Nice.
This is a much better use for a reflector.

They are made to reflect light out, so I figured, why not try running one backwards?
How did it perform?
How long did it take before they were done?

Got up to about 220 F at best, but pretty sure could get it hotter on a good day easy.
Cupcakes took a couple of hours, but rose and cooked through.

You know, not bad. To be absolutely fair, not technically quite as good as if cooked in a normal oven, but as a successful "what the hell I'm going to try it" they tasted pretty damn good. I'm pretty sure more "slow cooker" friendly dishes would be better, but I didn't want soup, I wanted cupcakes.
awesome !!! i love it

Actually if you look close it is a similar photo taken at the same time. The guy that wrote the article is a close friend of mine.
