One of the coolest appliances for cooking this summer is the Global Sun Oven. Turn off your stove and have some fun in the backyard, at the beach, while you are camping or boating. The Sun Oven is also a terrific solution when you’re without power due to one of Florida’s hurricanes or any other natural disaster. No need for fuel or electricity to be able to bake, boil or steam your food.
You’ll need two things to make this oven work – the sun and your imagination. While you’re working in the yard you can be preparing a meal. One of the keys to getting the most out your Sun Oven is to monitor the angle of the sun and occasionally reposition or refocus your oven to follow its movement.
It isn’t heavy, weighing in at 21 pounds, but to make it easier to use, put it on a rolling cart which can be easily turned to the right position. A cart will also get the oven up off the ground for easier access. There is a built in leveling leg on the back of the oven for more accurate focusing. There is also a “levelator” which keeps your dish level even when you raise the angle of the oven. It is the surface on which you place your cooking dish and it works like a swing.
The construction of the oven is top notch. The reflectors are made of mirror-finished anodized aluminum. They won’t rust, corrode or oxidize. The inner chamber is aluminum with a non-toxic powder coating. The body is insulated with a heavy batting of non-toxic fiberglass insulation. This is the same insulation used in commercial ovens and furnaces.
The Plexiglas cover seals air-tight with a patented gasket that resists UV damage. Properly cared for this oven will last a lifetime.
Remember it’s an oven. It gets hot. Use pot holders and trivets when handling the dishes you are taking out of the oven. But don’t worry about burning your food because the Sun Oven doesn’t have any hot spots. The temperature of your food rises evenly. It’s a bit like your old crock pot because it heats evenly and doesn’t require stirring.
While you’re cooking in the Sun Oven you’re saving energy and keeping your kitchen cool and reducing your carbon footprint.
Let the sun shine in.
