These are by far the best solar ovens on the market. The quality is superior. The ease of use amazing, and the performance renewed my faith in cooking with the power of the sun.
I was way to excited to let a day pass with out using my new oven. I would have used it yesterday, but it was overcast and rainy, and since you need the sun to cook in a solar oven I was forced to hold my excitement for today.
I made butterscotch oatmeal cookies. (My favorite by the way). I used the recipe that comes off the back of the butterscotch morsels I believe they call them Oatmeal Scotchies. I did make a pan cookie to take full advantage of pan's capacity. I set the oven up to preheat and it was ready in about 20 minutes. Cook time for the pan cookie is 18-20 min. It took mine about 25-30 minutes. Not bad!
I will recommend following the instructions that come with the Sun Oven on focusing your oven towards the sun. Their instructions are simple and easy to follow. Adjust side to side and check for shadows inside on the front and back of the interior of the oven. If there are any, the extend-able pole in the back makes this simple it adjust.
It may sound like a lot, but it took my maybe five minutes to set it up in proper cooking position.
Great experience and would love for you all to have a similar one. We do have some ovens on hand, so if you or someone you know is interested let me know. My email address is rebecca@modernfrontierlife.com
I will be doing a side by side comparison between the two most popular ovens out there soon, so check back to see the results.
have you done your comparison yet? I'm planning on getting a SunOven soon and would love to hear more about how you've used it over the last few months. Did you find things cook faster during the summer months? Do you have kids and if so where there any concerns with kids? I don't mean letting kids use the oven but are there concerns like don't let the kids outside while cooking with the SunOven.
