The highlights:
-it baked 2.5 hours (more than twice as long as the recipe requests.)
-it did brown, but I used an egg white wash
-the crust was not crispy and flakey, despite me having the feeling that it would be a good one while making it... It was more like the pre-formed store-bought stuff. (which is so not worth the calories...)
-some of the crust literally slid off from slow cooking- the crisco melted before it could bake properly
-the inside didn't set up very well
-tasted ok
-glass got really fogged up
-the strawberry drippings in the bottom cleaned up really easily!
I guess you really need the oven to be hot, hot for excellent pie, and 350 wasn't hot enough. Guess we won't be having pie in an emergency... darn.

Aw how sad. I'm glad you are sharing your sun oven fun or not fun. :)
I just got mine today so I will be putting it out to clean it with vinegar before using and then try some things.
