Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 good morning.....actually, aluminum is a better metal to use in solar ovens since it keeps them light and is usually used on the outside or as reflectors.....one uses glass or enamel ware to hold the food.....stainless would be overkill in this case.....in the kitchen it is grand but not in solar cooking solar ovens and cookers are really wonderful.....i, too have an s.o.s sport and dearly love it.....i bought it in florida but our yard had limited continuous sunshine and i could only cook a few things.....if one has a good number of hours of sunshine, they can be successful anywhere.....since we've moved to new mexico and i have a beautiful space with full sun from morninbg to afternoon, i've used it nearly every day in the spring, summer and early fall.....i just love it ! on another very happy note, since i have missed my solar cooker in the winter months, my early birthday gift is a global sun oven which will get to good oven temperatures even in the winter.....i'm excited.....peace, mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Glad you are enjoying your solar sport! I didn't care for the global sun, as it offgassed the smell of plastic too much and made the food taste like plastic. I did my best to get rid of the smell over the course of a year, but it never would go away. I had contacted the company in hopes they would address that issue, so please let me know how you like yours...am hoping they resolved the issue, as many others had complained of it in reviews as well. > > good morning.....actually, aluminum is a better metal to use in solar ovens since it keeps them light and is usually used on the outside or as reflectors.....one uses glass or enamel ware to hold the food.....stainless would be overkill in this case.....in the kitchen it is grand but not in solar cooking > > solar ovens and cookers are really wonderful.....i, too have an s.o.s sport and dearly love it.....i bought it in florida but our yard had limited continuous sunshine and i could only cook a few things.....if one has a good number of hours of sunshine, they can be successful anywhere.....since we've moved to new mexico and i have a beautiful space with full sun from morninbg to afternoon, i've used it nearly every day in the spring, summer and early fall.....i just love it ! > > on another very happy note, since i have missed my solar cooker in the winter months, my early birthday gift is a global sun oven which will get to good oven temperatures even in the winter.....i'm excited.....peace, mary > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have both the global sun I bought in Florida and it worked fine was never aware of an off-gassing issue. The solar sport I bought up here in washington state and found that for this area, I really had to get it started very early in the day and on a sunny day otherwise it would not cook enough not a problem with the global sun (but, then again, I was in Florida!) . It's probably a matter of learning to use it. I do like the size of the solar sport, and the fact that it would hold 2 pots.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 In the summer does it get too hot to leave the food in all day? *Rena* If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. Happy moments, *praise* God. Difficult moments, *seek* God. Quiet moments, *worship* God. Painful moments, *trust* God. Every moment, *thank* God.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 It is fine to leave food in all day, even in the summer-it works much like a slow cooker does. I always put my stuff in in the morning, then leave for the day-dinner is hot and ready whenever I get to it-LOVE that-no babysitting the cooking process!

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 good morning.....anything that you'd cook in a slow cooker will cook beautifully in a sport leaving it all day.....anyone whom i've known who uses one has needed to embrace the adventure of working with mother nature since climates vary so greatly but that is alot of the fun part, i think ! the s.o.s. " sport " does not get as hot as some of the others and will ( where we are ) keep at around 200 deg without the reflectors and will reach around 235 deg with the reflectors on good sunny days.....because of the way they heat, with the heat coming from all directions into the cooking vessel, the food won't " burn " .....all of the moisture stays inside too it is a great adventure !.....peace, mary > > > > > > > > good morning.....actually, aluminum is a better metal to use in solar > > ovens since it keeps them light and is usually used on the outside or as > > reflectors.....one uses glass or enamel ware to hold the food.....stainless > > would be overkill in this case.....in the kitchen it is grand but not in > > solar cooking > > > > > > > > solar ovens and cookers are really wonderful.....i, too have an s.o.s > > sport and dearly love it.....i bought it in florida but our yard had > > limited continuous sunshine and i could only cook a few things.....if one > > has a good number of hours of sunshine, they can be successful > > anywhere.....since we've moved to new mexico and i have a beautiful space > > with full sun from morninbg to afternoon, i've used it nearly every day in > > the spring, summer and early fall.....i just love it ! > > > > > > > > on another very happy note, since i have missed my solar cooker in the > > winter months, my early birthday gift is a global sun oven which will get > > to good oven temperatures even in the winter.....i'm excited.....peace, mary > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I have not been paying much attention to this thread but have now become interested. Where can I find out more info about these solar ovens? Also, during the summer we get up to around 112F for most of the summer, would it be okay to leave one all day at that temp as I work 10 hour days. