3 days of solar cooking
Day 1 - a large bot of beans - 3 cups dry pinto, 9 cups water, 1 Tbs olive oil, dehydrated garlic. The 3 to 1 ratio is pretty good for summer cooking. I use one less cup of water in winter. For 2 cups of dry beans, 5 cups of water.
The pot was 2/3 full and cooked very well.
Day 2 - perfect tri-tip roast. a little over 3 pounds. Done in 90 minutes - but I let it simmer for another hour to increase tenderness and to please my "no pink in the middle!" family members.
Day 3. 5 pound roasting hen. Rubbed with Monterey Steak seasoning. Cooked to juicy doneness then drained and painted with BBQ sauce and put on the grill for a few minutes each side. Absolutely delicious.
Day 0 - brownies - which I always overcook!

  1. You overcooked something in a panel cooker?! Shame! :D ...or is that impressive?

    How did the brownies turn out this time 'round? While I'm at it with the questions, how long did it take to cook the beans, and did you use the average-sized ASSC or the large version?
