Solar Oven

We (meaning Keith) made a solar oven. We have wanted to try this for a few months now and finally got the time to work on this project. Now, we are going to work on learning all we can about how to cook in the oven. (not that we don't have a million other things to research and learn....) We also conducted a little science experiment and used our neighbors solar oven to compare how our homemade one would work. Keith is going to make a couple modifications, but all in all, things worked pretty well.




We wanted to try something "easy" for our first try. We also thought that if we tried the little muffin tins, the food would cook faster since it wasn't that deep or thick to cook through. Well, what would be better than brownies?





These will now go down in our family history as "solar brownies". The kids loved them. I have to admit, if you like brownies with a little hint of paint... these were exactly what you would love. This is a picture of Sariah begging for "solar brownies". The paint can't hurt her.... right? I like the fact that if the sky comes crashing down and we actually have to use the solar oven, I can still have chocolate.
