Fantastic! I am going to do a cheat solar oven later this week (meant to be 37) and try to dry some fruit.

Feeling just a little bit envious, except I don’t like the heat needed to produce such results. Well done! It looks scrumptious. xx

So how did it taste? I made a solar oven back in high school, but it took 3 hours to cook one sausage, so it was disassembled pretty quick.

The bread was super crunchy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside.
Love it!
I tried to build my own but couldn’t get the temps over 60 degrees. Had to buy this one.

Looks fabulous L. Do you have any condensation issues when you are baking? My oven is the same as yours but I find that I get condensation dripping back onto my bread (erk). I tried tilting the oven slightly but the back (and mirror) seemed unstable,and leaving the lid open a crack means it doesn’t get hot enough inside. I’ve never done it on a 37′C day though - maybe that’s the secret?
looks delish - now I am craving bread (and I’m trying to cut carbs bugger, you will have to enjoy it for me.)

Julie there wasn’t any condensation at all. Could be that it evaporated as soon as it happened - ask Molly, it has been bl**dy hot here for the last two weeks!

Looks wonderful. Is it possible to bake a loaf with a less crunchy crust? I love bread crust but but my teeth can only handle so much, excessive hard chewing causes me several days worth of aching. Where do I buy a solar oven? Do they come with recipe suggestions? 11.admin Says:

Yes, I left it in the solar oven way too long so I got a nice crunchy crust (The Husband complained!) I bought it from here http://www.rpc.com.au/catalog/solar-cooker-190mm-p-2201.html
There is a link in my blog list (where I go for inspiration) for solar recipes. The oven comes with an instructional dvd.

oooh yummo! I always wondered how a solar oven would go - thanks for trial testing it for me nice work and one way to take advantage of the past week’s high temps - without heating up the house 13.jo-anne Says:

Wow that looks great. But it hasn’t been hot enough here lately. Only a couple of days in the 30’s so far. weird summer we are having. I’d like to have a go at building one for Guides.
