9. Cooking Without Teflon or Much Oil (New York Times)
   "DuPont, the manufacturer of Teflon, says that its pans are safe and that their surfaces won't decompose, possibly releasing the gas, until the pan's temperature reaches 680 degrees. Some scientists say that an empty pan left on a burner set on high reaches 700 degrees in as little as three minutes." The author rejected the "non-stick" pans and looked for alternatives. "The most important characteristic was how close the pans came to having the nonstick qualities people love about Teflon. Can they sauté and brown, even without oil? Almost as important, how easy are they to clean?"
   
   "After all the tests, there was one pan I fell for: Le Creuset. It is easy to clean, and because of its enamel finish, acidic foods can be cooked without changes to color or taste. The cast iron pans were a very close second." 9-05

17. Solar Oven Experiment (Ethan)
    Provides results of a student experiment on inexpensive (homemade) solar ovens. Found that adding a steel plate inside of a solar oven makes it hotter and also keeps it hotter longer. Also found that a shiny interior results in higher heat than a dark interior color. The oven used a cardboard box inside a cardboard box, covered with a plastic baking bag, to collect and store heat. Suggested improvements included adding another layer or two of cardboard boxes (for increased insulation), another layer of baking bag, and angling the interior surfaces to focus heat more directly on the food to be cooked. 6-01
