This is an old article.
The Sport Solar oven also has reflector panels. At least, now they do.
I would imagine there would be a lot of happier people in this electric outage on the east coast if they could put their food in the solar cooker, let it go all day not worrying because it won’t burn, and dinner be ready when they are, if they had prepared ahead of time and bought themselves or made themselves a solar oven or solar cooker.
Especially in the heat wave while no air conditioning available.
Store shelves in my area are bare of propane, batteries etc.
Glad I’m not waiting in line for gasoline or out searching for propane and batteries or a way to cook the food rotting in my fridge from having no electricity and backup plan...
Love my Sport Solar oven and my homemade solar cooker (turkey bag, aluminum foil pan, black pot.) I don’t just use them for emergencies. I use them because it helps keep the house cool in this heat wave. And it takes such little effort to use them.
Thanks for your reasoned response. So far the Sport Solar Oven looks like a good choice to me, also. What I can’t seem to determine is what the temperature range it is capable with the reflectors. Seller specs just give a range cooking without them.
To everyone that made a snarky environmental remark:
I’ve been without power for a week because of hurricanes. And for several days a number of times. It isn’t funny. I don’t think the people around DC are yucking it up right now.
I couldn’t care less about all the greenie reasons the EnviroTards give for using a solar oven, I’m prepping. This is entirely a matter of self interest and self preservation. I’ve also got a Volcano stove, lots of charcoal, the optional propane attachment and 3 tanks of propane. Which will go a lot further if I have an alternative on sunny days.
Go ahead and cook your dinner on the hood of your car. You probably won’t need a gun to protect it anyway (grin). I imagine that after several weeks of no power you won’t be laughing so hard at mealtime.
