What solar cooker do you use and how do you like it? Did you buy it or make it? My husband and I have made a few over the years but nothing has been entirely satisfactory.
Thank you for posting this, I've been wondering about the best ready made or DIY Solar Cookers, also.
A friend has the Solar Oven, which she uses year round. She thinks it was wellworth the money. (about $300)
This organization has a program for helping villages to put the ovens together and sell them in their area.
Solar Ovens International also makes a huge VILLAGE sized solar oven on wheeled trailer which can be used to cook for many folks. They have videos on their website.
Hi Robert, thank you for sharing about this cooker. It looks remarkably easy to use.
Do you have favorite foods/dishes you prepare in this? What kind of cooking pot do you use on your adventures?
Thanks.
Max

You can cook just about anything in a solar oven that you can cook in a slow cooker.
Approximately twice as long as a regular recipe We kayak a lot in wilderness areas and can leave a solar cooker and kayak, coming back to the campsite and have hot food.
This seems very promising. One of these, and a good collection of cast iron, and you should be able to cook just about anything.
Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

We have been using the Sun Oven for over a week now to make meals every day. LOVE it.
Made blueberry cobbler today. The other day was pork loin.
We avoid heating up the kitchen and save on electricity as well.
Highly recommend to have, plus you don't have to worry about having extra wood or fuel around as with other cooking methods.
