and silver styrene mirror.
3. Peel the protective plastic o
the styrene mirror.
4. Place the cradles together.
Note the slight variance in the
shape of the U-curve in the
center of each cradle. Make
sure these curves are oriented
the same direction when
putting the frame together.
5. Slip the edges of the styrene
sheet,mirrorsideup,intothe
slots along the sides of the
cradles (Figure 3).
6. Slip end caps onto the tabs
at the top and bottom of the
cradles (Figure 4).

8. Carefully turn the mirror
assembly over so that the
shiny side is facing down.
Make sure that the mirror
material is still tting
through all the slots. Apply
glue along the seams at
all four corners and at the
centers of all four sides
(Figure 6).
9. Whentheglueisdry,turn
the mirror assembly over
so the mirror side is up. Slip
the solar angle gauges into
the slots at the side of the
cradle (Figure 7). The gauge
with the larger hole should
be on top. Glue in place
with cool-melt glue.

Slide this assembly through the hole
at the top of the base. Slide a nylon
spacer onto the screw and then slide
the assembly through the center
hole in the mirror assembly. Slide a
nylon washer onto the screw and
secure with a nylock nut (Figure 8).
Use needle-nose pliers to hold the
nylocknutwhiletighteningthescrew,
but take care not to overtighten. The
mirror should move easily yet stay in
various tilted positions.

Cooking with the Banty Roaster
Preparation for Use
Wipe dust and ngerprints from the mirrored surface with a small amount of
glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
What to Cook
Banty Roaster is designed to cook one cocktail sausage wrapped in foil.
Althoughmorethanonewilltinthetube,wedonotrecommendthatyou
try this as steam buildup will cause the additional sausages to be expelled.
Items Needed (not included)
• Cocktailsausages • Woodendowel,3/8"or1/2"diameter
• Aluminumfoil • Ovenmitts
Cooking Instructions*
1. Roll a cocktail sausage in a 3” x 3” piece of foil and twist the ends closed.
2. Slide the foil-wrapped sausage into the cooking tube. Use the wooden
dowel to push the sausage to the center of the tube. Place the cooking
tube on the tube holders and take the Banty Roaster outside.
3. Position the Roaster so it faces the Sun. Adjust the angle of the Roaster so
the sunlight shines through the big hole in the forward solar angle gauge
and is projected onto the smaller hole in the rear gauge. This ensures the
cookerispositionedtooptimizetheSun’sheatenergy.AstheSunmoves,
the angle may need to be adjusted.
Caution: The cooking tube will become very hot during the cooking
process. Do not touch it with bare hands.
4. Aftervetosevenminutes,putontheovenmittsandremovethe
sausage by pushing it out of the tube with the wooden dowel. Unwrap
and enjoy!
* Always use safe food-preparation and food-handling practices.
