IMPRESSIVE

[@MichellesCraftsandMore]

Awesome job! I want one of these so bad, but at the same time, I rarely cook because it is just me with hubby on the road. Not sure it would pay for itself for years. LOL

[@GoingGoneGalt]

Solar ovens rock. The technology is so simple, why we haven't been using these for the past hundred years is beyond me. I haven't tried steak yet... thanks for the beta test for us, JNull!

[@deenaj44]

awesome

[@JeremyHopper007]

I had to eat my lunch early after watching this video! Your home cooking always gets my appetite going. Great job!

[@bettystone8128]

enjoyed this john, you should have throwed some potatoes in there.

[@SouthpawDavey]

Impressive demo man j

[@patriciahaddix5748]

i just got a sun oven and this is a new journey when it gets here. hope you have lots of videos to learn from.

[@LindasPantry]

Thank you so mu John now I have to try this in mine. Thumbs up!!!!

[@ataylorai1]

I am going to try to cook hamburgers in my for dinner. Thanks for the idea, I have used it for baking and slow cooking but not grilling so now I will give that a try.

[@SilentWolf2008]

I'm thinking of building myself one here. Living in a house with no AC is no fun at all. Going to do the reflectors with plastic cut to fit mirrors like you get at a Auto Parts Store for your side mirrors if they get busted. I really don't have the steady hand to glue mylar to wood i would end up with what would look like a giant shiny raisin full of wrinkles lol. I get the stuff and do it ill share the video with you brother.

[@ACheshireCat2001]

You have a good group of commenters here.

[@buckeyeimaging]

I am so hungry...

[@onthebalconywithkat1517]

Talk about a perfect looking steak! Awesome!

[@nikhilsukumar23]

Thank you for easy and simple to understand instructions. Review is great. ☺

[@movinon04]

Solar Steak baby- heck yea......love ya

[@buzzsah]

OK, boys and girls, it's time, It's time for Sun & Solar, Cooking with John.

[@guitarstorms]

Oh brother you got me hungry now...

[@OldProudVeteran]

so i guess that would be a sunkissed steak? That is great, so much nature provides. People seam to forget that so much was just from nature back in the old days. no prepacked meats, cheeses, etc. and they lived longer. I deff. will have to lok into a sun oven once we get our place. Stay safe, prepare, God Bless

[@ColleenM61]

Oh! I have to get one of these!!!

[@ACheshireCat2001]

Enjoyed your videos on solar cooking, started watching with the painting an old cooler . That was an interesting concept test, was wondering if the plastic of the cooler ever got hot enough to deform the plastic on the inside of it. I started my exploration of hands on solar cooking with a funnel cooker setup. I put up a video on my version of a Pringles can/Starbucks coffee jar hot dog cooker.... in my video I included a link to my Solar Cooking project Pinterest page that I uses to post my experimental results. Just starting to add videos there from my KZbin channel.I have broken the solar cooker 'parts' list down into 3 basic parts... light collection, light conversion to heat, and retention of heat. I live in an area that tends to cloudy, but when the sun is out, using it would be nice. The very cutting edge portable solar cookers can cost the same as a real stove, and I might be tempted, but figuring out the how to build it yourself has an attraction and the information that you have posted has been useful.

[@ACheshireCat2001]

You might find some ideas from what I post that might serve as starting points for more videos of your own.

[@WillowsGarden]

Looks great John, yum!

[@shawhit3462]

Wow, thanks John. Steak on the grill in the sun oven, who would have thought.??!!??

[@Lumberman2011]

nice lil set up John.... always tastes better cooking with free energy! Nice job!

[@bebebutterfield1]

It's a very healthy way to cook. Don't need a ton of oil or fat and no carcinogens from coal cooking or smoking.

[@richarddowner4292]

nor grilling or cooking.... IT'S SUN GRILLING AND COOKING heehee.....hell it's free cooking and grilling paid for food/or self raised and butchered FOOD... = even better.... I love fresh eggs.. my chickens are only 15 weeks old but in a few weeks I should get 10-12 eggs a day.. YUMMY YUMMY IN ME TUMMY :-) thanks jnull0 great video and so true.. Thumbs up and sharing I love it....

