ER Solar Cooking project: Chicken rice
With the results of the water boil test, I felt quite positive that this would work so I waited another day where the sun was good and went ahead to try…
chicken breast marinated in soya sauce, onions, garlic, etc… & 1 cup rice
mix in
ok all setup and ready to go
wired the solar panel to the battery terminals.
Sun-timer: I also hacked an Ikea bedside clock and a solar garden light to give a more accurate reading of “sun-hours”
basically when the sun shines a certain strength the clock starts moving. If a cloud passes over the clock pauses.
in its housing. Start at “0000 hours”
ok timer set and ready to go
Looks like it’s working
ok let’s leave it and see what happens
after 6 hours 10 minutes of “sun-time”.
here’s the result… I felt the chicken needed a little more cooking rice was ok. Perhaps should have left out the cornstarch…
it tasted ok actually… the Ranger who was with me finished it all… lol
With this ended the series of testing. The limitations and contributing factors of this contraption are now better understood. Back to the drawing board for an improved version. Till next time…
