@neauoire now that you’ve had it a bit, and the novelty aspect has had time to weaken, do you think the solar cooker is going to be a lasting part of your repertoire?

@ndpi I think we'll use it daily.

There's very little friction in using it. Cleaning it is even easier than cleaning the pressure cooker or the pot after making rice. So I feel like we'll always have it handy. Will report back on this at the end of summer :)

@neauoire that’s great! It’ll be interesting to see how it works in winter as well, especially at higher latitudes.

@ndpi high latitude with short winter days would probably be bad or dinner time. We've used it this winter tho, even at 4'C outside it can cook brussel sprouts perfectly.

@neauoire probably depends on the local microclimate as well. In Scotland we usually have persistent cloud cover during the winter in addition to low sun elevation and short days, which all takes a big bite out of the solar energy available on the ground.

@neauoire Looking good, knockdown safe and all? The value of this device is comparable to a rifle in a cabin in the woods I guess, fishing poles and line/bait aside. But how can you grow vegetables on the boat? Or are you guys pescatarians?
