Questions & Answers for Hot Pot Simple Solar Cooker

Question
Does the pot have a lid?
In the picture it looks open. I can imagine setting this out in my yard to let the sun cook my beans all day, and finding a million bugs in it before they're done.

The HotPot does include a covered glass bowl. In the photo the lid is resting on the left side of the bowl. During the cooking process the lid must be kept on the bowl.

A black metal bowl fits inside the glass bowl. There is half an inch of air space between the metal bowl and the glass bowl that creates and maintains cooking temperatures.
