Using Solar Panels In Las Vegas Homes To Cook Meals

The use of Solar Panels in cooking is
becoming a trend in every household today including Las
Vegas homes. Solar powered cooking is a very simple process, and it is a
fun project not only for adults the kids as well. This activity lets you bond
with your kids along with all the members of your family, so this is really a
beneficial thing to conduct.

You can use the materials that are already
present at your Las Vegas home, so you won’t
only have fun, but without any costs as well. You need to have a heavy duty
aluminum foil and some masking tapes to make reflectors. If you don’t have any
thermometers that are suitable for hanging in your oven, you may have to
purchase it. But you shouldn’t worry because it only costs for about $3 only.

The first thing that you should do is get
two cardboard boxes that have lid flaps. The two boxes should differ on sizes
in order for the smaller one fits the larger one with room to fill the space
with newspaper for insulation. If the flaps are not big enough, try using
another box to cut and tape to form the appropriate size.

The size of the smaller box should be big
enough to hold a covered pot. It should be either thin dark enamel with a lid
or a Pyrex dish with a lid. You can also prefer to use an iron pot with a lid,
it can either be a glass or iron. Meanwhile, the thin, cheap enamel cookware
can be best because it heats through quickly and does not reflect the heat away
from the food.

You will also need a piece of glass that is
large enough to cover the smaller box. A window is great, but a picture frame
glass is preferred. Best option for this is a tempered glass. You should cover
the lid flaps of the large box, but on the inside only with aluminum foil. You
also need to be able to open them out for the sun to reach its light on the
foil and reflect down the box.

Eventually put an oven thermometer inside
where you can see it through, and set the box under the sun for at least 30
minutes ahead to reheat.

Put your food into the smaller pot or Pyrex
dish along with the cover, and replace the glass top to keep the heat inside.
This will work as a slow cooker for you. Keep in mind that you should start
early in the morning and let it take a while to finish. Have fun cooking using
the sunlight in Las Vegas home with your
family.
