sorry. cheap pun. couldn't resist.
weekend before last, i tried out the solar oven on a "traditional" sunday chicken dinner. i prepared the chicken and put it in the roasting pan, stuffing the cavity with a quartered onion, a few cloves of garlic, some sage leaves and a sprig of rosemary and simply salting and peppering the outside. by the way, this is a koshered chicken, is there any other kind?
after about three and a half hours in the solar oven, this is what it looked like...
check out all those lovely juices in the pan, soon to become gravy!
and, look ma, no salmonella!
i also cooked some potatoes in the other pan (about two hours). just before serving, i quartered the chicken and seared skin side down in a hot pan, then i made some gravy in the pan to go over the potatoes and plated everything up. alas, the vegetables you see on the plate were stir fried not sun cooked.

I am impressed. How creative you are with that. Just think of the carbon that could be saved if a few more people did this once a week.
Did the potatoes steam or roast?
steamed, just with their own natural moisture.
