Detail of a rectangular solar box oven with reflective coroplast reflectors in place. Through the somewhat hazy transparent plastic lid can be seen 4 chocolate croissants on 2 reused aluminum trays. There are pools of melted butter around them, which means the croissants won't turn out as well texturally as if the laminated dough had stayed room temperature up to the moment of being put in hot oven.

My interrupted good time yesterday made me weak at the grocery store today: got Trader Joe's take-and-bake croissants. Because of AC, the trailer is too cool for them to rise soon enough, so I took the risk of putting the oven outside backwards, without reflectors to warm up the dough.
As you can see, the butter melted too fast. So now I've turned the SOS Sport Oven around, put the reflectors on, and am trying to bake them.
My impatience will make them less than ideal.