[@ladyb003]

I'm sure when I get one, I will use it all the time...lol. Thanks for making me hungry. Take care J.

[@eveny119]

Hey, what happened to the cooler? Lol I just watched the 2012 experiment...I was wondering if you tried to make another?Just a note, these are best to do long slow cooking and if completely covered in a dark pot will heat up hotter. Ive seen bread cooked in these, hardboiled eggs (without water) and I bet they would be great for jerky with the top propped open.

[@Sergejoncas]

nice i have to try this

[@jtc1947]

Hi JOHN, I watched one of Your vids where You were TRYING to come up with a BIGGER OVEN?How many in the Family besides You and Wife? ANY-WHO? Were You able to build a BIGGER OVEN capable of handling more than just 2 people?ROCK ON!

[@MarkKratzMC]

I love your posts. Tips: Trying using cloth rags (old t-shirt etc) for seasoning the grill, so you don't leave small balls of paper towel which get torn off. Also let your steak temper, sit out for at least 40 minutes prior to cooking to let it get up to room temp for quicker more even cooking. You've inspired me to get myself a Solar Oven.

[@horsemomof5]

Awesome !!!! I'm starving now lol it's 4:32 here lol time to start dinner 😁👍👍

[@terrahawk2003]

I've heard that the food just taste better what do you think?

[@aaronm97oh10]

that hood helps a lot huh?

[@michaelmoore3360]

Where did you buy your cast iron grill?

[@geargriden19]

Don't worry i commented first, now watch the video.

[@AdlinLing]

I've been wanting to try this but haven't got the time to build an oven yet. I've cooked a steak with a fresnel lens. And bacon. Works quite well.

[@628DirtRooster]

I'm surprised at how fast that cooked.

[@thepurenuke7356]

jnull0, how hot was it that day?

[@eschiguateco]

salt and pepper?

[@richarddowner4292]

Not Sold But SUNNED hehee. you can't beat that... free heat to cook = free :-) still love the hat.. I miss mine, I lost it... gotta get me a new one. it will not feel the same as me old one.. i gotta break it in..

[@vicarous5084]

i would love to buy one but they seem a bit expensive for what they are... like charging a hundred dollars for a hammer. im sure they pay for themselves... but still rather simple design, no special materials... expensive. perhaps at a later date...

[@Gayle.M]

It seems simple enough, can't you make your own?

[@edithturner9242]

There are videos showing how to build them

[@RhondaRichter-1234]

My oven broke down so I'm trying to make one with a large cooler. I cant afford to buy one...

[@marilyngrass2533]

How about using a old grill???

[@Luke-kf5qv]

anyone PLZ give me tips of what food should i cook for about 5-10mins for demonstration cooking for the judges in me and my team for the solar cooking competition in my school.Btw thx :D

[@Luke-kf5qv]

plz

[@Luke-kf5qv]

I was thinking meat? is that a good idea?

[@Luke-kf5qv]

+jnull0 thank appreciate it :D

[@geargriden19]

Steak needed to cook about 10 more minutes :D lol

[@temhotabot]

I believe if you oil the pan before you put it in the oven it will help it heat up faster. Atleast that logic works when you lube up at the beach :P Damn, now I want me a steak. How did your homemade solar oven compare to this one you use now?

[@Keepingittocool]

Hi Brother. I looked this cooker up before when you talked about it.To rich for my wallet. So with that said if you ever upgrade to another one can I have this one?

[@themightyparthos]

I'm not horribly impressed with the sun fried steak via the oven. Maybe if you used a fresnel lens on the cast you could get that real "seared" sizzle on the steaks. I would also imagine something like swiss steak and potatoes would cook just awesome in the solar oven. Look into a fresnel, not horribly expensive and very fun!

[@ACheshireCat2001]

If you want cutting edge solar cooker look at the GoSun grill that comes out fall 2016 , pricey as a real house oven, but for an solar cooker that will get to 500-600°F in about the same time as an indoor oven... that is impressive... it is interesting what one can do with a bit less cost.

[@VertikalDesign]

hippy.
