The advantage of starting early.

Yes it is still February. I extend my solar cooking day by starting early. In the first 30 minutes my pot of beans has increased in temp by 70ยบ F. Critical for long cooking foods. Winter beans? Yes!

Cooking weather has been fantastic. Here in Southern California we get a winter wind called a Santa Ana. Warm winds blow in off the desert and out to sea. The air is incredibly clear with great (for the area) stargazing. Solar cooking from early morning to late afternoon.
