Solar Cooking

I just built a solar cooker. Real easy and simple.

It's so much more efficient to directly utilize the energy than to convert it to electricity first.

The challenge is our climate. It's hard to get good sunshine in Ahualoa so I made it extra large solar unit.

I'll find out if that works.

Here is the recipe if you want to try.

Fairly cheap to build.
Only thing I needed to buy was:

• Large reflective sunshade
• Velcro
• Plastic Oven bag (19in x 23 1/2 in) Reynolds - Turkey size

I'll use a bucket and a metal shelf from an old oven that I happened to save.
