Its Saturday morning and the veggie curry is already slow cooking. Have a great weekend everyone

Posting this here so I don't forget about it, but also to share: Appropedia is a whole wiki devoted to sustainability projects, many of which can be easily accomplished by an individual or small organization (not to say that climate change responsibility falls on individuals). Found on the Solarpunk subreddit.

@das_menschy: Solarkocher Gibt's auch Selbstbausätze und Tutorials für. Wobei es auch echt geile Teile zu kaufen gibt.
GoSun is one of those companies that are #passionate about what they do and the products they create. ⭐ #GoSun is the first #company that make #solarovens that can #cook even without the #sun. ☀️

One of the artists featured in the SOLARPUNK CREATURES anthology talks about using solar cooking as inspiration for her art!

@laprice My friend Ray Cirino has a bunch of different #SolarCooker and #RocketStove designs. My fave is the giant repurposed satellite dish
I'm appreciating about the solar oven that I can just eat right out of the cooking tray. Not unlike other cooking methods, but still a nice option to have when clean dishes are running low. 😃

Wanna put this weather to work for you instead of fighting it?
Wanna reduce your electric bill?
Want your air conditioning to be more effective?
Wanna try a fun and different way of cooking food?
Do you have a car windshield sunshade and a sunny location?
Then you can make a solar cooker that really works! This might be easiest #diy #SolarCooker to build!

I haven't tried this one yet (not my photo) but I love how simple it is. If you're on the fence about #SolarCooking because of how complicated a lot of the designs are, maybe give it a go. Free energy that doesn't heat your house or pollute anything.
Looks like fried chicken but it's not! 😆 It's shortcake (dense buttery mildly-sweet cake, for the non-Americans) I made for #StrawberryShortcake. I love this #dessert but baking during strawberry season is usually a recipe for heating your house too. Baking it outdoors in my #SolarCooker using only sunlight solves the problem!
The funny shape is because I tried to take it out of the pan too early, it stuck to the pan and broke so I put it back in to cook longer. Sometimes timing in the #SolarOven is a bit of guesswork, I didn't get it right, whoops.
It turned out really good though! The extra cooking time made it turn really brown with a deep caramel -y flavor. Very good with sliced #strawberries macerated in sugar, and a little scoop of #vegan vanilla ice cream.

Hey! It looks like a lot of people are doing #introduction and reintroduction posts because of the ongoing exodus from other social media.
I don't go by my real name on here, and I prefer not to give any pronouns for the sake of anonymity- refer to me however you like! My avatar is

I toot a lot about #SolarCooking because it's a free, zero pollution way to cook that is ideal for summer cooking because it doesn't heat your home or strain the electric grid. And it's fun! I'm looking to test the boundaries of weather and seasons for solar cooking in my region.
I made my own #SolarOven / #SolarCooker out of free materials (cardboard boxes from the recycling, plastic bags, a scrap piece of clear acrylic) and some cheap supplies that tend to get used once and thrown away. (Glue, tape, aluminum foil). Pics attached (I've made two of them so far!)
People ask me sometimes for plans, and I usually direct them to the Solar Cooking Wiki. https://solarcooking.fandom.com/wiki/Solar_Cooking_Wiki_(Home) That's where I learned most of what I know now (plus my own first hand experience). If you like paper books, Cooking With Sunshine by Lorraine Anderson is an excellent reference. I'm also in the process of writing a zine about solar cooking that I'll distribute for free once it's done!
All the food I make in the solar cooker and otherwise is #vegan because I feel strongly that it's the fairest and most sustainable way to eat. I also focus on making real food from scratch (especially #beans and #bread) to show how useful the solar oven is. It's not an Easy Bake Oven! (Though I have baked a cake in it).
I also toot and share stuff about the #ClimateCrisis, #veganism, #urbanism #ebikes and #libraries, among other things... It's all linked together. I want to be part of a fair and sustainable world for all people. Proud to be an anarchist, #NoGodsNoMasters #NoBordersNoNations
First time cooking #vegetables in my diy trash #SolarOven- kinda funny I hadn't tried it yet!
It's a summer veggie stew inspired by #Emmymade's @emmymade recent "Glop" video (except #vegan). Corn, tomato, zucchini, green pepper, onion and garlic, with homemade #seitan beefy chunks. Seasoned with salt, pepper, oregano and olive oil.
It took a long time for the onion and peppers to soften, but it's pretty good. I put some of my solar-cooked pinto beans in when I ate it. Excellent!
The only time I've used any heating appliances in my kitchen today was the kettle for my morning coffee because the #SolarCooker was doing it instead. So cool! (Literally)

When I was a kid at summer camp, we made "solar cookers"- except that they didn't cook anything! Turns out, just painting a shoebox black and lining it with foil doesn't work. I've been sour on #solarcooker projects with kids ever since, until now.
I decided to make it my end of year class project with my students and do it RIGHT. I made a prototype to teach myself before starting on theirs.
Now I'm obsessed with #solarcooking . This little #solaroven made from trash has cooked vegetable curry, Mexican rice, lentils (from dry!) cinnamon rolls, and blueberry cobbler (all #veganfood of course). I've devoured pages and pages of the Solar Cooking Wiki from SCI and everything solar cooking related at Low Tech Magazine. Help, this is amazing.

Re #SolarCooker, I had something in mind but would not remember the brand name. Now I do: #Lightoven :
https://www.lightoven.de/
( Site is in German) .
A #SolarCooker I would say!? ( If its acceptable to only cook when sun ist out, and waiting for up to an hour maybe for the water to boil).
Or - reading you toot better - would collecting wood (ease of sourcing) and making a fire with that be possible?
I haven’t thought much about #SolarCooking in the past months, but today I revisited the Idea of building my own #Ligthtoven .
With the #Upcycling-assembly kit it's not expensive (~ 30€) , and it would result in a real #SolarCooker:

I'm also thinking about offering this as a project for my local kids holiday activities (#Ferienspaß)
