SOLAR OVENS: THE TRUTH ABOUT SOLAR OVENS!!! TIRED OF THE OTHER INFOMERCIALS???

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

Years ago on a 4th of July when it was well over 100 degrees, I just felt like I could not cook in the house because I did not want to add more heat to the house. So I talked my husband and his friend into building a solar oven. They built it outside in that terrible heat (I was out there with them supervising!). What a loyal husband! I have used it many times. I usually use it when it is too hot to cook inside. It is great!

[@AvailableUsernameTed]

My car is a solar oven in the summer.

[@StarryHilder]

i use that too!!! Great fruit leathers

[@huckfinn4260]

I rise my bread in the car in the winter.

[@ccsworldaustralia4332]

LOL, mine too unfortunately im the only one cooking inside....

[@MissDebra]

Yes, I have heated many a pizza on top of the dashboard! For real.

[@Tsiri09]

That's true.

[@seungjisuh5784]

I have the newest model of The ASSC. Love it. I live in the desert so I use solar cooking almost exclusively. I have a Sun Oven, A UGLI Hybrid, and two big ones that I made out of stainless steel cooler cabinets. I really love the ASSC though simply because its so portable, and because I am up before dawn and outside (am a farmer) - I can start the ASSC as soon as the beautiful sun peeks over the horizon. If you put a paver stone under the trivet, it won't blow away.

[@ProspectorsGhost]

I remember years ago (somewhere around the late 1960's), reading a book which I had checked out of the local library, which had complete "DIY" plans (including actual dimensions) to make a solar oven out of sheet metal. - The oven box itself when built, was around 14"(width (front to back)) X 15" (in length) X 12" (in height). - It (the box), was painted inside and out with a high temp flat black engine paint that would withstand temps of around 500 degrees F. - It had a 1/4 inch glass plate installed into the panel on top. It had a hinged metal door in the front side (just like a real oven). - It had 3 or 4 folding sheet metal panels which were highly polished (towards the box side), attached with hinges around the top edges which could be positioned towards the sun to direct the sunlight down through the glass top into the oven box and onto the pan, skillet, etc. which was placed inside with food. - I remember that it had small vent slots (cut into the metal) to keep the inside pressure (due to excessive heat), stable to keep it from cracking the glass top (but after all these years, I can't remember where they were positioned at (but I think they were on at least 3 of the sides)). - The reason I mention this is because I have yet to see a solar oven made from metal, which would stand up to rough abuse (out in the outdoors camping world), which would last for any length of time. - Most of them for sale on the commercial market now-a-days are usually flimsily (and cheaply) made out of cardboard, which probably wouldn't last for more than a few uses. - Oh well, so much for the (supposed), "cheaper the better, and throw-away", modern technology. - Anyway, there are the basic dimensions, if somebody decided they wanted to try and build one for their own use. - I take no responsibility for any burned fingers, or other personal injury's (if incurred), in the building, or the use, of such a device. - P.S. The author who had built it himself, said it worked quite well, and a lot better than he expected, and it did stand up for many years of use, and abuse.

[@jamescorriher76]

Thanks for actual real info i dont think the new ones would last either besides a cardboard box wrapped in heavy foil probally work just as good

[@burnsmybritches5857]

Most of everyone who owns and cooks with a solar cooker use them on the road. Limited space, portability, and storage is what sells these things.

[@kevinrehberg8758]

What too many overlook is the other possible applications.....Sure its good for an oven... but they can also be used as a hot water heater.. That oven gets up to 350 degrees internally if allowed to do so.. What about making a coil within the oven that could pass water through it??? And with enough ingenuity make it easily removable with a valve???

The All American Solar Cooker is not made out of cardboard. Quote AASC "The All Season Solar Cooker is constructed using 4mm corrugated polypropylene. A 2 mil outdoor rated reflective polyester film is pressure laminated to the polypropylene."

[@funkyguy99]

All Season Solar Cooker sounds too long winded to say. Just abbreviate it to ASS Cooker instead!

Just bought the All Season Solar Cooker and we love it! Already made Hawaiin Chicken and it worked great. I slice the chicken horizontally so it cooked really fast.

[@BRATTICUS68]

I'm thinking about getting one. Can you actually use a silicone pot in this? My thinking is for storing all of it in a bug out bag. Thanks

[@sandradelvecchio6894]

I can’t get mine above 250*, I’ve used it 3x now. Such a pain.

