Believe it or not, you can actually bake bread, cook stews, and cook casseroles using the energy of the sun. The rays of sun can be concentrated with one or more reflectors and collected in a black, well insulated box. Many people find it hard to believe, but it really works.

You can achieve temperatures of 300-350 degrees in your oven on a hot sunny day, and around 175-250 degrees with partial sun and clouds. Since food is cooked slowly at relatively low temperature in a solar oven (as with a crock pot), food retains more of its flavor, retain its nutrition, and is quite delicious. Cooking in a solar oven also retains more moisture in the food than in a traditional oven.

When you use one of these ovens, you place the ingredients in the oven in the morning, enjoy your day, and then return to a hot meal that is ready to serve. For days when the sun is not shining, you can go back to your regular stove and use some of the electricity or gas you have saved.

Anything you can cook in a conventional electric or gas oven can be cooked in a GLOBAL SUN OVEN®. You can bake, boil and steam using any of your favorite recipes.What is the cooking temperature range?The GLOBAL SUN OVEN® will reach temperatures of 360 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The oven will generally reach its maximum temperature as it is being preheated. The temperature will drop when food is placed in the chamber. Solar cooking allows many of the natural flavors of food, which get baked out in conventional ovens, to remain. The slow, even rise in temperatures in a GLOBAL SUN OVEN® gives the complex carbohydrates time to break down into simple sugars allowing subtle natural flavors to emerge.
