Does anyone use a solar oven?

We use our solar oven as often as possible.  So far I have not been all that creative.  I usually make pot roasts, whole chickens, pork loins or some kind of red sauce or soup.  We usually cook something that doesn't require to much timing.

We made ratatouille, boy did it smell good.  We sat outside just sniffing away and commenting on how good it smelled. Neighbors came over and commented on good it smelled.  By the time we were done admiring it, we dished it our onto our plates and it did smell good.  Unfortunately we overcooked it by a couple of hours and it was pretty much mush.....but it did smell good.

When monsoon is over we would like to try huevos rancheros or muffins or quick breads.  We have not baked in it at all.  We know we need to preheat the oven before making baked goods.  Not real good about that either.