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Although most solar cooking " rules " say you shouldn't use glass, I do all the time. We do fun " dinner-in-a-jar " recipes in mason jars, then cook them solar. Wonderful for things like omelets or pizza, where everyone wants different toppings or fillings. We do dessert-in-a-jar too, layering things like brownie mix with raspberry jam, marshmallows (homemade ones) berries, dried fruits, nuts, etc. I LOVE the two pots that come with the solar sport, but I also have a collection of various sized enamel pots that I use too. > > carolyn.....it sure would.....now i have warmed water for washing my hair in the summer by putting the plastic jugs in for just a couple of hours but i make sure to keep an eye on the time ( this is in the sport ).....aluminum foil reflects the sun.....people use cooking bags or parchment paper.....i keep my eyes open in thrift stores etc for dark enameled pots.....they, or pyrex type are efficient in solar cookers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 You can email me at berrywell@... for more info, or you can see the oven we are talking about at http://www.mymealmasters.com, but if you want to order one, email me rather than buying through the website, so you can get the group buy discount-184 for EVERYTHING you need to cook solar, except the food! GREAT DEAL!! (shipping is included in that price) You are safe leaving stuff in the oven all day, regardless of the temp outside. I cook year round in mine, with just as much success with 17 inches of snow on the ground as when it is scalding hot, lol > > > I have not been paying much attention to this thread but have now become interested.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I couldn't see me going out to cook in the snow. I might have put something on the grill if I could step out on the deck and no snow on it and then just go out to get it. I don't care if I never see snow again.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 The solar sport cooks GREAT in the winter...I am in Western NC, and cook year round with it-cooked last winter with 17 inches of snow on the ground and no power. The company that makes them is in Minnesota, and they do sidewalk demo's of the sport in the winter. I have been using my Sport since 2004, never had any issues in the cold. I can get group deals on the Global Sun oven too, but I am not a huge fan of it-it offgasses too much, I never could get the smell out of mine. If enough people are interested, I can work up a group order for them. I also have a homemade solar petal cooker that is great for boiling things. > > you're right, pam.....in the future when i don't have a zillion things to do i'm going to get working on my home made solar breadmaker.....i want to solar cook NOW and decided to just order one.....the sport won't get up to a cooking heat in the winter ( cold winters not florida winters ) and i've talked to people who have cooked successfully in the snow with the global sun oven.....there are lots of types of home made solar cookers that can be made at home for next to nothing.....once again, when my workload slows down and i have some time, i'm going to make a couple of small, fold up, emergency type solar cookers too > > there is a wonderful yahoo solar cooking group if anyone is interested in that too.....peace, mary > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I have started out going to a meeting in Ohio, in northern Ohio and gave up and drove back because the snows were so bad. I think that was when I decided I wanted to move to Florida. My dad had been down here and we came down on his birthday in February. My Dad's wife was surprised that we went out in bathing suits to the heated pool and complained of wind chill factor and we were laughing because we didn't see how you could have a wind chill factor at 70 degrees in February. I now live a bit farther south from where Dad was and I now understand what wind chill factor is down here. You get used to this weather. My sister was getting a home down here and was retiring and I figured I'd get a mobile home when I saw this one listed on ebay. I was 2 years from retirement and bought it, afraid I'd not be able to afford something down here. Well, it worked out. I got a great price because it was end of the " season " and prices were low. I have put a lot morre into this than I paid for it. I rented it out for 2 years until I retired and then before I really got here along came Wilma. Still have to repair some of the hurricane damage (insulation and moisture barrier underneath this. et more dust in than before. We had 2 years of nice vacations before and after the " season " . Of course, if I had come down this past year, I could have gotten a condo, but not at the same price as I began. Now it is like camping out or camping in all the time. Chilly or cold down here is 60 though we have an occasional 40 or 50 and that is about freezing to us. It is rare to have any frost. I sure am not complaining.
