I'm a poor lady who can't afford an oven. I have pots here, charcoal, and aluminum foil. What could be tricks to use charcoal as an alternative for me to bake? I really want to try bake cookies.

Best Answer

You can do anything with charcoal.

One trick that we used to do when we were camping was to line a cardboard box with foil. Several metal grates or skewers would be stabbed into the box walls and a grate with a few coals hung near the bottom.

We would use it to bake bread and pizzas. To control the temperature use more or fewer coals.

As long as you are building things- another option to consider is solar oven.
They consist of an insulated container, a transparent window, and a reflector. There are a great many models to choose from. Some of the more permanent models can get above 350F as long as there is direct sunlight.

This model was just one of top results from Google but it is a typical design:

How do I mimic my oven with a pan?

What you'll need is a BIG piece of cookware. A super-sized pot, with a tight-fitting lid, large enough to fit smaller pieces of cookware inside. Stick one of these on the cooktop and place your baking tin inside. The heat from your cooktop will warm up the air inside the pot, baking the contents.
