Solar Cooking: Solar Brisket and a Potato Bag Harvest

Solar Brisket

 

Recipe

 

1 Brisket

8-10 Mushrooms

1/2 Large Onion

3 Carrots

1 tbsp Chili Powder

1 tsp Onion Powder

1/4 tsp Cayenne

1 tbsp Lawry's Seasoning Salt

1 tsp Garlic Powder

Not adding any liquid at all

 

Steps

 

Mix the spices

 
Rub the brisket with the spices
 

 
Rough chop the carrot and onion, leave the mushrooms whole
 

 
Add around the brisket in the pot
 

 
Cover and place in the solar cooker.  I'm shooting for 250-300 degrees for 5-6 hours.  Like I've said before, when I'm done "cooking" I just won't re-aim the oven and let it cool to warm (180-200 degrees)
 
Results
 




 
Looks great and look at all the fat and liquid.  Take note, added no liquid to this and put the brisket in frozen.
It turned out terrific, juicy with a slight spice to it.  Definitely a keeper.  No Lessons Learned on this one.
 
Potato Harvest
 
Decided to pull a grow bag of potato's tonight and here are the results.  Pretty decent harvest but the best part is the boy digging through them finding the treasure!  3 lb 7.8 oz
 

 

 

 
BTW, we have recouped over $57 at this point.
