Purpose

Watching food cook


Description

A reflecting oven made out of aluminium foil.


Materials & Tools

Materials:

Aluminium Foil
A few large stones or a small log.

Tools:

Scissors (optional)


Method


Take a pice of aluminium foil about 120cm (4 foot) long. Fold it in half with the dull sides together. Fold in half again, but open out this second fold so that there is about 90° between the two pieces. Cut (or tear) two pieces of foil to fit into the open sides of the large piece. fasten them, shiny side in, by folding the edges together. It will actually be more stable if you fold the end foils double.

Put the oven down, close to and facing an open fire. Rest the back on some large stones or a small log so that the oven tilts forward slightly.

Put food in the oven, and watch it cook. when the top looks done, turn it over.


Notes

The fire should be red hot with flames.
