Hot weather and stuffy kitchens are enough to turn anyone off their appetite. Unfortunately, conventional ovens can create a lot of heat, quickly making meal prep a miserable experience for everyone. But there is an easy solution to this problem, a low-maintenance, simple to use oven that required almost no effort to use. Best of all, it runs off the solar system’s most plentiful renewable resource- sunshine. Welcome to the wonderful world of cooking with a solar oven.



Giving one of the Big Laurel bunk house’s a much-needed tidying last fall revealed unexpected rewards when Ian and I discovered a Sun Oven under one of the bunk beds. It was in perfect condition, if a little dusty, so we brought it over to our house where I have experimented with it these past few weeks.

There’s been a lot to like. Here are just a few of the benefits of cooking with a solar oven.

– Child friendly: Kids stay safe because solar ovens don’t have exposed flames or a super hot heat source. We can use them during summer camp!
