But its advocates said repeatedly how much more flavorful food is when cooked in a solar oven, and (this is a confession, now) my thought was, "Okay crunchy tree-hugger, if you say so..." So I got my solar cooker a couple weeks ago and have experimented with fine results. But last week, I cooked pinto beans in the solar cooker, and oh my goodness, they may have been the yummiest pinto beans I've ever had. So flavorful, with nothing but garlic and water, and salt added after they were cooked.<br /><br />Furthermore, I picked up pinto beans and sweet potatoes AND cilantro at the farmer's market today, so needless to say I'm going to make this chili this week. Thanks!<br /><br />~JanaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
