Solar oven cooking is achieved within an enclosed area where the air is generally damp due to the humidity in the food.<br /><br />Chickens don't generally get "crisp" but will brown attractively in a solar oven. I guess it's all to do with the fat not reacting with the dry air of a gas oven.<br /><br />With that said, a loaf of bread or a batch of biscuits will get crisp.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-39540723949981583512012-02-15T16:08:04.702-06:002012-02-15T16:08:04.702-06:005 hrs. at 250°

I was saying that when roasting a chicken you typically get a more *even* (and juicier) cooking when you keep the extremities close and the breasts pushed down and together - both of which can be accomplished with trussing.<br /><br />Now all that may be moot if indeed the solar oven cooks wildly different.Scuba Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01665254229732261053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-49886166169227471752012-02-14T23:16:41.126-06:002012-02-14T23:16:41.126-06:00@ Scuba Steve - LOL Chickens cooked in the solar o...@ Scuba Steve - LOL Chickens cooked in the solar oven don't dry out - not even if you leave them in there all day.

Are they giving you water too? The Earthbox folks graciously donated 4 of these to TFL for a field test. I am most interested to see how much water these will use compared to conventional growing methods. I will be setting up two of them as per their instructions and two using my own compost mix to see how it goes. In addition...I will be comparing them to some home made versions as well.
