Brian, Thank you so much for posting this wonderful video! I just saw it four months after you posted it and it is awesome! I cannot thank you enough!

[@wizardofthewest6761]

Hey Brian, I recently watched the movie "Lionheart" that you acted in. You took a kick to the face from Jean-Claude Van Damme - damn!! You have a jaw of steel !

Was randomly looking for reviews on this thing and realized it’s Brian Thompson! As an 80’s baby, I remember you from some of my favorite childhood movies.

Hey movie buffs, make sure you catch the soon to be released Macbeth, with Fran McDormand n Denzel, directed by Joel Coen

The bread looks amazing. I'd love the recipe your wife used. We have a solar oven but never tried bread.

[@holtonaminute]

Agreed! Recipe!

[@holtonaminute]

Ah. 3:51 shows recipe

[@edtv2365]

damn, Brain can make a whole video of just him doing his taxes and it would still be watchable. great guy 👍🏾

[@solarwindmama]

Fantastic video. Thank you. The bread looks perfect. Roger and I have been sharing solar cooking ideas for almost a decade. We have a display and do lectures every summer (except for this year-of course) at the San Diego County Fair at the Del Mar Racetrack.

[@northgeorgiamom8956]

Mine just came in today. Your video helped solidify my decision!! About yo get my bread going!

[@TheSUale]

Thank you for your review. Followed what you did and just bought directly from Haines with no shipping costs. Thank you again.

[@joeylester9766]

That's awesome!! I live about 50 miles south of Atlanta. It gets pretty hot here in the summer and I would love to try that.

[@PineGeri]

I made Braciole in this and dang..DELISH! The sauce simmered beautifully!

[@ruthann8111]

Great presentation. Fun. And yes, Shari is pretty. Loved that sweet sentiment.

[@judyhenson6329]

Mine is supposed to arrive today. It is raining and tomorrow we will have a mix of sleet and snow so it may be a bit before I get to try it out. I'm excited about trying it out. I had never heard of the Haines one either but his videos inspired me to get one.

Thank you Brian! I've been looking into solar ovens for a while! Utah has some very intense sun year around. I'll have to look into this! Nice to see you on KZbin and you guys sound well. Thanks!💗Keep in touch on FB K? We always wonder how you and your family are doing. Take care🤗

Eu sou do brasil e gostei muito da sua atuacao do filME (COBRA OU SNAKE ) traga mais conteudo dos seus trabalhos .

[@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367]

Brian, alas that unique face was a curse and a blessing, you always seemed a skilled actor but your unique look meant you would mostly be cast as villians

[@FlourishingLove]

I made a Copenhagen solar cooker, this week. So far, I have made potatoes in it, and yesterday, a homemade pepperoni (vegan), that came out so much better than making it in the conventional oven. Much, much better, actually. It took 3 hours in the solar cooker, and would have taken 45 minutes in the conventional oven, but that's ok! It was worth the wait! I'm looking forward to trying bread, next. How long did it take for your bread to bake in there?

[@hareth3911]

Did you guys used less water with bread ? Because i heard you should use less water with solar ovens ?

[@spankey2u]

Do you think the bread would have been taller if you had let it rise again before putting it on "to cook"? I'm just curious. It looked good.

[@brianthompson5221]

Shari here...yes, I think an additional rise would have helped it get taller. Always tweaking the process. I also baked a cake in the solar oven that came out amazing, and recently cooked beets that I subsequently pickled...fun to try new dishes "under the sun."

[@mikeholman4284]

Awesome! Are you still using it?

[@brianthompson5221]

Yes

[@redeemedvintageseamstress4728]

The recipe your wife used looks like it makes 3 loaves from Allrecipes. Did you just use "one loaf" of dough in the cooker? That would be helpful for me to know. Thanks!

[@brianthompson5221]

Shari here. I split it into two loaves.... just refrigerated the other half til baking it a couple days later.

[@donnarichey144]

How long did it actually bake the bread? Thank you

[@jillcook6930]

It says 2 hours and 10 minutes.

[@angelarogers3137]

It looks flimsy though. Is that cardboard or plastic surround?

[@brianthompson5221]

If your talking about the reflector, it is mylar coated plastic type rigid board. It is very light weight but fit for its purpose. Excellent for home use. If you need something rugged for travel or daily use, you will want a heavy metal reflector.

[@SallyCrD]

Hello, are you still using your Solar Oven?

[@brianthompson5221]

Yes, and it's holding up great

[@paulwilson3434]

Very good video Yes hope Roger makes a lot of bread. Change the world ? No only the return of JESUS Christ. Yes your wife is very pretty 🤩. I see you played in a movie 🍿 good voice - you could sell anything
