Product Description
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- Entire kit weighs 1 lb, 12 oz and oven folds down to the size of a 3-ring binder.
- State-of-the-art closed cell insulation. Oven can reach temperatures of up to 285 F. Temperature varies depending on season and location. Compare to slow cookers that range between 180 - 300 F or a stovetop that reaches 212 F (boiling) with simmering at 180-190 F. Simmering is a gentler method of cooking, ensuring more tender and flavorful food.
- Four-season cooking below 40 degrees latitude and three-season above. A UV index of 3+ is best for solar cooking.
- Oven folds to 2 x 11 x 13 inches.

The silicone pan included doesn't heat as well as a dark metal pan, and the zipper is very flimsy and doesn''t hold up to heavy use.

It was easy to assemble and seems to be quite sturdy in it's contraction. Time will tell how sturdy it really is.
On a side note when I was using my large American Sun Oven to dehydrate some mushrooms on a whim I threw some in this mini to see what would happen. It worked great! I liked the way they came out even better than the ones in my larger oven. I flipped the mini around so the zipper was on the top and vented out the moisture. Of course you couldn't use this to make large quantities. But if you just had one or two pieces of fruit that were going bad and you don't want to pull out your large dehydrator for just one trays worth of food you could easily use the mini. No sense in letting your unused fruit go bad and end up throwing it away when you can easily use the mini to preserve it. And for the cost of it I wanted to make sure I can save as much money as possible as to make it 'pay for itself'. I put the sliced mushrooms on a small cooling rack I had already and placed that on the black tray that comes with it. This way there are air underneath the fruit as well.
My only constructive feedback is that it is pretty expensive. While I have enjoyed it so far it is on the upper range of what I want to spend on 'toys' and would be a bigger fan if it wasn't so expensive. Not the kind of thing you can easily give as a gift in this price range.
This solar oven is still working amazingly and still holding up very well. I have recently been using it to disinfect my N95 masks and other filter inserts.
Since then, I have come across a Washington Post article highlighting the practice of disinfecting N95's in a rice cooker for 50 minutes at 212° with no pressure. This solar oven reaches temps just over 225°. With a little fine tuning of its positioning relative to the sun, it can get close to 240° during the summer.
So this article, in no uncertain terms, has corroborated what I've doing for about a month or so. I will continue to disinfect my masks in this manner but now I wish I had the larger solar oven, as this one can only accommodate 4 N95's across the oven floor.
(Update: 01-07-17)
Still works great and the clear plastic cover is still as clear as it was when I first purchased it. No signs of yellowing from repeated use nor any signs of creasing in the clear plastic cover from folding it flat from storage.
I did see a question about how it performed in the cold. I've never used it in the cold so I decided to see how hot it would get. I'm in Kentucky and it's currently 16°F with clear skies. I started testing it at 1:45pm, and it took 15 minutes to get to around 150°F.
However, it only managed to get up 168°F despite being left out for over 2 hours. Interesting to note, though, is that it was at that temperature even though it sat on top of snow. Moving it to a dry chair did not increase its cooking temperature at all.
Probably could only use it in winter to warm up canned goods because at this latitude I'm looking at maybe 4 hours (tops) of good sun. More than likely couldn't cook anything raw due to low temps and sunlight duration. Others may get hotter temps at lower latitudes and possibly in warmer ambient temperatures. Still 5 stars for me though.
(Original review)
This is my first solar oven but I was surprised in its abilities. It's smaller than I thought it would be but it contains everything one needs to cook without constantly monitoring the food.
The highest temperature I've been able to attain was just above 225 degrees. It heats up fast. I tried to set it inside a sealed car on a sunny day but it didn't get any hotter. I think the UV rejecting properties of the front windshield had something to do with that.
It comes with a solid surface flat trivet that doubles as a baking sheet, albeit small. Also comes with a collapsible silicone pot with lid, small as well, a thermometer, a cooking guide, and a bag to carry everything in.
Very light and very portable. Cooked rice and beans just recently during a partly sunny day. We forgot about it hours later and the food was very fresh, still moist and still very hot! Very pleased.
