Cooking with the Sun

Solar cooking (harnessing the heat of the sun to cook food in a solar or sun oven) is a triple treat for me because it enables me to conserve energy, enjoy the outdoors more and cook delicious food all at once! If you haven’t yet tried solar cooking (or have never even heard of it) read on for tips on why and how to get started.
Aside from the obvious benefits; saving energy and therefore money, solar cooking has many other added incentives. It enables you to:
1) save time by letting food cook while you do something else
2) cook and pasteurize water wherever you are (on the beach, at the park, camping)
