We were interested to see if we could make a solar powered oven, and we fascinated to discover that it could be simply made from 2 cardboard boxes, black paper, glass pane and tin foil. Dave took about an hour to put it together, and IT WORKS REALLY WELL !!
The thermometer in the bottom had to be removed after a short time, as the temperature exceeded the 100C that the thermometer is limited to.
Sweet potatoes……4 hours at Reg. “SUN HOT” they were perfectly cooked, soft and very tasty !
Dave from product design !
Vegetable casserole , better as the glass didn’t steam up and need to be turned.
Bread and butter pudding……..now its getting interesting !!

That's so nice and eco-friendly
And what's the top lid for? (not the glass one)
The lid acts as an additional reflector, you rotate the oven to face the sun, then adjust the angle of the lid to reflect more sun into the box, you do have to repeat this several times during the day as the sun moves.
