I've baked bread and cooked with it sucessfully. Everyting takes twice as long to cook so crockpot type recipes work best. Its quite good. Got it as part of survival preparedness, just in case, and for camp cooking. I have a solar oven which is a commercially

But some other people in my class had better (skills) luck and actually fried eggs... and my calification too... I had to do something like this for the last year at the university.
