Well yesterday we posted an interesting article on baking without an oven. The article focused on the old school "Dutch Oven". Very nice, I have fond memories of the Dutch Ovens when I was a kid in scouting and we spent a lot of time out on camping trips. Well today we are going to talk about a different type of cooking without an "oven". I personally have these and I found it fascinating and it does in fact work and better than I expected. It is a solar oven. Yes, it works great in the winter too! Just need sunshine.
You can find one here:
All American Sun Oven
Here is the link to the article where they are showing off their solar oven. I will have to do a video on using ours and show you what it can do. All you need is some sunshine and a little time. These ovens easily reach 250-300 degrees and slow roast meats, soups, bake breads, and just about anything a creative mind can come up with. I am going to see if I can regulate the temps well enough to try dehydrating in one this year and see how that works for me. Lots of things to try with this. I hope you like the article. These really are fun and can be quite useful. No fuel needed. No smoke, no fire needed, hardly any mess to cleanup... Well except when I am around! LOL
This may be something you will want to add to your tools that you use on your homestead!
Solar Cooking in a Sun Oven
We will hopefully get some time to show you how ours works in a video. I think for the money they are a little spendy. I think a resourceful person handy with some tools could make something like this for a fraction of this cost. It most certainly would be a worth while project for those that don't want to plunk down this kind of money. These things have gone up quite a bit in cost since we bought ours. So once again... Repeat after me... There is no inflation.... There is NO Inflation... :-D
Take care, and God Bless,
