Today was solar cooking day. I cooked salmon, corn on the cob and coucous in the solar cooker. I put it out in the yard about 12:30 and collected it for dinner about 6 pm. During day, moved it around to capture the best sunlight. The cooking pot got so hot, I needed pot holders to keep from burning my fingers. The reflective material of the cooker was so bright, I had to wear sunglasses to work with it. 
I found an interesting way to cook corn on the cob via solar cooking. The jist of it is you cook the corn in the husk and silk. There's enough moisture in the husk, so no water is needed. After the corn is donw, you cut off the stem end, and the corn "slips" out of the husk and silk. Pretty neat discovery! I was going to cut the kernels and put with the couscous, but had to try the corn on the cob, and just kept trying until it was all eaten.In the solar cooker, in a glass container, place:
1/3 cup dry couscous
1/3 cup onion, chopped
A little wine
A little pomergranate juice
Pepper, Mrs Dash
Cook until done (couple hours).
