Alright, today I'm going to do another test of my parabolic cooker.
In my last video that I did about this
I mentioned that I needed to use a different method of mounting the pan. So today I'm
using my camera tripod
to do that and I think it's going to work out just fine
Today I'm gonna cook some Italian sausage along with some peppers and onions
so I'm gonna go ahead and put it on the tripod and see how long it takes
one thing I was concerned about is how much sun this tripod would block but
I see it's gonna work out pretty well
There's a little bit
blocked right here and also there's a shadow here cast by the leg and then a little
shadow back here
that comes from the pan
The reason this works out pretty good is that these satellite dishes are not perfect
parabolic shape.
they actually ...
the satellite signal would normally come in from what is the top of the dish and
bounce back toward the bottom of the dish where the receiver is at
and so because of that I have this thing pointing straight up but sun is actually at a
slight angle so it can come in here between the legs of the tripod without
getting blocked and then it can bounce up here to the pan which can be off
center a little bit, so I think this is actually going to work out well for use with the
tripod.
Alright, the food has been in there about ten minutes and I see the
lid of the pan is steamed up a little bit so I want to go ahead and open it up
stir it around a little bit
and see how it's doing.
OK, it's been about 25 minutes and this looks pretty much done
All the meat looks brown and I see that it is boiling a little bit there in the middle but I'm
gonna stir it around a little bit
and give it maybe another 10 minutes just to be sure.
