Oats
I just had the best oats...ever. I started them yesterday afternoon in
the solar oven, then finished cooking them today. I guess the slow cooking somehow improves the flavor. I had been nuking them the night before, then reheating them just before eating in the microwave, but this technique is best. I guess it shouldn't surprise me though. Steel cut oats are so much tastier than rolled oats, and steel cut oats cooked in the solar oven are the best ever. Hey, its free....well not quite. I probably used up more energy opening the door to readjust my solar oven than I would otherwise. Next I'll try beans and lentils. Beans take a long time to cook, so they really heat up your house....not to mention making your house beany smelling. This might be the answer to both those side effects. Now I need to make another solar oven cause mine is small...just large enough for the oats, which I eat everyday, so I can't cook beans and oats at the same time until I make another. The first one was fun to make. For reflection, I bought a large mylar reflector that was designed for car windshields to keep your car from getting so hot on these sunny days. That really my only construction expense...$9 or so for that. Man, I wish I had some more oats. Come on GLOBAL WARMING. Where are you when I need you. LOL dkw |
