I purchased the solar oven after I saw one used on a school garden tour. I was still a little skeptical, but have been pleasantly surprised by how well this oven cooks! I'm in northern California, it's October, and I'm still baking bread, cookies, muffins, I've roasted a chicken, a big ol' butternut squash, pizza, basically anything I'd do in my oven. We had a heat wave in September, and it was so nice to be able to prepare dinner without having to heat up the house! The oven is well constructed, easy to move around, but does get hot. You need oven mitts to remove anything from it, as even opening the door will burn your fingers without some protection. Some days I have it outside, it's sitting there at 350 degrees, and I feel guilty not cooking something! Would be easy to transport to a park, the beach, and if and when THE BIG ONE comes (earthquake), if we lose power for a while, I'll be cooking for the neighborhood.
The oven space isn't as large as a normal oven, so sometimes you have to cook things in batches. But who cares? I plan on using it at my son's school to teach the children about cooking in the garden...I think every home should have one!Get more detail about Global Sun Oven (R).
