Our Solar Oven

We just added a solar oven to the list of cookware in our house a week ago. We got it from Global Sun Solar Oven's through ebay for $230. Here are some pictures:


It takes up the same space as a BBQ grill, and needs to be rotated with the sun in order to do it's job. Auburn loves the shiny foil. It's easy to move (lightweight as well), and easy to set up. So far here are the things we've cooked in it:

blackberry crisp dessert
vegetables (on a half cloudy day)
pork roast
eggplant/onion kabobs

My regular 9x13 glass pan doesn't fit inside, but one that is dark with straight sides will. We hear that it will cook anything, but won't ever burn it. I'm not sure I believe it.

Greg has a phobia of the food cooked inside the oven. He swears that it has "a taste" that is gross. Silly Greg.
