Here is a great way to cook in the outdoors without using a fire, electric or gas, just the power of the sun! It is inexpensive, and easy to make and maintain. Once again the Stanley Two Cup Cookset proves itself to be one of the most versatile cooksets that I know about. Check it out and leave me a comment in the section below, thank you so much for watching!

I purchased a Sun Oven, very highly rated, and expensive. I love it. I have made many meals in it especially in the summer here in the deep south when you don't want to heat the house. I have made many soup and casserole dishes. I made banana bread and pumpkin pudding. I loved making my dogs their dog food since I never feed them store-bought. If done carefully you can cook 2 meals at the same time, I will even make sweet and red potatoes. They went very high in price, now being $4.99 I paid $3.99, and worth every penny. It is a totally different experience from campfire cooking. Mine can heat up to about 375 degrees which is good enough for anything. I am watching all your videos I haven't seen yet. Thanks

I've used this kind of reflective sun-screen & oven bag cooking multiple times. the trick is to be sure to use a black container to cook in and make sure the reflective surface really does track the sunlight. I've reached temperatures to bake, cook rice, cook eggs, etc. I keep a sunscreen & oven bag in my car trunk for emergency use also. Any food safe black container (even blackened with fire soot) will work to cook.

I know it's a bit different but here's one for ya. When I was younger working on HUGE construction sites with 2-3k construction workers we were ingenious. This was back when safety wasn't pushed as hard as it is now. Didnt have access to microwaves, or running water. We would take a box, throw some of the foam from lighting packaging around the walls of the box, then wrap a welding blanket around it. A couple 500 watt halogen stand light heads on top. Throw a can of soup, beans, chili, or whatever in at 9:00 break pop a hole in the lid and let it go. By lunch it would be scalding hot. Was great when way up north and stuck outside in coveralls, safety harness, and tool belt for 12 hr shifts in the snow all day.

Nice idea. I use the Stanley pot too, and have been following your mods. I'm wondering if you might get slightly more efficiency by moving the pot about 4-6" from the back of the reflector. Perhaps by taking a sheet of paper taped at the same diameter as the pot, holding it endwise (vertically), and moving it along the front/back axis of the cooking area you can find the most intensely-focused "sweet" spot?

@WayPointSurvival4 жыл бұрын
I prefer my cookware black. Wood is a poor conductor of heat and so a blackened pot absorbs much more of the radiant heat in the infrared spectrum from around the pot itself than a silvered one. Also a blackened pot is a more efficient emitter of infrared than a silvered one and so it also cools down faster. However, when sitting on a gas or alcohol stove, it's more about the conductivity of the metal than the color as it is being directly affected by the flame from mostly the bottom area. In this case, a copper or an actual silver pot (not Stainless Steel) would be the best conductor. I did not try it out in the silver stainless steel configuration as I wanted the best heat absorption possible. I have not yet selected a winner as I am waiting until I am done with the Stanley videos to do the drawing. I will post a video on it and name the winner.
