The charts below give approximate
summer cooking times.
The solar cooker works best when the UV index is 7 or higher.
(Sun high overhead, few clouds.)
Cooking times are approximate. Increase cooking times for partly-
cloudy days, sun not overhead (e.g., wintertime) or for more
than about 3 cups of food in the cooking jar.
Stirring is not necessary for most foods. Food generally will
not burn in the solar cooker.
VEGETABLES (Potatoes, carrots, squash, beets, asparagus, etc.)
Preparation: No need to add water if fresh. Cut into slices or
"logs" to ensure uniform cooking. Corn will cook fine with
or without the cob.
Cooking Time: About 1.5 hours
CEREALS AND GRAINS (Rice, wheat, barley, oats, millet, etc.)
Preparation: Mix 2 parts water to every 1 part grain.
Amount may
vary according to individual taste. Let soak for a few
hours for faster cooking. To ensure uniform cooking,
shake jar after 50 minutes. CAUTION: Jar will be hot.
Use gloves or cooking pads.
Cooking Time: 1.
