Step 9Cooking and Baking
Boiled and baked potatoes!
I boiled potatoes in the emergency umbrella cooker and I baked in the big black pot in the (now coated with kitchen foil) solar cooker I made on the cob mold.
I was not happy with the performance of the emergency cooker but it clearly worked.
Partly the small pot was a problem but also there were lots of creases that probably bounced light in wrong directions.
As you can see both worked on the 29th of September. The temperature in either solar cooker did not go much over 80C.
I thought it was innovative of me to raise up the potatoes for baking!
I imagine in future designs that the potatoes can be put on little metal skewers on the insides of "baking" pots so that the heat can go straight into the middle of the potatoes for excellent baking!
