solar oven

Sunlight-powered cookware

A solar oven is a device that uses sunlight to cook food or heat water, concentrating solar energy through reflective panels or a transparent enclosure.

Solar ovens range from simple cardboard-and-foil constructions to elaborate parabolic cookers: We baked bread in a solar oven during the camping trip.

They're valued for off-grid cooking and in regions with limited fuel access.
