I have seen a lot of posts about how to cook if the SHTF. I have the Global Sun Oven (solar) and it is terrific. You can cook anything!!! including boiling eggs with no water. However you can also dehydrate in it. Depending on the strength of the sun, you can also boil water. Most days it stays...

I was a complete failure at making my own solar oven (wouldn't go over 200 degrees) and am now looking to buy one. I've been looking at a Sylvan on Ebay and wondered it anyone has bought it and is it as good as they say??? They claim it will reach 360-400 degrees which I find alittle hard to...

I'm curious to know how many here own and regularly use a solar oven. IMHO, solar is great for not only supplying power but also for cooking. No need for fossil fuel to cook and sanitize water. The Solar Oven: A Great Appliance for Camping and Prepping

Tested out my new Sun Oven today. Absolutely love it. I have built solar ovens for years out of cardboard and aluminum foil. I have taught countless sixth graders how to make their own sun ovens as well. But on my wish list this year was the Sun Oven which is a commercial product. It costs...

I've learned from here that I can buy campfire pots and pans and skillets to cook on the grill or open fire. But what do you recommend we buy for baking, assuming we'll not have power? Thanks, Kathy EMP

Just saw this video on http://shtf411.com/ . It is a great project for someone who has a general understanding of TV componants. I will have to send this to my son.

Does anyone have any advice about Solar Ovens? I've been researching the SOS solar sport oven,(Solar Oven Society.. Who would of thought they had a society) Does anyone use an solar oven, and if so, let me know how well you like them. Thanks R

So has anyone built/have one? What are its limitations in cooking? Can it not cook some items? How long do some dishes take to finish? I just saw the National Geographic documentary/show called Doomsday Preppers online and one family had this and I never heard of it before. Thx for any...

Looking for recipes for my solar oven. Today I made plain ol' noodles.... boring!:xeye:

I was wondering how everyone was planning on baking bread in the absence of propane/natural gas and electricity. I was thinking of making a metal tray to attach beneath my gas grill to heat it from the outside sort of serving as an oven or just over a fire on a bread stone. Also is flat bread...

I have a wood burning stove(Harman TL-300, which was a great purchase btw!!!) in the house that I use throughout the winter to keep our heating bills down. It has a cooking grill attachment and I'm sure I can boil water on top for cooking as well. This should be fine for winter cooking, but...

Hey all. A few weeks ago my hubby built a solar oven.... wooden box, glass lid, alum foil, car window reflective screen, black paper. He def has to fine tune things... ie... tempered glass is needed and a better way to secure the glass to the top..(today he used wire coat hangers) but they...

Hey everyone. I tried to buy a book on amazon called Cooking with Sunshine and expected delivery date was between Dec. 29- April. LOL Really? Thats too long. So does anyone know of a book for solar cooking? Maybe something with a little info about it too. I made an oven and used it once but had...

I need some ideas on what to use for reflectors on a solar oven I want to build. I thought about aluminum foil but that won't stay shiny for too long in the weather.

dose ant one have plans for a solar oven please help me out thank you :o:

Does anybody have one and like it out there? http://www.sunoven.com/ It sounds like a pretty good bet for cooking, especially stealth cooking with no smoke. I appreciate any input, thanks.

You can make any kind of solar cooker/oven. Here are hundreds, with instructions on how to build: http://solarcooking.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Solar_cooker_designs Photos on the bottom of the page for many. Here is another site that discusses different designs...

I have a hard time believing that we all have sufficient wood (or any other fuel) stored to supply our cooking needs day in and day out, post SHTF. How many here have solar ovens? I have been looking at these as a viable means of cooking. You may not get a hot breakfast, but you will get a...
