I've been working on my Rand solar oven and I'm looking for something I can
cook something really interesting and who do you think is the top guy the top
result of the ranch solar oven out of two thousand one hundred and ten results
my friend chris di wire is my fact he's got the top two
Oh who's this fella that's there was the original cradle that I that's what I
working on today i I have done some alterations to it and made it a much
better cradle that's me again that's my friend Darren what are the odds to my
friends being in the top five videos out of a couple of thousand
there's Darren again Chris I don't know who Ben is I'll have to go look at Ben's
videos or blue Van Daan maybe that's blue Vandana okay Chris band don't know
him I don't wreck it that's not what I'm
looking for there that's interesting
Ben there's a BC truck feather again ever since I've made that I have not
been happy with that and I've altered it a great deal and it's it looks a lot
nicer and it's gonna work a lot better too Chris made some meatballs Danner's
Ben again solar oven quest
Chris again there's that person been solar cooker jar huh that sounds
interesting
mr. Chris again yeah it's funny that me and Darren and Chris are the top from
the top I don't know five or six and how many yet I'm gonna have one more to add
to it Saturday I believe I'm gonna cook some
potatoes but this time I'm gonna do them up a little better I'm gonna slice them
and then smother butter on them and put them in there and in my other solar
other than my all-american solar oven this weekend Saturday I'm gonna cook
some chicken leg quarters and I'll have both these going at the same time I'll
probably do two separate videos one of each oven just because I want to have a
rand solar oven video so I can get my name in lights again see you saturday
yeah today's the day I've been working on my land solar oven for a little while
I've got it a couple of years ago yeah not last summer but the summer
before and here's the thing about the ranch solar oven it's round so you have
to figure out how to hold it from rolling over when you use it and it's
only on the inside it's only four inches across the center so you got to find
things that you can sort of mold to the to the center of it and what I would do
is just pinch this a little bit you know make these sides come in a little more
and it will fit right in there so it's there's two things that it has that are
I'll make it a little difficult to use and that is that it's so so little that
fits inside of it unless you just cook in the tray which you could do but I
don't see how you could hold precious butter in that tray for very long so
today I'm using these
these little foil of loaf pans and this afternoon I'm going Walmart and I'm
gonna see if I can't find something that I can alter on my bandsaw to make it fit
in there but until then I'm going to cook some potatoes and these big one and
a little one for me let make sure they're going to yeah and I'm getting
the glasses on I'll show you how I'm gonna do all of these I'm gonna cut some
slices about half way through about 3/8 of an inch thick each one yes I'm using
my favorite knife and Saturday I'll start giving them away thanks to Rick
Arkansas prepper I think he has slightly altered his name Arkansas prepper
Northeast Arkansas something like that I have to look
all right there we go and I don't want to break them but I do want to kind of
pry them open a little bit because the next step is very important that's the
butter step all right
you see that okay yeah
go on get in there you know you won't do
now I'm gonna shove butter and each one of them little slots and then I'm gonna
mine only my I'm cooking two for my wife and her stomach is so delicate that I
don't put any seasoning or anything extra on nothing I cook for her there's
very little that she can eat without it bothering her so I'm real careful about
spikes when I cook her stuff so mine I'm gonna finish cutting the other one
there and putting butter down inside each slot and then I'm gonna put a
little coating of salt and pepper on the top and put them in here and would do my
wife's the same way but just butter no salt and pepper and I'll see out there
at the solar oven all right that's what they look like I'm fixing the dragon
that bitter to the Sun of them and put them in send me the Sun it's 9:30 in the
morning I should have potatoes I don't know two or three hours I think I've
cooked potatoes before in this and honestly I cannot remember how long it
took the cook them and it's slightly overcast so it may take a little longer
but we'll see oh no see yet this over here we go there's my my new cradle
and if I end up liking this I'm gonna this is so brittle it's gonna fall apart
soon but if this works out well I'm gonna take his plastic off and put
plywood on and that will be my dedicated rand solder oven table so here we go
9:30 and yeah I don't have it aim directly that the Sun is coming from
this direction and actually when the Sun probably you know 11 from 11:00 to 1:00
the sun's gonna be perfect so this may take a while just because I'm not gonna
sit here and aim this all day but I'll see you when the potatoes are ready
well they look done I'm gonna take a taste here in just a second I'm trying
to get to a part that my my the least likely one that'll be done is would be
on the bottom I would think so
Oh steamin there's probably gonna be too hot to eat holy crap that's hot they're
done I'm fixin to get these out and pour all that wonderful butter across the top
of these and maybe a little more salt and pepper
I like that ran a solar oven it's uh different and like I said the problem is
finding things that will fit in there I mean you could put a potato just in this
tray you know without the aluminum foil tray you could do that but I don't have
to clean them up all right let me get to eatin well there's my solar oven cart
with the grill cover over it and thank you to the two people that suggested a
grill cover that was a good idea and and I told you I was gonna send you my
reflectors but I'm afraid I'm gonna need them this thing doesn't get hot enough
quick enough so I'm gonna use the reflectors on either side of this to get
this one to heat up quicker I got it up to 250 and it took four hours to get it
that high so I'm obviously not getting enough Sun in there but I like it and I
like it enough that uh I'm going to take that plastic off and make a piece of
plywood for that because uh that's a handy table and I can't think of
anything else to set my solar oven on thanks for watching yellow potatoes were
good so the last couple of days have been craving a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
and I've got me one it's been years since I had one looks like just normal
old Reese's Peanut Butter Cup do you know what the MSO bees have done
look at the size of that little rinky-dink they have knocked a half an
inch off of that thing tiny little thing I can't believe they've done that that's
barely worth buying right there and that big old package that tiny little thing
just ain't right says who
yeah I'm 5 today
