Frequently Asked Questions

How is the food stored after cooking?

Kitchen Capers
Depending on your preference I will package the food either family style, double, or single serving. The majority of your meals will be stored in your freezer; however, a few nights' meals are also stored in your refrigerator, especially if one meal is a fresh fish selection. These recipes have been tested for freezer-friendliness to ensure the retention of color, texture and flavor during the reheating process. Refrigerated meals should be consumed within the first three days.

Should I stir food while it is cooking?

Frequently asked questions | Solar Oven Society
No. Stirring to prevent scorching isn’t necessary because the temperature of the food rises evenly; there are no hot spots. It is almost impossible to burn food in a solar oven. Additionally, each time you open the oven and the pots, you let warm air escape and cool air come in. This slows the cooking process.
