I think most of us have lots of experience making a "tinfoil dinner". It's sort of one of the first cooking methods that one learns. After a few times, you kind of figure out how to do it right to prevent the burned/raw effect.

One of the new methods of cooking is solar. Given the right conditions and some creativity, you can do a good job. It is certainly different and fun to try this method. My colleague did a salmon dinner for us on one occasion by using a cardboard box and tin foil - it actually worked.


What does one have to do to accomplish the task?
The simplest way is to go online and watch the demos.

Yes, it is also true - there are all kinds of Solar Ovens that you can purchase - but try making your own.
Let us know how it worked for you. Take a picture if you can and share it with the greater community.
