How to can someone cook in the desert sand?

Cooking in desert sand can be done by using the heat of the sun or direct heat from the sand itself. One method involves digging a shallow pit in the sand, placing food wrapped in foil or in a pot, and covering it with more sand to trap heat. The intense sunlight can effectively cook food over several hours. Alternatively, using a solar oven can concentrate sunlight to achieve cooking temperatures without directly using sand.
