I am a bit surprised to find nobody yet to come up with a solar cooker and a sun tracking device so that it can be left aiming at the sun automatically. The telescope makers must have something for you.... ask them!

I watch the clouds, too. by: Jim La Joie
Heavy overcast, like we get on the coast = no cooking. Hazy skies mean longer cooking times. Broken clouds... sometimes I am surprised. If the clouds are less than 50% I am still confident in cornbread or rice. Those of us who use photovoltaic electricity have learned that there is an "edge of cloud" effect wherein, as the cloud is just clearing the sun, the light becomes very intense. So on broken cloud days, I start earlier.
