Solar Box Cooker Project

We have finally completed our solar box cooker project that's inspired by the simple and Kyoto solar box cookers. We used the actual box that our HotPot solar cooker was shipped in. We thought that it made the perfect solar box cooker because it was already a box within a box, which was exactly what we needed to construct one. It took us about 45 minutes to complete the whole project.

Sunshine Cooked Cajun Spiced Pulled Pork & Solar Po' Boy Style Sandwich







We were actually going to solar cook a rice dish, but we were missing an essential ingredient to complete the recipe. So we decided on using up the remaining pork shoulder (butt) that we didn't cook when we solar cooked the Hawaiian Kalua pig. This was the second time we cooked a large cut of meat and this time we made sure that we checked the internal temperature of the meat, as suggested by a YouTuber. The outside temperature was 89 F. We had 5 hours of continuous sunshine and finished it just in time before the rain.

Solar Bread & Solar Cooker's Rack

With the kind of weather we've been having lately, we were lucky to have been able to solar cook these 2 loaves of Irish soda bread (one 100% whole wheat and one white).












These are pictures of our "Solar Cooker's Rack". :-)




We are still adding to our collection.
