Are you coming here from Instagram? Here is some of my Solar Oven (Sun Oven) information!

Originally posted in June, 2015 - it's still relevant so here it is again in 2019!

If  you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you will probably notice I cook and bake  in  my solar oven very frequently.  Although I use it year round, I use  it  probably three times a week from May through September.  It's used for  everything from roasted chicken, roasts, pork roast, bbq pork and French  Dips, to breads, muffins, pies, cakes and cookies.

I  love being able to cook and bake without heating up the house or  using  electricity when I know the grid is getting heavy use from all the   homes A/C's and other appliances running during the hot summer.

I am going to start off with the oven I own.  I bought this one a few years ago when they were still calling themselves "Global Sun Oven" - later changed to All American.    My version was literally just as they were coming out with the new  style; but I got a good deal on mine as it was the 'older' style.  What  does that mean?  It means they improved a couple tiny, teeny things like  the stand is now a "T" shape instead of just a post and they are now  bright blue as compared to black.  They also made the inside a bit  larger so you can use a 9X13" pan and a couple other small improvements  (read about them below in the product description).


Here is the one I own -  complete with the accessory package.  It's about 24 pounds so you can't  'carry' it with you hiking or backpacking - but if you are tent camping  and arriving in a vehicle, you can indeed take it with you.
