Solar cooking has all sorts of surprising health benefits. In this episode Scott and Patrick discuss just a few of them:

• Solar cooking preserves more of the naturally-occurring nutrients of food by cooking at slower and lower temperatures.
• There's almost no air movement in a solar cooker, allowing the food to stay moist, tender, and flavorful. Sun-baked roasts are tastier and more succulent, and sunbaked bread has unparalleled taste and texture.
  • Temperatures in a solar oven rise slowly and evenly, allowing complex carbohydrates time to break down into simple sugars, emanating subtle natural flavors.
