guys we are out here in the backyard
with our mega solar scorcher on this
beautiful sunny warm day and we want to
find out if we can use this solar
scorcher to cook a steak here’s the
basic idea we’re going to try cooking
the steak in this pan in two different
methods the first will involve finding a
spot where the solar scorcher is hot but
not perfectly concentrated so it will
heat the whole steak at once
the second method will involve using the
solar scorcher to heat up the pan itself
and then using that pans heat to cook
the steak just to help out with the
flavor you’ve got a little bit of salt
and a little bit of butter we’ll start
with this smaller piece of steak in the
pan and we need to find a point of focus
to our solar scorcher where there is a
lot of heat but it’s not so concentrated
that’s just going to burn the meat to do
that I have an instant-read thermometer
and I’m going to try to hold this in the
beam and see if I can find a place where
it’s putting out about 200 degrees
Fahrenheit of heat at the moment the
focal point is so hot that it’s actually
melting the paver stone that’s down
there and I don’t want to cook our steak
on that high of a temperature so let’s
find out if there’s a spot in the beam
where it registers on the thermometer as
being hot but not so hot that it’s just
gonna burn things
I think that’s leveling off right about
there so that’s the height that I need
to get the steak and the pan to to get a
nice even cook
[Music]
I think we’re perfect right about there
it’ll keep climbing just a little bit
but our pan is also going to be a little
bit higher and then the steak is over an
inch thick that should raise it up and
mostly I think this is gonna work out
great
now let’s put this into our focused beam
of sunlight and hope the temperature of
the steak slowly starts rising it’s not
going to go very quickly he’ll probably
take at least 10 minutes maybe
considerably more to get up to the
temperature we’re gonna be looking for
which is going to be about 130
Fahrenheit
[Music]
it’s interesting that our oven
thermometer says that it’s about a
hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit where
it is but our instant thermometer was
telling us that it was over 200 I’m not
sure which of our pieces of equipment is
incorrect
I think the oven thermometer is just on
the very edge of the light and so it’s
not heating up quite as much as the
instant-read thermometer was I prefer a
steak that’s cooked just under medium so
I’m shooting for an internal temperature
of about 140 degrees Fahrenheit and then
it will finish off cooking just a little
bit more as I try and sear the top and
bottom I’m getting about a hundred 40
degrees Fahrenheit read anywhere I put
that thermometer so I think it’s time to
start concentrating this beam and see if
we can get a sear on the outside of this
steak to do that we’re going to have to
drop our pan a little bit lower that
wood is now burning almost instantly so
I think we’ve got a good concentrated
bit of sunlight there you just have to
keep this moving around about when we
want to start adding some butter
I think we still need to go lower to
really get into that focal point of that
beam there we go that’s the sizzle I’m
hoping for
[Music]
I think this side is done let’s try and
flip it over get the other side of turn
[Music]
at the stake question is is it a
correctly cooked steak overcooked well
it appears that I have cooked this steak
a little bit more than his ideal I like
it to be a little bit more pink in the
center but that doesn’t mean it’s not
going to taste good very good that’s
really good
very hot good steak for the second part
of the steak we’re gonna try heating up
the pan directly in the sunlight and
then dropping the steak into the hot pan
and see if that gives us any better of a
sear start out with just a little bit of
butter in there we can see from the
butter the pan is nice and hot
what you want for steak
[Music]
a pretty good sizzling sound I’m not
sure if the pan was as hot as I was
hoping for
[Music]
well we now have the focal point on one
part of the pan which is supposed to
heat up the rest of the pan but it
doesn’t look like it’s getting evenly
heated all the way through looks like
there’s just one little spot where the
butter is sizzling and the rest not so
much the inside of our steak is still
showing about 70 degrees Fahrenheit
I’m also concerned because one side of
our steak looks like it’s getting a lot
of heat and the other side looks like
it’s just staying completely raw we’ve
got a burned spot near where the Sun was
hitting the pan and now we’re getting
smoking which means we’re approaching
the flashpoint of the foil and I do not
want to start a grease fire around the
steak I’m afraid that this method just
isn’t going to work so I think I’m gonna
try going back to the first method of
heating the whole pan and steak at once
and see if we can get a slightly better
it was really good confirmed you can
cook a steak with sunlight hmm yeah
these over I’m just gonna eat steak now
there give me the whole next video
there’s just me eating steak guys the
fun doesn’t have to end there’s still
more for you to see that little box up
at the top will transport you directly
to our last video go check it out the
box at the bottom will show you what
YouTube thinks you should be watching
that and if you hit this bomb here in
the middle you’ll be subscribed to our
channel so you never miss out on another
video again don’t forget to ring the
bell and we will see you next one talk to you then
