Solar Cooking is the most energy-efficient way of cooking food. A solar oven will bake, boil or steam any kind of food without the need for fuel – only the power of the sun is used. And while solar cookers work best in regions where sun exposure is highest, they are still very useful in all parts of the country, especially during summer months. Solar ovens reach temperatures of 350 – 400 degrees, and can cook anything that you would cook in a conventional oven.

Solar ovens are known for saving energy, but they also make great tasting meals since the flavors are sealed within the cooking chamber. Some people use solar ovens outdoors in summer to keep their kitchens from heating up during food preparation. And fire safety is another feature – since there is no fuel or flame, there is no danger of fire when using solar ovens.
