Went looking for the ideal pot, couldn't find it, so went with the next best. I have some doubts if this will work today, but if you first don't succeed try try again.. more as the experiment progresses.

BTW... the dish is going to be some Annie's Peace Pasta & Parmesan

EDIT: Still cooking, the dish is very hot but I think a metal dish would cook quicker, and I need to get a black/dark anodized pot to make this work faster. Also today I'm fighting a lot of wind, so that doesn't help, but it is showing signs of progress,

EDIT: Just finished, the pasta was a bit overdone but overall very happy with the result, so now eating my lunch...

This morning I went to San Diego County to Sky Mountain Institute for a workshop on solar cooking.. The workshop had been organized by Sky Mountain and by a Meetup group of solar cooks from the greater San Diego area. There was a good presentation by Jim La Joie , the designer and maker of his solar cooker and a workshop where each of us made a cooker for our own use. We enjoyed good fellowship, and good food, as a lunch prepared by some of the more experienced cooks was shared.

My cooker is built, and I will make my first dish tomorrow.

Today at the Farmer's Market in Bonsall I happened across this group, the San Diego Solar Cookers, a Meetup group of people who enjoy solar cooking. The man I met said they have no upcoming meetings scheduled but something may happen if there is enough interest. Now to do more research....
