Name some food or recipes you can cook in a tin can in the sun?

breads? breakfast rolls? cookies?


If you've cooked the food yourself then tell how long you cooked it to get good results.Name some food or recipes you can cook in a tin can in the sun?
I found something here. I did a search for %26lt;solar cooking recipes%26gt; and this came up.

The soups looked good.

Mark's 30-second Bean Soup


1 cup of mixed beans (7-bean, 10-bean etc. - frequently sold in bulk bins)


1 bouillon cube (chicken, beef, vegetable, etc.) or 1 teaspoon bouillon broth powder





The '30 seconds' refers to how long it takes to prepare this soup. I'm really lazy, and almost never pre-soak the beans. Put beans and bouillon in 32 oz. black-painted mason jar. Fill jar with water to within 1 inch of neck line. Seal with black-painted ring and lid (oil the inside parts of the lid and ring first). Cooks in 2.5 to 8 hours depending on conditions, solar cooker type, etc.





Many spaghetti sauces come packed in 26 oz. canning jars. If you've converted one of these 'free' jars into a cooking jar (by painting it black), follow the same recipe except use only 3/4 cup beans.

Solar Veggie Puree


Put an assortment of garden vegetables in a solar cooker. You can use carrots, potato, summer squash, green bean, beet, tomato, winter squash etc. Use what ever method you prefer for the cooking (black painted canning jar, black pot in cooking bag, etc.) You can be creative according to what vegetables you have on hand.





Cook them until tender -- they can be slightly under cooked and still be good.





Puree or mash the cooked vegetables until smooth. Add your favorite seasonings -- salt, pepper, garlic powder, curry powder, ginger, nutmeg etc. You may want to add a bit of water, broth, cream or butter or oil to create the texture you like. That's all there is to it.





Note 1: Potato helps add a smooth texture to the puree so I usually include a few small ones to the group of vegetables. Note 2: raw onion cooked with the other vegetables does not taste as good as saut茅ed onion or onion powder added later. I prefer to add onion powder along with other spices while pureeing.





Today I cooked a few small new potatoes, 2 carrots, a hand full of green beans, 2 summer squash and then pureed them together with a pinch of curry, salt and pepper. I added no broth or cream but it was still VERY GOOD.Name some food or recipes you can cook in a tin can in the sun?
Well, in the movies homeless people usually cook beans in a tin can. I personally would not want to chance cooking anything in a can in the sun, you know there is a little thing called botulism, and salmonella.
Some cook rations on the dashboard. These don't even need that. Never cook anything in the can it came in. Never. Don't store it even in the fridge if opened in the can it came in. Don't use can bent or otherwise damaged. Don't give them away.
