  • i wonder how much oil is in that pan cuz everything seems to be swimming in it, useing solar power is awesome but u should watch ur cholesterol lol

  • I miss the bathing suit Hot very Hot!!!

  • awesome job, thanks for posting im so glad i subscribed

  • itS boobie girl again xD

  • Hi Denise and Dan, What about VERY CLOUDY conditions? Unlike you, a lot of us I live where the weather is very often rainy and windy. I use. I realise the area of collection may have to be relatively large - I'm curious to know HOW large, and how practical it would be, using silver paper reflectors and my two large fresnel lenses, to wean myself off gas and electricity. Gratefujl if you can help. It could change the global public attitude to solar cooking. Bruce Thomson in New Zealand.

  • ofcourse the woman does the cooking :L

  • Not sure how well this would work in the UK...

  • @m52spy no it won't, we use queen's energy

  • Great stuff! Thank you! Do you have a DVD?

  • Great for making campfire-made Krispy Kremes! =) Really appreciate the safety tip at the end. The slow motion really burned it into our minds and thankfully not because our bodies got burned!

  • Sweet

  • The whole method looks dangerous to me!

    Wasn't that smoke coming off the cook surface when you re-directed the light source? Would seem that you'd better not let your arm or hands get under that sunbeam... yowser!

    Give me a good old "dutch oven" over hot coals any day. (It's what the American pioneers used.)

  • looks yummy

  • Nice job, But you are making me hungry!

  • I just saw your video: "INSTANTANEOUS SOLAR WATER HEATER HOT WATER " with the 35" parabolic mirror. I would like plans for this where can I get them?

    Also what about parts? Can an 8" mirror be used?

    thanks

  • Good idea and video. It would be nice to see a mirror reflect the lightbeam onto the bottom of the pan also. I guess it might be better cooking if it works, but slightly more dangerous to the user, so I guess some safter measure would havea to be thought up.

  • Forgive me about the misspelling of cooking in the last comment. I know what caused this, I had been watching "The Swedish Chef" on the Muppets...

  • Hey "demofish" and "airguitarfooker" - Those are both GREAT modfications to this project. A Venetian Blind arrangement on the Fresnel lense is a simple "Off-The-Shelf" solution for temperature control. The "Morror Reflector" is also good as the heat is applied to the bottom of the pan and you are now coooking in a conventional fashion only "GREEN" . Also the mirror will not break or melt reflecting the sunlight.

  • 1:25 probably the same power that kills all those guys doing deep sea drilling for oil!

  • you could install adjustable shades over tne lens to regulate the intensity

  • You guys are well prepared for peak oil...great job...

  • Thanks for the safety tip

  • all that's needed is powdered sugar and cinnamon. I like this.

  • @coondogtheman1234 - I know what you mean, when I was a kid in Boy Scouts we did this at almost every campout. It was a real treat!

  • @1foxtrot70

    I bet it was. I wasnt in the boy scouts although I roll my t-shirts boy scout style only to save space and it looks neater. It's so fun cooking with the sun, especially if you dont need to pay to use it. (E.g. gas or electric).

  • Why dont reflect the sunlight to a mirror or something UNDER the frying-pan...that shoots up the heat to something that are keeping the heat good, making it like a "hot owen plate"...? Sry for bad english, im retarded...

  • @Airguitarfooker probably would break the mirror

  • We're coming to you guys house for dinner... fish and chips maybe???

  • Gosh Darn it Dan, I have told you before (the time when you were drilling holes) don't be so hard on those cast iron pans

  • Gosh Darn it Dan, I have told you before (the time when you were drilling holes) don't be so hard on those cast iron pans

  • well yeah, you can throw water onto a skillet of any kind of frying-hot oil, and that would happen.

  • I enjoyed the video and i enjoyed Denise as the host. I know you are married Denise but perhaps you have a sister who is single?

  • After thinking it over, I'm wondering if it might be better to focus the beam below the cooking surface and then reflect it up to the bottom of the cooking surface. The "stove" could be a 3-sided box with a swiveling mirror in the bottom. I think this arrangement would help protect against eye damage and exposure from reflected radiation you might get from focusing the beam on the upper surface.

  • mmm beaver tails! Add brown sugar and cinnamon!!

  • oh boy fish and a cook out with no fire

  • man i like you kind of cook out . and a fire lo l were can i get one of them

  • Comment removed

  • That hot steam/oil mix at the end is also very flamable/practically "combustable" when the heat/ignitionn source is still being used. The flames would be several feet high. So never try to put out an oil fire with water, use a lid if you have it, or special fire extinguisher that can be used on oil.

