solar ovens
Sunlight-powered cooking boxes
Solar ovens are cooking devices that use sunlight as their heat source, concentrating or trapping solar energy to cook food.
They range from simple cardboard-and-foil boxes to elaborate parabolic reflectors.
Solar ovens work best in sunny climates and require longer cooking times than conventional ovens: We baked bread in the solar oven during the camping trip.
