Box Oven


Okay, so last night was good! We made a box oven for Family Home Evening, for our year supply. I'm amazed that it actually worked!! I stole the idea from my cousin.
It's VERY EASY and even FUN to make.
Here's the Box Oven instructions:
SUPPLIES:
1 empty cardboard box with lid
heavy duty aluminum foil
foil tape
4 empty soda cans
charcoal
pie tin

PREPARATION:
Get the charcoal ready to cook by starting them and waiting until they are white. This will take about 20 minutes. Cover box TOTALLY in aluminum foil and tape, inside and out, flaps and all, better too much than too less. Any exposed areas will ignite. Fill the cans half way with water, sand or pebbles. Lay box flat on its side so the opening is facing you. Put soda cans in the box on the four corners so it can hold up what you are cooking. Place the dish with your food on the soda cans. Place one charcoal in the pie tin into the box under the dish for every 20 degrees you want your oven to be. You will need 17 ½ coals for 350 degrees. Cover/Close Lid-and cook away!
