Solar Ovens was to microwave or not to microwave?

[Guest guest]

Does a solar oven work like a dehydrator? We're trying to move away from

eating mostly " dead " foods and purchased a great dehydrator from Excalibur and

are loving it!

Solar Ovens was Re: to microwave or not to microwave?

 

 

We got rid of the microwave when we got rid of the TV (about 8 years

ago). We love not having a microwave and feel we tend to eat a lot

better without it. We don't rely on processed foods as much (we also

had our children in that timeframe so maybe we would have done this

regardless). We do have toaster oven though. Most left overs are easy

to reheat on the stove or in the oven or eat cold (I'm lazy if it is

just me eating it).

 

We are looking into a solar oven, speaking of the environmental aspect

of things. Does anyone have one? Is there a brand you prefer? What

is your experience?

 

Thanks!

It can but it doesnt have to. With a good solar oven you can bake

bread, cook veggies, cook rice, just about anything if you have the

time to wait and good sun exposure (you could even cook meat if you

weren't vegetarian). I have some literature at home from a

demonstration that I went to once. I'll see if I can find it and e-

mail the brand, which was a little expensive but very good for

cooking with.

There's a show called " Living with Ed " on HGTV. It's about actor Ed

Begley and his wife. He's an ultra environmentalist and she is just

" normal " . The show is pretty funny and

also informative. He has a solar oven and he was cooking lentils in

it. Probably takes awhile! They are also vegetarian. One show was

about Ed wanting to get another

solar oven. His wife doesn't use it and hates the way it looks and

takes up a lot of room in the back yard. I think it would be fun to

have one
