Now We’re Cooking With… the Sun

The solar oven I bought last fall is quickly turning into one of the best purchases I have ever made. While others curse the brutal summer sun, I am embracing it as the cleanest source of energy around. Last week, I cooked a pan full of chicken and potatoes and I never had to use a drop of natural gas or electricity to do it. All I did was put the pan in my solar oven, close the door, and situate it so it was facing the sun, and a couple hours later dinner was done. These things are becoming increasingly popular in places like Africa where fuel for cooking can be scarce, but I don’t see why they shouldn’t take off here as well. Using one is easy, efficient, and just plain smart. Mine is made by Sun Oven, and I only have good things to say about it.
