Solar cookers are great...until you want to cook something in the evening/early morning.


How true. The problem is cooking after an earthquake when there's no electricity or gas, and you can't get to your Coleman stove and fuel (or you ran out in a few days - how long was New Orleans abandoned?). shrug - everything's a compromise.

This is a solar oven most people could make from what's available after the tornado, earthquake, hurricane, when there is no other way to cook. Now all that's left is getting something to cook. :-> Oh, and a pot to cook it in.