  • @trailkeeper See the mythbusters episode that covers this very subject. They got flames 30+ feet high!!!

  • obliviate. Part of Speech: n. Definition: a memory charm or spell in the Harry Potter books

    lol obliterate is a bit better!

    Cool vid!!!!

  • Wow that's awsome!! Where did you get the spot lens.

  • It's fortunate you did not have an open fire near the oil else it wouldve ignited

  • "these over here were experiments" ... lol

    I bet that made some interesting video!

  • wow i never thought of transfering the sun energy to a pan and cooking........i think im gonna have to look into building a solar stove. great video thanks for the killer ideas now in my head..

  • I had a roof kettle flash on me once,, 3rd degree burns

  • this is some cool stuff, they should have taught that in boy scouts

  • Looks like Hungarian  Langos

  • ┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐ Fuck the new layout! ┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐ Fuck the new layout!

  • Excellent, very unfair to stove manufactures and electricity supply companies. Those poor corporations will need to get the government to impliment regulations regarding the sun. Cheers.

  • I use my laptop for toasting bread, after using it for a while, simple placing the bread on the laptop will toast it, it will even toast the hands too !! Toshiba ,.leading innovation .

  • Nice!

    anybody know if its possible to heat the pan using heat conduction threw some sort of aluminum or copper rods or plates or some shape so you don't have to have direct sunlight to keep something heated? possibly even control heat energy enough for slow cook?

  • @eonomen YOu could possibly use copper rods as a heat conductor and run it through something with really good heat retention. Maybe ceramic, clay, brick, cast iron...I dunno

    Or perhaps you can use mylar or something to reflect the beam so it goes under the pan

  • @eonomen In one video they use a mirror to heat the pan from underneath, giving a lower temperature and more controll

  • I love you guys!!!!

  • Solar-powered donuts! =^[.]^=

  • The bread looked good but every guy likes an action movie even if it has no plot, Great explosion Dan.

    You should think of making a video or add to every video "what not to do or what happens when" that would be cool

  • bravo!!

  • nice.

  • You guys are awesome! Thanks for sharing! This would work great for my friend who lives in Arizona.

  • You can't beat a pretty chick cooking in welding goggles! ;o)

  • GOD BLESS YOU.

  • cool vid!!!

  • cool! great vids!

  • Okay, this was your best ever video, and you have had some great videos.

  • Great job Denise and Dan way better temp control this time. Nice to see some very practical uses of simple almost free solar tech. Makes me want to fabricate a lens mirror combo with adjustable pan stand for heat from below and controllable temp. Never use the stove on a sunny day again !!!

  • the advertisement after the video Blocks selecting any of your videos previewed thereafter on the you tube screen.

    Tell google you don't want ads blocking your own content!

  • Dan please get a thick piece of steele where one side is full power the other set the pan on I bet it would be perfect. That way you don't have to move the lenz and anytime you want to cook you have an already hot griddle. You could do one better and season the piece of steele just like they do with cast iron pans.

    Ever get any fiber optic they can be aimed at the base of that piece of metal and it would have heating upper and lower.

  • What part of Florida?

  • Hey there,

    can someone tell me what she said right at the beginning of this video?? .. it was her name but before that there was anything but cuz im german i dont understand .. pls if there is anybody willing to help me, just write me privat massage!!!!!!

    Thanks sooo much!!

    BTW: Nice Video, good job!!

  • .do a vid for people toss an ice cube in it,it will look better,well i think lol

  • Can you do a show on What types of TV 's come with a Fresnel lense ? Thanks .

  • me and my buddies used to pour water in hot oil all the time...but what exactly causes that reaction?

  • The heat instantly turns the water into steam, causing an explosion of steam...pretty simple concept, but very cool.

  • @Slayermachete wow. i feel really stupid now. if i thought about it i could've figured that one out. haha. i guess i was too lazy. thanks for reply!

  • Not a "reaction" just instant steam and displacement.

  • @S81044 thanks for the reply!

  • why is the fish-video not available in my country? (germany)

  • How hot is that oil? Bread is easy to fry.

  • I love these cooking videos. I wonder if solar tastes better than conventional heating methods like gas, electric, etc.

  • make some practical solar videos... these are all very impractical!

  • You need to build a fresnel lens oven.

  • haha that asome!

  • wen you moved the lens, it looked like the table was burning

  • Best channel on You Tube by far!

  • Fascinating demonstration...Thanks..5* Bob

  • yaw are just to cool,, love it!

    5 stars!!
