lo...8.Di Says: <br /> <br />January 11th, 2009 at 7:54 pm e<br /> <br />looks delish - now I am craving bread (and I’m trying to cut carbs bugger, you will have to enjoy it for me.)<br /><br />9.admin Says: <br /> <br />January 11th, 2009 at 8:51 pm e<br /> <br />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!<br /><br />10.river Says: <br /> <br />January 12th, 2009 at 3:51 am e<br /> <br />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?<br />11.admin Says: <br /> <br />January 12th, 2009 at 4:22 am e<br /> <br />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<br /><br />There is a link in my blog list (where I go for inspiration) for solar recipes. The oven comes with an instructional dvd.<br /><br />12.Kristy Says: <br /> <br />January 12th, 2009 at 6:00 am e<br /> <br />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 <br />13.jo-anne Says: <br /> <br />January 12th, 2009 at 6:42 am e<br /> <br />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.<br /><br />14.admin Says: <br /> <br />January 12th, 2009 at 6:54 am e<br /> <br />Jo-Anne, go hassle Apprentice Domestic Goddess; her DH made a great one in which she cooked soup!The Crone at Wits Endhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12139566501738953285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256732481931588219.post-64461535517484408352010-02-28T14:58:23.681+08:002010-02-28T14:58:23.681+08:0014 Responses to “Baking bread in a solar oven”

I am going to do a cheat solar oven later this week (meant to be 37) and try to dry some fruit.<br /><br />2.molly Says: <br /> <br />January 11th, 2009 at 5:59 am e<br /> <br />WTG girl, looks delicious!<br /><br />3.naturewitch Says: <br /> <br />January 11th, 2009 at 7:07 am e<br /> <br />Feeling just a little bit envious, except I don’t like the heat needed to produce such results. Well done! It looks scrumptious. xx<br /><br />4.Teresa Says: <br /> <br />January 11th, 2009 at 11:58 am e<br /> <br />This looks DE-LISC-IOUS!!!!<br />Maybe I’ll have to build a solar cooker <br />5.Leah Says: <br /> <br />January 11th, 2009 at 5:36 pm e<br /> <br />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.<br /><br />6.admin Says: <br /> <br />January 11th, 2009 at 6:30 pm e<br /> <br />The bread was super crunchy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside.<br /><br />Love it!<br /><br />I tried to build my own but couldn’t get the temps over 60 degrees. Had to buy this one.<br /><br />7.Julie Says: <br /> <br />January 11th, 2009 at 7:23 pm e<br /> <br />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?<br /><br />JulieThe Crone at Wits Endhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12139566501738953285noreply@blogger.com
