No kidding. That food looks fantastic.
How much do you have to alter your normal cooking perimeters (times, types of pans, etc) to accommodate for the difference between this oven and say a convection (or regular electric for that matter)?

If you think that come SHTF you are gonna jock up in all your kit and be a death-dealing one man army, you're an idiot - izzyscout
I have seen these and seriously thought about buying one but wasn't sure if they really worked and worth the money...ok, you sold me! I guess I'm going to have to look them back up and maybe ask for one for Christmas! The bread looked wonderful................
This is very hard to answer. It all depends on the sun.Originally Posted by The Stig
On average our oven will reach about 350 degrees but it has reached as high as 425 on rare occassions and sometimes will hover around the 250 mark and not go higher. If it stays that low for an extended period, depending on what I'm cooking, I'll bring the food in and and cook it on the stove to kill any bacteria.
Solar cooking requires attention. As the sun tracks across the sky you need to adjust your oven accordingly by either turning it or tilting it higher or lower depending on the sun's rays.
As for the pans, if you order the oven from an online source, spend the extra few bucks to get the cookware right off the bat. The inside of the oven is very small and many traditional cookware items won't fit. We didn't order the cookware and are finding it incredibly difficult finding things that will fit...but I've made do with a few things I had on hand. I can order the cookware but I have to pay shipping so I'm trying to avoid it by finding alternatives...save yourself some trouble...if you ever order an oven, go ahead and order the cookware that is specially made for the oven.
And don't be fooled...this is not an Easy Bake Oven...it's the real deal. I've severly burned myself more than once putting food in or taking it out. And Sunglasses are a must. If you walk up to your oven with no eye protection you will see Sun Spots for days.
Do you still need to rotate if you place it in an area of full sun?

Yes.
I'd LOVE to have one of those ovens but I don't have the money to buy one. I've got boxes, foil, black paint, plastic and directions on how to build one but just haven't gotten around to it yet. Thanks for motivating me to get off my backside and get to work Justa!
