you should be using a black or very dark pot. The aluminum deflects some of the heat. The cooking bags are a good idea too as achsofromm already said. nice set up though, I was thinking the same thing but kind of want something more permanent. Would love some ideas if anybody comes up with anything. Thought about coating the inside of a wheel barrow with mylar and using a cast iron pot in an oven bag. Thoughts on this?????

Awesome. Bought our solar ovens for a buck apiece at the segunda. My students have been using window shade ovens for about five years now. They think it is "ghetto" until they eat their chicken wing adobo or shrimp gumbo. We use canning jars, without the rubber gasket, painted black.

Rain won't DAMAGE your setup, I intended to say. Cheers.

Good. The beauty of using the windshield guard, is that you aren't cutting it up, so you can still use it for the intended purpose by just unclipping it. I love truly dual-purpose items like this. I got rained out of solar cooking today and had to finish my lentils and rice in the slow cooker, and steel cut oats in the microwave. The baked potatoes I had started will just go back in the refrigerator until perhaps tomorrow. Hey, that's another benefit. Rain won't even your setup, I don't think.

Looks good, and if you put the pot in a clear plastic Reynolds Turkey baking bag and seal the opening with a twist tie, it will cook much better....faster and hotter by trapping the heat generated by the black pot into the sealed bag. Each bag should last at least a month even if you use it every day. They sell for about $2.50 for a box of 2. The thing is, they won't melt and/or contaminate your food like other bags might. Happy solar cooking. dkw

Hey, thanks for the advice. I go looking for one of those bags soon. I couldn't believe how easy it was to make it. I've since added a slight refinement - I've replaced the tape with a spring clip to keep the sun shade in position.