[@suzyq6767]

I love my Sun Oven and use it often to cook all sorts of deliciousness: beans, rice, soups, etc. I've even baked bread on a 15F day in January with a couple feet of snow on the ground. Once, though, it cartwheeled across the backyard with my beautiful half-cooked stew inside. In a windy climate, tie it down. You can't say the following, but I can. Daniel 1:12 - Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. Psalm 113:3 - From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the LORD is to be praised.

[@WayBackWhenWe]

Great video. Thank you. I'm not a prepper or off the grid or anything.. I live in a major city actually... But I just thought the idea of a solar cooker was brilliant, and I figured it could come in handy in case of an emergency, like a hurricane, or a power outage. I think everybody has experienced a power outage in their life. And I just happened to have picked the all season solar cooker like the one you're showing in the video. So God brought me to the right one! And I'm glad you created this video to explain the differences between them, because I have seen all of those different solar cookers and I didn't know which one was the best. The main reason why I went with the all season was mostly because of the fact that it can use sunlight from sunrise to sunset whereas most other cookers it's mostly only in the middle of the day that you can use it. And I've still never used my cooker! I thought about cooking a chicken or or something, like I saw someone do online, I start to check it out because I'm afraid I'm going to spend money on the food and do the preparation and everything and then screw it up somehow. But now that the hurricane is about to plow through America I may end up needing to use it sooner than I thought. So thanks for the video much appreciated.

[@BeachPrepper]

Oh my gosh - I think it is the greatest and makes the best tasting food and cooks super fast on a hot day. I used my solar oven for the first time this month- it has been in storage for 2 years saved for Emergency Prep but we decided to have a practice week so we brought it out. We spent about $350 for All American Sun Oven. But using it for everything now. HOWEVER I have a Portable Rocket Stove and I love love love that for night time use especially.

[@jengoods2246]

I got an all American solar oven for Christmas, I'm still learning to use it.....

[@GardenerEarthGuy]

Jen Goods Mine works great. My compliant with it is cheap screws that rust, aligners glued to glass pop off, thermometer broke a month old. For a few extra bucks that oven would be bulletproof, don't know why they skimp, but whatever.

[@DivergentDroid]

Similar to these you can use a Fresnel lens for very hot very fast cooking as seen from GreenPowerScience channel. If the solar oven is like a slow cooker, the Fresnel lens is like a microwave.

[@justinw1765]

Inverted conical work pretty well too, though not as high powered as the Fresnel.

[@donnaleekidd4988]

I have too many squirrels around. They ate my Thanksgiving pecan pie that I was cooking on my deck

[@carrie8994]

It is so wonderful when I can come across the rare REAL talks about items. I value honest info so much, especially in this day and age where information can be driven more by personal interests (money gain, making connections, etc) than by a real interest to provide the truth. I have thought about solar ovens, both for home use and for camping, so this is good to know. Especially since any camping use would require something that could take a bit of a beating and still do it's job!

[@WayBackWhenWe]

Carrie I know exactly what you mean! It is very very refreshing.

[@wandarettinger5674]

Starry have you cooked in the oven in freezing temperatures? I live in Canada and plan on getting one for summer cooking. If I could use it year round that would be great.

[@cynthiarothrock4255]

The type solar cooker is advertised for hikers and backpackers. Traveling in no fire zones. As an alternative to gas stoves for backpacking.

[@wheepingwillow24u17]

Disappointed you didn't have a link to what you're discussing. IF I missed it somehow, sorry, but could you list a link, thanks

[@garyshields2734]

You can make your own gigantic parabolic solar dish reflector cheaply with heavy aluminum foil. You can tape the pieces together or use glue. Coat the back with the Great Stuff insulation foam. It dries stuff.

[@DianeTheCanningNana]

This is something I have wanted to add to our self sufficient lifestyle for many years💗💗🤗

[@ylcalif3681]

All American Solar Oven has a Plex cover to keep the heat in. I have the older version that is advertised to heat up to 350 degrees. But that happens only if you constantly adjust it for optimum sun capture. If you don't adjust it to the passing sun, you can expect it to heat closer to 325 degrees and expect about double the cook time. I used the solar oven exclusively the first summer of purchase to get familiar with it. Now I have the peace of mind that I can cook with just the energy of the sun.

