You put ice in the top, and it keeps the lid a bit cooler so that the steam condenses and drips down on the food, keeping it moist.



Whatever I get, I hope to get a black or dark coloured one because I'd like to use it in the solar cooker that I hope to buy one day.

I'm all about the green and sustainable these days

(Just have to sell the house and downsize before I can afford it, so send good house-selling prayers and thoughts if you can, I'd appreciate it muchly) xx

Good luck with the sale of the house Ursy. With all of the good energy that you 3 put into the home it will surely sell.

The condensation of steam was not a problem for me with the Dutch oven but whatever seems a better fit for you makes sense.

What kind of temperatures can you get up to with the solar cooking that you are interested in? I am taking a good hard look at the solar industry right now for another reason entirely and am impressed with how many people are reporting smooth sailing with new solar systems that are not only providing electricity but generating more than they need. So power goes back to the grid. Fascinating.
