The Office Worker's Portable Solar Oven

Step 8 The Reflective Surfaces

Once properly stuffed I rapped the bottom liner of the oven in tinfoil and installed it into the oven.

I then wrapped each of the side liners in tin foil and assembled them.

Everything fits together perfectly.

I found a typo, "rapped" should be "wrapped".

Aluminum foil. Tin foil was around when our grandparents were children. :)

When I was a young whippersnapper.... My 1955 encyclopedia lists the three most common uses for lead: lead solder, lead paint, and lead foil. Ha!

I always call aluminum foil "tin foil" though, just like my father always called the refrigerator the "ice box."

Good lunch warmer, Z0rb. We get lots of sun here. It will work well.

True! haha - although for information's sake (in case there was ever any kind of specific need for *tin* foil as opposed to aluminum), they actually still make tin foil these days - you can find it at florists shops that carry it. It's often preferred over aluminum at such places for some reason or other.

Or even Aluminium if you don't hail from the US. Just thought of it after reading the syllables comment below :)

It's quicker to say 'tin foil'; then you have three extra syllables to spend on something more important!

Everyone is a critic :P

FYI the term aluminium foil is not the common terminology in every part of the world
