Many of the following solar cooking recipes might seem to take longer than the traditional methods of cooking your daily meals. And admittedly there is some difference in the time required, but as you become more proficient you can shave off more time and effort as you also become more adept at using the solar method of cooking.Also you will soon realize that many of your every day chores, errands and tasks can be performed in between the steps required to put together and cook using this method. Solar cooking is very similar to slow or Crockpot cooking, and once most of the preparation of the ingredients is finished, it is just a matter of combining the ingredients and then letting the sun do the rest. Some dishes can require more that one or two steps to prepare and in my own personal experience I have not found these to take much more time than the traditional methods of preparation and cooking. Granted solar cooking will work great for a person who is at home more often than not, but that does not mean that the nine to five job guy or gal cannot ever enjoy the benefits of solar cooking. It just means that, instead of solar cooking five to seven days a week like some, they can take advantage on the weekends or holidays and days off. Or better yet, let the housekeeper have all the fun. In all seriousness, I have been able to run two businesses (one in the home and one out) and in between obligations and tasks; have managed to do most of the cooking for our household, and the large majority of it using the solar cookers.Some of the cooking was done traditionally, some on the grill, some in the Dutch oven (briquettes) but a whole lot of it in our solar cookers. | When my wife went to visit family in June for two weeks, I and the four kids used the stovetop/oven only three times during that two week period.The rest of the time we cooked the food with the sun, and it kept the house a whole lot cooler to boot. |
If you like to cook and are willing to experiment with a solar cooker, you can cook up pretty much anything you can think of, and I can say; you will be pleased with the quality and the results.
