What is a solar oven?
A solar oven is an outdoor cooking appliance that turns sunlight into real oven heat. No electricity, no gas, no propane: reflective panels concentrate sunshine through a glass door into an insulated cooking chamber, where the temperature builds and holds. On a clear summer day, a quality solar oven reaches 350-400°F, hot enough to bake bread, roast a chicken, or simmer a pot of chili.
Cooking with one feels familiar. You preheat it, load your dish, and watch the built-in thermometer, just like your kitchen oven. Cook times run a bit longer, with an average of 30 minutes added to most recipes. You readjust the oven to follow the sun every 15 to 30 minutes.
People rely on solar ovens for three reasons: everyday, environmentally-friendly cooking that trims the energy bill, off-grid and camping trips where fuel is a hassle, and emergency preparedness, because when the power goes out, the sun is still up. Solar cooking costs nothing to run, works anywhere with clear skies, and never runs out of fuel.
My Solar Oven is a box-style solar oven made in the USA, with a tempered low-iron glass door, a self-leveling rack, and a limited lifetime warranty. It is rugged, durable, and built to last. My Solar Oven is a true oven, powered entirely by the sun.

How My Solar Oven Works:
My Solar Oven uses the greenhouse effect to cook food with nothing but sunlight. The reflector panels concentrate sunlight into a rugged, insulated cooking chamber, where the black anodized aluminum interior absorbs and retains heat. The extra-clear glass door allows maximum light to enter while the silicone gasket creates an airtight seal, trapping the heat inside. Built with high-quality materials in the USA and designed to last, My Solar Oven is a fully functional oven powered entirely by the sun.

Specifications & Capabilities
My Solar Oven measures 19" x 22" x 14.25" and is built from durable, high-quality components. From the black anodized aluminum cooking chamber to the extra-clear glass door and heavy-duty reflector panels. In summer with clear skies, the oven can reach 350-400°F, and 275–350°F on sunny winter days. The built-in Quick Align tool (two holes on the white plastic pieces at the base of the glass panel) lets you aim the oven precisely at the sun in seconds. A self-leveling hanging rack keeps your cookware steady, and the adjustable rear metal stand with included ground stakes provides stable positioning in a range of conditions. When you're done, fold the reflectors flat, secure with the strap, and it's compact and ready for storage or transport.
