I enjoy trying some of your receipies but have found that a completely frozen chicken, pork roast or beef roast works great. I take it from the freezer, season the meat, add one tablespoon water, put it in without preheating my sun oven. After an hour and a half, I carefully add any vegetables I like then cook for another hour. Everything is very tender, juicy and delicious. True no hassle cooking. Everyone raves about my food. I have so much fun cooking with my sun oven.
