45 minutes in, we flipped it around, cooked it in the sun for another 15 minutes. And it's absolutely perfect.
That means that this summer we can make bread on demand, without using fuel, and without adding heat to the habitat.

@neauoire nice! I have the smaller travel version of this oven. Do you have any recs for making bread in it, like recipe changes or size/amounts to use? @dave not yet, it's only our first try. We'll do a couple more experiments and we'll have some better notes on bread baking with it. @dave some recs so far, use parchment paper around the baguette so it doesnt risk sticking to the inside of the tube. I made a full recipe(3 cups of flour) but split it in two separate baguettes(maybe less for your solar cooker). Its better to add less since the bread expands and could get stuck in the stove. @kraftner We've written a couple of notes here: https://100r.co/site/solar_cooking.html @neauoire @klardotsh @avi Supposedly, it can reach anywhere from 150°C(302°F) to 290°C(550°F), with an overall max temp of 371C(700F) (maker's numbers). Would be amazing to gather some numbers of our own to see if that is actually accurate. @tinspin it tasted amazing!! we made the loaves small enough that even if they expanded, we'd be able to pull them out. Also we surrounded the loaf with parchemin paper |
@neauoire wow, looks great!
