Today we decided to use our sun oven to cook a egg. With the cooler Washington weather we thought we would easily cook a soft boiled egg in about an hours time. We found our focal point and placed our egg in the cooker. As the sun moves through the sky we must make adjustments to keep a steady cooking temperature. Approx. every 15 minutes we move it ever so slightly to follow the path of the sun. 
Unfortunately, when we moved the egg to make the adjustments - it broke! We were excited however, to see how much it had already cooked in just 15 minutes.
We were much more careful at our second attempt making a soft boiled egg, making adjustments every 15 minutes for 1 hour. We brought our egg inside and began to crack and peel it - it seemed very well cooked and had a slightly different smell than a egg boiled in water.
Considering the cooking time, we agreed to share the egg rather than spend the afternoon cooking several :) When cut in half, it revealed a beautiful HARD cooked egg. Which we promptly consumed and thoroughly enjoyed :)
