Today I’m going to give you an easy way to cook in a do-it-yourself solar oven. Understand that I do so only in the name of independence as circumstances may prevent you from having access to a commercially made solar oven. However, if I had a choice between using my own homemade solar oven and a commercial one, I would go commercial any time. Why? Because the commercial solar ovens I recommend are specifically made to handle rugged third world conditions. They are intended for cooking...

Hey Folks. Several months ago I was waiting for a solar oven business to finally post it's site. They didn't. Why? Because they were bought out by another company--Five Star Preparedness. So when I found that out, I made friends with Five Star. (It wasn't really hard because they use the same executive virtual office that we do--mine! Hee hee) Anyway, I wanted to let you know that they ARE able to take solar oven orders now. All you have to do to find them is go online at www....

I'm a Daring Cook! My confession is not that I’m a good cook. The confession is that I’m a bit daring in my cooking, in that I’m not afraid to try new things and new recipes.

Today I happened upon an individual who, as of July 1, has commited to cook with her solar oven each sunny day for an entire year.  The Solar Oven Chef, as she calls herself, posts images of meals she's prepared each day in her solar oven.  She has prepared everything from ribs to bread to pizza and meatloaf -- excellent variety!  By the end of the Solar Oven Chef's one year experiment, preparing meals in her solar oven will be second nature. As we've discussed in previous blogs, cooking with...

Photo by Julia Kalloz Hundreds, if not thousands of dollars are regularly spent by Americans on gadgets and gizmos to make their cooking experiences taste better.  Smokers, cedar planks, fancy grills, kitchen appliances, turkey fryers and more are all acquired with the intent to produce that ideal mouth-watering meal.  Given my love of cooking, it’s no wonder my friends constantly accuse me of having every kitchen gadget known to man—er… woman.  So it’s no surprise that I recently acquired yet...
