Solar Stove Portable Stove Solar Oven - Solar Cooker for Outdoor Cooking with 5L Large Capacity with Theometer, and Easy-to-Use Design for Camping Hiking and Family Party

I have a handful of this type of solar oven-mostly smaller units like the Gosun Sport and had good luck with them. They were all too small to cook more than one thing at a time, so I started looking for larger ones. I bought this stove first for a friend and was envious of it and quickly bought one for me-it proved to be a game changer-I can brown enough meat for a 3 person dinner (6 chicken drumsticks, or 3 pans with pork loin in an hour and a half in full sun. Even on cloudy days it will fully cook the same meat in 2 hours without browning it. Baking cakes is no problem, potatos, boiling water, etc. Everything seems to take about an hour to an hour and a half in full sun-there is a learning curve but bottom line is that these thing aren’t a joke.And I liked this particular solar oven that I bought a THIRD one so I could make sides along with the meat for my wife and I at our cabin. Pro-Tip: Get an inexpensive temperature probe-it’s a game changer: No more guessing if it’s done or not. They are soo cheap now that there is no reason not to have one and most work with an app so you don’t have to babysit your meal.

The oven uses black straps to hold the reflector in place when it is in the cooking position, which is unfortunate because if you think about it from a solar perspective, the black color absorbs all of the heat therefore, I started to get spots just after a few days of use where it burned holes through the strap and ultimately wound up returning it. I would consider keeping it and repairing it, but for the money that it cost, I want a product that I don’t have to worry about failing when I paid this much

I bought this for emergency preparedness. I live in Western Oregon, and it is partly cloudy a lot. Because of the vacuum tube, this works when other solar cookers don't. I have had this two days. The first day, under partly cloudy skies, it got up to 240 degrees and cooked white rice in 1 1/2 hours. Today, I tried cooking whole-grain einkorn that I would normally cook on the stovetop for 1 to 1/12 hours. I put it in the solar oven while cursing the partly-cloudy sky that made shadows intermittent. Because of the sky condition, the oven only got up to 220 degrees. I didn't check the einkorn for five hours. Big mistake - it was way over-cooked and mushy by the time I finally opened it! Very impressive. I can't wait to try it with beans; this time with a shorter cooking window.I love this cooker; I'm hoping that someone will make sturdier cooking pans for it.

This oven works very well. I use it every day for making steamed rice or baked potatoes. I bought some small baking pans and some small oven roasting bags and make barbecue chicken or pork loin. You can even cook frozen pizza if you cut it into long pieces like French bread. You can bake also and it's very tough also.

Works exactly how you'd expect a solar stove to operate. It needs to be sunny, but it doesn't need to be warm. Relatively large internal area for camping or off-grid cooking. Unlike a camping stove or fire, no supervision needed - just put in your food, go for a hike, and come back to a cooked/warmed meal. Very little effort needed.Good construction and sufficiently lightweight in its carrying case. Should last a good long while.The hard-boiled (baked?) eggs in particular taste especially good! The baking seems to permeate a pleasant yolky sulphury taste and texture to the whole egg - sounds a bit weird, but tastes great, give it a try.

Me agradó recibir el producto antes de la fecha, el único inconveniente es que me llegó sin las piezas que sostiene el reflector solar.

This solar oven is light and portable, and it includes empty trays inside. It is great for picnics outside on the weekend. Preheat the oven for several minutes, then bring tilapia fillet and sweet potato into 2 trays and close the lid. In one hour, the temperature gauge on the lid indicates the temperature increase to 250 Fahrenheit. Smell the aroma of grilled fish. Half an hour later, I open the lid. Both fish and sweet potatoes are well cooked and delicious, especially for sweet potatoes. Yum.

It works as adverised. However It did not come with a cookbook as advertised. I couldn't find the manufacturer to order additional food tubs that hold the food in the heat tube either. Seems to be an identical knockoff selling for less.