[@THEGrammaChronicles]

I love my GoSun! The one you show is the medium sized one. There is a much larger Go sun that will cook two loaves of bread at a time. It even has a battery that stores the energy from the sun to use at night. So you could cook for a family with that one.

[@kenta3148]

Thank you. I just ordered 2 from Amazon. Your manufacture's link did not work. We use a crock pot often, so this makes sense.

[@debbiehuston7515]

Thanks! You sold me on this. I stack the 4qt bowls they recommend with 3 qt on top. When I surround the whole thing with 6 RV reflective shades (the kind that fold into thin circles when done) the temp raises 100° F. Baked bread at 360° F even on a cloudy day. Thanks again, it was worth the price.

[@jessicag630]

6:19 What is it made of by the way? Is it either stainless steel or aluminum? Does it have any insulation material too like styrofoam on the sides and glass you can put on top?

[@NomadMechanic]

I have acquired some large reflectix sheets that I'm going to make 3 or 4 different size ovens. I wonder if utilizing a car window glass for a front would make it get really hot in there.

[@retiredandpreppingquilting2350]

I just subscribed to you channel. I just found you channel. I ordered a solar over 2 or 3 years ago and have cooked in it several times. I retired 5 years ago and was looking for way to get buy incase everything went down. I have cooked all kinds of thing in it. I made video on some of it. Mine is a metal box with a glass top. I love the way it cooks. The only thing i don't have is a way to heat my house incase if the power goes out. I could get a kersine heater and buy kersine for it. I use to have one and heated my mobil home when my children were growing up. I don't have one now. I have stock up on freeze dried food. I live in town and my yard is clay so there isw no way I could put in a graden. I hope you and you family have a Happy and safe New Year. Be blessed. Thank you so much for sharing.

Old projector TV's are easy to find for free. The front screen is a Fresnel lens. I seen people make a frame for these and put them in front of a pot.

[@chronobot2001]

An open design looks like it might work OK in the summer with max sun, but in the winter I would have my doubts. Maybe I am wrong... But I doubt it.

[@anitawalters5672]

I wish I would have known about this all season solar cooker before I purchased the one that I got, because of the space in the actual cooking space.

[@thomasbond403]

Would like to try it on my sailboat. How will it work as the boat swings on anchor?

[@mangreat71]

What's best name brand bags to bake chocolate chip cookies on the go.I can put like a small pan in the bag with aluminum foil, maybe I can leave it in my car to expand the heat ???? And what else could I put in the bag to make the inside of the bag hotter ?????

[@solarpanelsarecool]

The evacuated tube cookers come into their own at higher latitudes where we have less sunlight available and need more insulation. I'm in the UK and we were able to cook bread in December using one of these, when a sun oven or panel cooker wouldn't work effectively.

[@Guildbrookfarm]

Really good review Starry. Very helpful. Thank you so much!

[@Michigansnowpony]

I love my sun ovens. My only "problem" with them is during the winter, we rarely have enough sunshine in W. Michigan to use it effectively. (Using the sun in Michigan can be challenging!) But it works wonderfully when we DO have sun -- I love to use them instead of heating the kitchen up with the oven/stove in the summer. I'm surprised you can control / regulate the temperature enough to incubate yogurt or dehydrate things -- never tried that. Huh! I think mine would get too hot or the temp would fluctuate too much.

[@MinaFats]

Should it be direct sunlight?

[@gaillewis5472]

I own a GoSun Sport and GoSun Go. They work great, but are pricey. I bought them when there were mad promotions and got each one for at least $40 off.

[@brianjones7521]

Does it work to preheat a PRESSURE COOKER on a flame then put it in a solar oven?

[@michaelmoore3360]

We just baked bread in our today, and it browned too. Awesome it's not as good as a conventional oven, but it a great back up, and a way to save on electricity. That alone is worth it.

[@moncorp1]

I just made some lamb shanks in my solar oven. I was skeptical, but man they were delicious.

[@cutesybunny3360]

One thing I saw was that nothing should be sitting on the bottom directly. They said to put a trivit on the bottom and then your pot on top of the trivit. It needs air flow to cook it quicker. 🙂👍

[@walterlopata930]

shared on facebook, question, would the solar oven work, if you made a small she'd to help in cooler weather, windows on three side or something or in a small greenhose?

