When you finally get sick of mainstream media, don't ditch your dish, convert it to a solar cooker and let it pay you back with free cooking power of the sun.
Below are a few videos showing you how this can be done. There is also a There was an error working with the wiki: Code[1]

It is not as good as the Global Sun Oven. It's bigger, heavier, requires tighter maintenance of keeping it aimed at the sun. It's advantage would be its output capability and speed of cooking.

Yes we have the Solar cooker in stock now and we have added to the system a grill -- works like a George Forman grill -- grill steaks and sausage etc. in 12-18 minutes on a good sunny day. The meat starts to sizzle in the first minute- it sounds and smells very good.
This is a great hobby – I think of it as the new Bar-B-Que. I have made 9” diameter x 5” high cakes, pineapple, cherry upside-down cakes in 35 minutes. Two weeks ago I made 2 cakes in 1 hour 20 minutes for my family reunion. The cakes were the hit of the meal… A HOME RUN!!!
Use the Andersen Solar Cooker like you use a Dutch oven. Cook the same kind of meals and boil water in the Quist Hot Tap.
