Too Wet to Cook. The Learning Continues!
Whakataukī : I ōr ea te tuatara ka puta ki waho. Solve problems by continuing to try solutions. It's the Northern Hemisphere's Solar Cooking Awareness Week. Greetings to all of my solar cooking friends who live north of the Equator! Meanwhile, I have had about three sunny days in the last six weeks. It's our Southern Hemisphere winter, and as the climate changes, local winters are getting wetter. Needless to say, I haven't done a lot of solar cooking lately. However, I am still applying the same kind of thinking. Here's how: There's a kind of solar cooker called a box cooker . It's a bit like a house. It's hottest inside when its window is double-glazed and catches a lot of sun, when it has good insulation, and when thought is put into where dark colours can convert light into heat. I have decided to treat my house as a giant box cooker. While I cannot get outside, I am working away on keeping my house as warm as it can be during the winter months.
