Dear Friends,
We brought a Solar Cooking Kit and a Water Pasteurization Indicator to Nuevo
Amanacer last April. I purchased them from Solar Cookers International. We
cooked potatoes and heated water which reached the necessary temp for safe
drinking.
I hope they still have them and continued to use them - they're just so used to
using wood. Looking forward to knowing how the cookers worked out after the Feb
trip.
Buena Suerte,
Lynda Morella
