Since it was so hot that the frosting on my donut ...melted and slid off, so hot that my silver necklace was burning me...out of direct sunlight, so hot that children will not touch a door handle on the car. I decided that it was time for another
hotter than he!! experiment.
Since we were baking every time we got in the car, I was sure that it was hot enough to bake cookies.
We preheated them on the dash board on the way home from the store, then put them on the pan. It was 106 F. outside the car, and by the time 15 minutes had passed, it was around 130 (according to my candy thermometer). The kids did a little guessing - it would get up to 110, or 115 in the car. It would take about 2 hours to bake. (Package directions called for 350 for 8-10 minutes.) We took them out after an hour though, because the temp actually started to go down after reaching a high of 140 - next time we'll start at noon, instead of 5 p.m.)
We checked on them after a half an hour, and they were spreading. But after an hour we only succeeded in melting all the oil out of them. They were somewhat solidified.
But don't worry. None of them went to waste.

Too funny. I can't wait to see what happens when you start the cookies out before 5 o'clock! Craziness... that's one way to keep the kids entertained!

That is awesome! And I need a cookie now.
You could dry fruit leather nicely in there. There's a recipe for rhubarb fruit leather on my cookbook site. Tasty.
