The solar oven in fall, processing squash

Here is another amazing discovery about the solar oven, it makes cooking a squash a whole lot easier in the fall. You can just cut it in half and put one half each, covered, out in the solar oven all day and then you don't even have to monitor it or think about it again. The squash is ready that afternoon or at dinnertime when it's time to eat.

Right now there is a pumpkin processing out there, we got a sugar pumpkin from the farmer's market, spooned out the guts and seeds, then put each half upside down in the solar oven pots. Put a lid on those and put them outside just as they are, all day, no water necessary, and you have just made your own pumpkin pie filling. Easy!

The seeds are soaking in very salty water, and tomorrow they will roast in one of the solar ovens to become a snack.

By the way, other squashes make great pumpkin pie as well. I just ate a bunch of pieces of butternut squash pie, it was delicious.
