I cooked with my solar oven every sunny day for one year, and still continue to use it. Solar cooking is easy, fun and economical, it also makes some very tasty food! It is a wonderful addition to any kitchen. Feel free to browse around, and use the labels to search for the different types of food cooked.

More Solar Pasta Fagioli
Whenever I make lamb shanks with beans, a pot of pasta fagioli is sure to follow within a few days. It would be a shame to let the broth from the lamb go to waste. Technically it was not completely solar cooked. This morning I used the Sun Oven to cook some beans in one pot and a mixture of olive oil, leeks, carrot, celery, garlic and canned tomatoes in another. In the evening I combined the broth, beans and vegetable mixture in a dutch oven and brought the soup to a lazy boil before adding the pasta.

Have you ever cooked bulgar? I didn't see it on your blog. I have a homemade solar oven and it rarely gets up to 250. Although I live in Hawaii we get a lot of cloudy days
ReplyDeleteI've never cooked bulgar although it is something I'd like to try. My first solar cooker was a Cookit and it also rarely got up to 250 even in the heat and sun of Arizona.
