Whether it's for scouts or girls' camp, there is going to come a day when you have to figure out how to do some solar cooking.
After looking all over Pinterest for solar cooking ideas and showing them to my 11-year-old son, he took those ideas and ran with them. Of course having an engineering mind and an eye for detail, he had a few changes that he wanted to make and this is what we came up with.
Materials Needed:
Medium-sized Pizza Box
Hot Dogs
Aluminum Foil
Wooden Skewers (2)
Staples
Step 1: Line the box with aluminum foil--using staples to keep it in place
Step 2: Poke Skewers through one side of the box and into the hot dog(s)
Step 3: Poke skewers through the other side of the box
Step 4: Find a sunny place, partially close the box, and allow the sun to do its thing!
Optional Step:
Give your solar oven a super cool name, like the Summer Solar Cookerator 5000!
Elapsed Time: 2 to 3 hours
Note: Keep hungry puppies away!
