Summer Monsoon building up over St. George, Utah in the late summer months can make solar cooking a challenge, but if you get it done early (by 3:00 PM) you can usually beat the clouds.



Baking Chocolate Cheesecake in the GSO

Finished Chocolate Cheesecake

The delicious results of our solar baking experiment...this cheesecake was one of the best I have had.

Two new protective covers for AA Sun Oven

and for 3.5 ft. and 5 foot parabolic cookers

Leaving a parabolic uncovered next to a house even on an off-angle can do damage to the stucco :(

And a parabolic next to a wooden trailer, uncovered, can also do a number on the wood, even at an off-angle. :(

It's best to use these powerful tools properly and for more useful things...like cooking

Maybe some taquitos and hotdogs would be more beneficial than a burnt trailer...

I never waste my Halloween pumpkins, carve them the day before and the day after they are still nice and fresh for solar cooking

After they are all cooked up in the solar oven then it is time to make the pumpkin pie mixture, which you can find on this site on our recipes page

Fresh pumpkin pie mixture going into the pre-heated Sun Oven (pie crust was pre cooked as well, to make it crispier)

Finished pumpkin pie...so much that we were eating pie for days afterward (5 pies)
