Solar Cooking with the Sun Oven for specific foods / situations…

Recipes [[Nearly any recipe can be used with only minor adjustments. In general we add 15 - 20% to the time quoted in a recipe. On days of partial / light cloud cooking times will increase. It is not recommended to use the Sun Oven if there is no shadows, although it may still be suitable for drying / low temperature tasks.

Cookware Nearly any cookware can be used (except the highly reflective types like stainless steel). Dark pots with lids give the fastest results, though many others will work fine. Cooking without a lid can increases the time significantly due to condensation.

Dinner ready while away / at work Put your meal in the Sun Oven in the morning, and point towards where the Sun will be when you want the food to start cooking. You can time it so that when you come home, your food is cooked at hot! One of our favourite features, coming home from work or church to a hot meal is amazing!

General Cooking Point the Sun Oven at the Sun to get the highest temperature. If the food is in a covered pot, the glass lid may start to get condensation as the food gets close to being cooked. The condensation will slow the cooking, slightly self regulating the cooking temperature. For lower temperature cooking (ie slow cooking), simply turn the Sun Oven away from the sun little.

Roast Meat / Vegetables Roasts in the Aussie Edition Sun Oven ® are simple and delicious. Prepare as per normal with spices or herbs and salt, then put in a dark pot or casserole dish with a lid. Place the roasting pot in the Sun Oven and point directly at the sun and cook for 20% longer than a conventional oven. You can test the meat once you start to see condensation on the glass lid.

Slow Cooked Meals The temperature of the Sun Oven can be regulated by turning the Sun Oven away from the sun slightly. You can point directly at the sun when you first put the food in for the initial high temperature and then as the sun travels away, the temperature will lower.

Dehydrating / Drying Fruit / Leather / Jerky Use drying racks stacked up to 3 high (available separately) and lay the food in a single layer on each rack. Leave the glass door open & cover the opening with the fly screen food cover (sold separately) or leave the glass lid resting on top of the closing latch.
The temperature can be regulated as per normal and air flow will allow the leather to dry over the course of 6-10 hours depending on the density and thickness of your fruit. Our trials have led to much better results than commercial dryers that take 12 - 16 hours & use a lot of electricity.

Baking Breads / Cakes Pre-heating the oven will give better results when baking breads. As with any oven it is important close the door quickly. A heat stone can help to give even better results.

One of the huge benefits of using the Aussie Edition Sun Oven ® is that you can use it whereever it suits you…

While it lends itself to camping or life on the road, the Aussie Edition Sun Oven ® really shines at home, for meals day in and day out.

And of course, the more you use it, the more you save…

Whether you use it for main meals at lunch time or for dinner, or for drying fruits, canning or bread and cakes in the morning - you are limited only by your imagination.

Not only can the Aussie Edition Sun Oven ® cook wherever you need it, but what you do cook in it, is better for you!

That's right - the food itself is healthier for you as vital nutrition is not lost. This is increasingly more important as the food we buy and eat has less essential minerals and vitamins.

Natural Cooking The Sun Oven does not have harsh or dry heat, so the food is cooked in it's own juices. This leads to the food being more tasty, and also much more tender. Chicken breasts turn out nearly as succulent as thighs. Roast meats are melt in your mouth. Spare ribs are delicious! Vegetables and quiches - well you get the idea…

Health The risk of smoke and cancer causing substances from burnt food or cooked over wood are avoided with the Sun Oven. Any long terms effects of microwave radiation absorption are alleviated as well. The Sun Oven is made in the U.S.A. from the best and safest materials available from around the world…because your health is worth it!

Life Preserving There may be times where the Aussie Edition Sun Oven ® comes to the rescue for more than 'just' good health and taste…

In an emergency, the Aussie Edition Sun Oven ® can be a vital lifeline. It could be your only source of both cooked food and safe water. Whether heating or cooking food or par boiling water to make it safe for drinking, the Aussie Edition Sun Oven ® is an amazing tool.

For over twenty years, we have searched for the very best alternative energy products from around the world. Despite the huge number of innovative items available, nothing we have found comes close to the Sun Oven ®…

Wise Investment With regular use, the Aussie Edition Sun Oven ® can pay for itself in a few short years - quite a unique potential. Compare this to Solar panels which can take over 15 years to recover costs (assuming you have no inverter faults). Solar batteries often will not last long enough to recover even 50% of their cost!

Potential Savings If you use the Sun Oven for one main meal every day, you could be saving over $10,000 over the course of its' life! This goes up dramatically if you use the Sun Oven for multiple meals per day. How much can you save?!

The savings go up even further if you are going to use the Aussie Edition Sun Oven ® for cakes, biscuits, granola, dried fruit, jerky, granola or other foods in between meals.

20 years of free, healthy cooking, anywhere you go, plus emergency preparedness… #priceless. The Aussie Edition Sun Oven ® could be your best investment ever!

Calculations: The potential savings are incredible…[[

Let's assume you could buy an Electric oven that would last 20 years… ◆ Electric Oven Purchase: $1500* ◆ Electricity usage 1 meal per day: ~$7000** ◆ Maintenance for oven: $500 ◆ Total Cost: $9000

*Obviously, many quality ovens are in excess of $3,000 and still do not last 20 years…(and larger ovens use even more power).

^Usage assumes 1-1.5 hours use per day at 40c/KWH. Does not take into account electricity supply charges, oven installation costs or solar rebates. The more you use an electric oven, the more you spend on electricity and the sooner you need a fix (or replacement!).

The energy costs are even higher if you are using lpg (bottled) gas, meaning for many people the potential savings over 20 years is substantial. ]]

The Aussie Edition Sun Oven ® uses no commercial energy no matter how much you use it. That's right - 20 years of cooking - carbon / commercial energy free!

There is nothimg quite like it. You can use it all day, every day the sun is shining with no electricity or gas.

If you work out how much your current energy consumption for cooking is, you will likely be amazed. The amount of pollution, as well as the financial cost, over 20 years in phenomenal.

Every time you use your gas or electric oven, it is consuming non-green forms of energy adding to pollution. Even if you have solar panels on the roof, this only helps during daylught hours. There is also a lot of embedded energy and carbon in the solar panels, inverter, batteries and the oven itself.

The saving in pollution increases exponentially for any wood or charcoal fired meals that solar cooking replaces.

The Australian Sun Oven® is also made from responsible materials, meaning less embodied energy in the device itself.

With the Aussie Edition Sun Oven ®, you can do your bit, while saving money and getting better tasting, healthier food!
