The change in temperature of the water.
What is the purpose of the aluminum foil?
Black container that holds food
All angled sides lined with aluminum foil
Clear plastic over container
What is the purpose of the aluminum foil?
To reflect the light onto the cooking area.
Black container that holds food
All angled sides lined with aluminum foil
Clear plastic over container
What is the purpose of the clear plastic cover over the container?
Black container that holds food
All angled sides lined with aluminum foil
Clear plastic over container
What is the purpose of the clear plastic cover over the container?
To block the warmed air in the container from escaping.
