So,
@rek and I got super interested in these vacuum tubes that people put on their rooftops.
We've just cooked our first meal with the sun, and are still a bit shocked at how well it worked out. It's pretty cool out today, it was able to cook potatoes thoroughly in an hour.

Sarah and I were looking at these a few months ago (probably you linked haha). Thats waay faster than I expected! Sounds actually good!
They were quite expensive though?

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •🌻 The big advantage of using the sun to cook our meals is that instead of using the pressure cooker over the gas stove, which creates a lot of moisture in the galley, we'll be able to make our meals in the summer without heating up the habitat!

in reply to calutron • • •I think we're satisfied to have found a way to stretch the length of time we can stay away without refueling, and a bit of redundancy for cooking since our inverter and battery bank are not powerful enough to drive an induction plate.

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •Is it time? smell? can you see the food? or do you have to open it and look? And if you do have to look, does that increase the cooking time depending on how impatient you are?
Also given the long skinny nature. I'm curious if baguettes work.
Can you fit an oven thermometer in there? I think the vacuum tubes get hotter than you can get with less insulated cookers.
Devine Lu Linvega
in reply to Diane • • •> I was wondering how you tell how far along you are in the cooking process
We open it and taste it.
> does that increase the cooking time depending on how impatient you are?
A bit, it'd be like opening the oven to look at the food. Our understanding is that tubes cook at around 200'C, so we monitor it closely.
> I'm curious if baguettes work.
We're planning to try bread soon.
> Can you fit an oven thermometer in there?
We'd like to get one, but we haven't yet.
Diane
in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •I wasn't sure how long it'd take to recover it's temperature after opening.

We managed to cook with an overcast 2 days ago, it just took longer.
