Solar Cooker

Step 6Tips

The funnel can be tilted in the direction of the sun.
A stick placed across from one side of the funnel to the other helps to stabilize it in windy weather (see photo).
After cooking, simply fold up your oven and slip the elastic bands in place for easy travel or storage.

The oven will heat up to about 350 degrees F.

Wow. Thanks for the easy way to make this solar oven happen. I sort of don't understand the velcro strips part; is it only to make the funnel shape and if so, can you put in photos? So far, I can't figure out where to put them and seeing it would help. I'd also like to try this with my mylar "hot n cold" thermal bags, so I'd really appreciate you input. Thanks again. For decades, I've been interested in doing this, but the books I have are so complicated with angle formulas I just gave up.

Supercool!  Thanks for making solar cooking easily accessible ~ this is a genius plan.  I live in Houston, so I will definitely be trying this to keep from heating my kitchen this summer.
