Lots of folks have expressed interest in the type of solar oven I first bought - an SOS Sport Oven. The design has changed ownership a couple times and now they're starting to ship it again to folks on their waiting list.
You can put orders in now. I'd say this is one of the all 'round best solar designs I've used and I love it.
It can really save you money if you get in the habit of using it regularly (and have the solar exposure to do so).

My solar ovens are on to their next owner, but I still have black Graniteware roaster dishes so I put the TJs frozen papas rellenas in there to see how they do in the remains of the day. #SolarCooking
Do you know #solarCooking ? Like with #gosun? It take sometimes an hour until the food is hot and cooked. I want it finished until I am back without waiting so I set it to sun where it would be shining 3..4 hours later. When I came back it was hot and finished like set with solar timer.
Done! I need to put in fewer or have a different tray so the croissants aren't rising into each other. They're crisp everywhere but where they're touching. #SolarCooking #Food
Hung the laundry on the line and checked the oven. It's now at 300F and the croissants are starting to brown. #SolarCooking #Food
I put out the Global Sun Oven to pre-heat. It's still cool and it only stopped being mostly cloudy an hour ago. The space on my trailer table wasn't sunny enough yet, so I moved it out into the common space area.
The oven reached 250 F/121 C in the time I did that.
I put out TJs frozen choc croissants to rise last night and popped them in there just now. #SolarCooking #Food
Oven only reached 200F before I just wanted to have breakfast. Definitely an improvement over having them cold, though. #SolarCooking
Set up the Global Sun Oven to reheat some packaged ham & swiss croissants I got from Costco. #SolarCooking #Breakfast
Enfin, aujourd'hui, test du couvercle avec enduit noir maison, pour première mini pizza avec pâton de 200g. 1h, un peu trop mais c'est bon ! #CuisineSolaire #SolarCooking #SUNplicity #Perpignan #FourSolaire
@toddmedema Cooking _during_ meetings ;-) At least, if those are simple status updates.
Within the topic of (communal) gardening (cc @Miri123 @robconnolly) or cooking, what techniques would you consider most _drastically modern_ while not veering into harmful like #industrialAg or #fastfood?
#Hydroponics, maybe? Solar pumping (https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=site%3Agardena.com+%2213300-20%22), #SolarCooking also fits the bill for me, because our ancestors didn't have glass, mirrors & electronics.
Today I used my solar oven(s) for the first time this year, beating my previous record by about 2 weeks! Air temp outside ranged from 25F to 42F (-3C-5C). Inside the oven the temp reached 180F (82C)
My box oven was joined by a folding panel cooker, design is called the Copenhagen Cooker, it's very effective and easy to make, but more vulnerable to wind. #Solar #SolarCooking #LowTech #SolarOven
Next #SolarCooking experiment: bread — small loaves or rolls, you pick what to call them. They came out soft, but I wouldn’t blink at getting something like this as an appetizer at a fancy restaurant. I do have to grease the pans though, and next time bake another 20-30 minutes; I ran out of sun today. Learning!
Second #SolarCooking experiment. Wow! Came out just about perfect — a little bit dry. Either add a tiny bit more water, or cook 5-10 minutes less; this was an hour.
First impression: Gosun Fusion solar cooker. It looks pretty solid. The tube is supposed to be double-walled, with vacuum: a thermos, basically. That should enable it to get pretty warm inside… we’ll see! Today was a very dark and rainy day, but tomorrow is supposed to be sunny. Hopefully I’ll be cookin’ without gas!

At the farm I visited the other day, I received a couple soft breadfruit (they had an abundance of breadfruit on their trees and had extra). I used one to make savory fritters, and yesterday I used another to make sunbread!
I mixed the soft breadfruit with a lot of flour, some salt, pepper, little bit of oil, little bit of nutritional yeast, and some oats (for texture and variety). After making a dough that was floury enough to not stick to my hands, I rolled the whole thing in oil and put it in the gosun sport solar cooker. There was no yeast, so it didn't rise, but it was still good.
I was very happy with the results! Dense, moist, and very tasty. It has a bit of the sweetness of the soft breadfruit. Will make again!

This past Saturday at an energy summit for the City of Kalamazoo, here in Michigan, experts on the cutting edge who travel the world to keep up with the latest tech were stunned to see a solar oven boiling water in our winter. I shared a video of cooking for the household in our climate years ago with my homemade cardboard, aluminum tape and glass. While it was an amazing group at the forefront of climate change
I'm hoping the clip will expand their idea of what is possible on a simpler level as well.
