So, @rek and I got super interested in these vacuum tubes that people put on their rooftops.

We've just cooked our first meal with the sun, and are still a bit shocked at how well it worked out. It's pretty cool out today, it was able to cook potatoes thoroughly in an hour.

We've been cooking from solar for the past 4 days. So far we've tried potatoes, seitan, brussel sprouts and today we're cooking legumes for the first time.

🌻 The big advantage of using the sun to cook our meals is that instead of using the pressure cooker over the gas stove, which creates a lot of moisture in the galley, we'll be able to make our meals in the summer without heating up the habitat!

It blows my mind how hot it gets, check out the steam coming out of the vacuum tube-

Soaked dried chickpeas overnight, perfectly solar-cooked in about 1h30. No steam inside the boat, no fuel used. After an hour we re-oriented the reflectors.

Next, we'll try rice and bread.

🌻 I'll stop freakin' out about this soon, promise.

Made some pasta sauce(ground beets, tvp, kale, garlic, zataar) and left it out for 45 minutes in the vacuum tube, in the afternoon sun. Turned out so good.

I am so into this. Did you buy the cooker or make it yourself?

we bought the vacuum tube and reflectors combined. We don't have access to a shop where we could make it.
Devine Lu Linvega
that was the first thing we tried 😀 and yes.
