Raw ingredients mixed and waiting for the Pre heated water

Solar Oven Spanish Seafood Paella is one of the most flavorful rice dishes we do in our solar cookers and is really quite easy to make.

When I am pressed for time, I will start the whole cooking process on one of my Solar Burner parabolic cookers, because it cooks faster, and will cook the dish about halfway and then I will place it into my solar oven to finish out the remainder of its cook time.

Everyone found the Paella to be very delicious, even the finicky eaters

The meal was finished off by seven big eaters. It took two hours total to fix and cook and fifteen minutes to disappear.
