spray, put chopped pablano peppers in the middle and piled up the fish sticks... |
 |
| Warning, the corn tortillas came out like hockey pucks, hard! Should have removed them early. The Pablano peppers and fish sticks were fine. Dinner, although a bit crunchy, was good. |
 |
| I added shredded cabbage and salsa, red on the front one and green salsa on the back one. |
BEST BBQ Ribs - sticky, not soggy!!!
 |
| Only three ingredients! Ribs, sauce and oven bag. |
 |
| cooking away... |
 |
| Cooked in bag but soggy. Keep reading... |
 |
| Took them out and emptied the juices, rebasted with sauce and put on an open try. |
 |
| Cracked the glass lid just slightly and propped open with a plastic cap (the green thing)... |
 |
| Let the ribs dry and caramelize. These are the best things you will ever eat! |
