For this
reason, we recommend using the oven-safe plastic bag
wherever possible.)
-An idea attributed to Roger Bernard and applied now to the
BYU Funnel Cooker: place a pot (having a blackened
bottom and sides) in a glass bowl, and cover with
a lid. Try for a tight fit around the bottom to keep
hot air trapped inside. The metal pot or bowl should
be supported around the rim only, with an air space all
around the bottom (where the sunlight strikes it). Put a
blackened lid on top of the pot. Then simply place this
pot-in-bowl down in the bottom of the funnel--no plastic
bag is needed! This clever method also allows the cook
to simply remove the lid to check the food and to stir.
I like this idea - it makes the solar cooker a lot like
cooking over a fire. See Photographs for further details.

glass measuring cup -- looking like it might hold one-half
gallon. Inside the measuring cup is a chrome or stainless
steel dish, fitting the sides of the cup very tightly.