[@beararms6945]

The Gosun Go Solar Oven works perfectly fine in sun or cloudy skies,use it just about every day,makes chicken breast and diced potatoes sooooo moist,makes steaks and unfortunately she's wrong the Gosun comes in 5 sizes and we cook for the whole family and there's 6 of us !! Best part is it gets around 500° degrees

[@Grizz270]

not to be negetive or anything but i just dont get the solar oven unless one lives in an area where one cant get wood .....as an emergency back up cooker all i need is wood and i have plenty of that around here .. we can bake a pie we can make bread cook birds ...aint nothing you cant cook with wood ...winter time when i do want hot foods its cloudy and rainy here ... summer time i want cold foods or grilled foods ....but i guess its what ever blows ones skirt up

I'm wondering if you can use a black mailbox for an oven with reflectix to direct the sun on it.

[@graysonsmith7031]

Surely you could modify a solar oven to contain an electric heating element (I don't think heat pumps will get hot enough) to boost the temp of the oven to 400 degrees.

[@priusdwelling504]

Know that the Go Sun cooks 4 times faster which means 4 times bigger. It needs less sun and is a more advanced technology over other solar cookers. You might want to use one before you are so quick to compare. Really it’s a great overall solar cooker for a homesteader!

[@SnoopyDoofie]

Why are you using a metal pot? All that metal causes a lot of heat loss. Just use a glass casserole pot which allows all the sun rays through.

[@devbruhlstone5585]

a black pot absorbs the heat

[@joeltimo5128]

So I don’t know since this video was made I think there is been quite a bit more solar ovens. The design does not look complex at all. You can make your own. I have an American Sun oven. You can cook your around all day in it as long as it’s in the sun. So that would be three meals a day. The only inconvenience I have is I would have to cook in my front yard to make breakfast. For now I don’t feel like making breakfast in it anyways so not a big deal.

[@mikha007]

thanks for the hot tips about the dehydrator....so the heat attraction is the silver base the pot sits on and the side flaps prevent heat loss from wind and slow down accumulated heat loss?

[@justinw1765]

There is another type--an inverted conical type. It's very efficient and safer than some others.

[@graysonsmith7031]

I bet a solar oven could be built that has a parabolic dish that tracks the sun and concentrates the sunlight into an optical fiber that could then be sent into either an indoor oven or a more well insulated oven. That way you could gain almost all the light energy from the area of the dish and be able to pass that into a well insulated container to achieve much higher temperatures more quickly and consistently.

[@deedeeinwi]

Do you need a trivet, it looks like you don't have it on a trivet. On Amazon it seems to instruct.. that you put your pan inside a glass bowl. you don't have your in a glass bowl. So what's the real story on what else you need to cook in this

[@nol1379]

The cooking surface size like burner surfaces. Does it work with cast iron Dutch ovens? How about working with vertical can roasters?

[@JayWandersOut]

It could work with cast iron but it will take longer to get it heated up initially since it takes a lot of energy to heat the all that metal. You'd want to heat the pan before adding food as well since if you put food in at the same time it'll sit in the danger temperature zone longer. The advantage is if the sun gets covered by clouds it'll still stay hot for longer as well. Pros and cons to everything. Every solar oven retailer however recommends using the thin enamel pots though so I'd stick with their recommendation.

[@loucilehall4344]

[@ElectedOfficial1]

I'm too late for the giveaway, but really like what you said. How long are cooking times? I'm a vegan and cook veggie stews without the roast or chicken. Right now, in my apartment, I use an electronic pressure cooker and a small, for 2 people, plug-in rice cooker. Wonder if rice would do well adding green peppers, mushrooms, red onions, garlic, and maybe broccoli cauliflower asparagus, etc? It turns out beautiful in my QVC $19.99 Cooks Essentials cooker.

Hi, I have to say its a really cool video - we specialise in Parabolic Cookers in South Africa. Small correction point - You can use 10 Liter pots - which can easily feed up to 8 people so - I would say you can actually use Parabolics for homesteading and its not actually a small pot. - I would also say you always want a n Oven as well as a concentrator Cooker - there is a design for any need or lifestyle

[@FRESNEL_COOKING_SOLAR_OVENS24]
