OK Niles here are some other ideas to look at:
- Boiling water from friendly RVers or fast food shops, use thermos flask to slow-cook
- Solar oven on top of the rear rack
- Solar and hub generator trickle-charging of batteries; use these on some sort of thermal heat exchanger to increase efficiency rather than directly using the electricity to produce microwaves. Maybe the heat exchanger could be linked to a cooling vest so you stay cool while dinner gets hot.
- Tour in Australia or Claifornia or Greece in summer and cook on the bushfires
- Arai drum brake (used on rear wheel of some tandems to slow them on long descents), dissipate heat into cooking instead of into the air (could do the same with disc brakes I guess)
- Sit on a steak, combining slow heat cooking with bacterial proteolysis (like truckies putting a foil-wrapped steak on the engine block!)
- Replace brake pads with beef jerky
- Enzymatic or chemical cooking of foods eg. fish in lime juice
- Tow a large solar array on a modified BOB trailer. Add a wind turbine for the downhills.
