Sweet Potato

Today's cooking project was a simple sweet potato. I rubbed the rather large sweet potato with a little oil and put it in the pot around 10:00am. I took it out around 6:00pm. The pot was not hot when I went to check on it at 6:00, but the potato was fully cooked and utterly delicious!!

My new hobby

It's been about a month now that I've been using my solar cooker and I LOVE it. I am using a panel cooker from Solar Cookers International. A friend gave it to us several years ago and I just pulled it out of the closet a few weeks ago. I am using this blog to record my solar cooking adventures. Thus far, I have cooked the following things (successfully) in my solar cooker:
-brown rice
-baked apples and pears
-carrots

I have also made a few things semi-successfully
-banana bread (needed to preheat oven)
-potato and coconut stew (too cloudy)

I'll update this blog with what I make and how it goes and what I learn along the way.
