Sun-Baked Food

About this time of year people start talking about how hot it is, such as "It's so hot you could fry and egg on a sidewalk."  People also start doing more cooking outdoors in order to keep the house cool, such as grilling on a barbeque, making sun tea, and wrapping uncooked dinner ingredients in foil and placing it in their car's rear window in the morning before they leave for work.

I thought I'd look to see if anyone had come up with anything new in this area, and although it looks like this isn't new, it's certainly new to me:  sun ovens!  It's basically a mirrored-lined or metal-lined box in which you place your food, and the food is cooked by the intensified heat of the sun.  There are also numerous blogs about sun oven recipes!  For more information click here and click here.  What did you learn today?
