3 Year Review - SunTaste Solar Oven Still Going Strong!!

This sun-oven design is still just as good as the day I got it. After so many questions and comments on the unboxing and first cook video for this solar oven, I decided to do this three-year update on the SunTaste oven to answer some of the questions and give a follow-up review. I have been using this same oven as part of my solar cooking kitchen every season for three years and it's just worked perfectly. All I need is a sunny day and a reason to be outside and I can fix meals with zero power usage from the house. I've used several types of solar ovens, from Fresnel lenses to parabolic dish cookers, vacuum tubes, and box cookers, but this one has become my go-to choice because its easy and efficient, and consistent in cooking results. This style of box cooker is unique in that is it made from cork, which is super light but an excellent insulator, steam and moisture-proof. For camping and traveling, it has become my favorite design.

I‘ve mine since 3 months and i love it! Your first review was the reason i bought it 😁

[@AlanHowellphotovideo]

That's so awesome! I really love mine as well. It's been so much fun to use and out of all the ovens and cookers I have, this is the best design overall. Pretty hard to beat free energy cooking :-) Thanks for watching!

@@AlanHowellphotovideo Beside the Suntaste i have also an parabolic cooker with 1.4m in diameter. I use both as much as i can. For sure this type of cooking attracts neigbours and random people wondering what the hell i‘m doing in the garden 😎

@@wowbagger1975 Yes! Every time I set it up in the campground here too. I have a couple of parabolic dishes as well. I call them my solar death ray lol.

[@wowbagger1975]

@@AlanHowellphotovideo they’re death rays for sure! at the moment my chicken soup for dinner is coming to a rolling boil on my parabolic cooker. And one of the best aspects of cooking outdoors: all the neigbours are getting hungry :)

Same here, had mine for a whole year now, got it after checking out Alan Howell's first video. I use my compact on the balcony, mainly for rice in one pot, vegetables such as zucchini or leek with a little water and oil in another, hard-boiled eggs or jacket potatoes. Mine doesn't get hot enough for bread, as I'd initially hoped. But it is extremely convenient and easy in maintenance. I use it almost daily whenever it is sunny. The lidded pot also comes in handy to heat up water for washing the dishes.

I made a similar one. Styrofoam container, bubble wrap on the inside, then cardboard for the innermost side covered with tinfoil. Single mirror on top (tinfoil), glass cover, similar to this. Today I reached 266F. Very satisfied.

this is way better if you live around a desert area that has a lot of sun and it probably cooks better

[@sebastianhahn4929]

So amazing! How can I get one? :) And how much is it?

[@AlanHowellphotovideo]

This is where I got mine but I'm not sure what they are priced at now. SunOk website - www.sunok.eu/home/products/sun... I love mine though. It's a lot of fun and works great.

[@Gwynnitro]

Is this cooker available in the US? I only see the EU address. Thank you for your review on this. I really would like to support this type of cooking.

[@AlanHowellphotovideo]

Yes, I'm based in the US and they shipped mine directly to me. Solar cooking can make a huge difference in reducing our carbon footprint...and it's just fun! :-)

[@GirishJois]

Nuclear powered: absolutely right 👍👍👍

[@lilasossa5515]

How much is the sun oven and where was it Made Europe, USA

[@AlanHowellphotovideo]

I think they are made in Spain. Not sure how much they are now. Here is the SunOk website where they have a contact email - www.sunok.eu/home/products/sun... The oven model in the video is the SunTaste 'large' version.
