I Would Go For The Round Tabletop 1,Would Be Plenty For 2 Of Us,and Would Only Get Used Summer,We Dont See Much Sunlight In The Winter,Would Be Useless
what temperature does it cook at? You mentioned dehydrating herbs and making yogurt. but a chicken has to be cooked at a higher temperature and sustained for a long period of time
Hi Starry, love your videos and found this video on solar cooking great! We are new homesteading and love all the info in your videos! Have a great day!
Shared to Facebook. I don't have any other accounts. Thank you Starry (and Mr Hilder), your videos are full of inspiring knowledge. Blessings to you both.
No demo? Is the sun powerful enough at these latitudes this time of year or is it more of a summer thing? In other words is it really all season or does it vary quite a bit with time of year?
How about a more QUANTITATIVE comparison.. and have the other models there .. I think this one looks very flimsy and if you had to use it full time it might not last a number of years.. How about comparing temps and comparative cooking times and size of pots - volume of food they accommodate one model from another and prices .. There are set up variables as well .. this one looks like a wind can put your dinner on the ground pretty easily.. Try are more Consumer Report type information session .. that compares all variables .. yet you are trying to help.. its a start
alfriedar ... I can assure you there is nothing flimsy about the All Season solar cooker, it is very rugged very strong very sturdy. It is intentionally designed to be thin lightweight and easily movable and collapsible. Additionally it is designed so that the panels move as the sun moves through the sky you just simply push the panel's a certain direction and it adjusts . You can't do this with any other type of solar cooker on the market. And when you're finished with it You can just fold it up and put it away. It's held together with a couple of bolts which you don't have to use actually. You can just use clothes pins. It's perfect because it's not big and clunky like all the other ones. Mine is folded up behind my bedroom door.
Years ago on a 4th of July when it was well over 100 degrees, I just felt like I could not cook in the house because I did not want to add more heat to the house. So I talked my husband and his friend into building a solar oven. They built it outside in that terrible heat (I was out there with them supervising!). What a loyal husband! I have used it many times. I usually use it when it is too hot to cook inside. It is great!
I remember years ago (somewhere around the late 1960's), reading a book which I had checked out of the local library, which had complete "DIY" plans (including actual dimensions) to make a solar oven out of sheet metal. - The oven box itself when built, was around 14"(width (front to back)) X 15" (in length) X 12" (in height). - It (the box), was painted inside and out with a high temp flat black engine paint that would withstand temps of around 500 degrees F. - It had a 1/4 inch glass plate installed into the panel on top. It had a hinged metal door in the front side (just like a real oven). - It had 3 or 4 folding sheet metal panels which were highly polished (towards the box side), attached with hinges around the top edges which could be positioned towards the sun to direct the sunlight down through the glass top into the oven box and onto the pan, skillet, etc. which was placed inside with food. - I remember that it had small vent slots (cut into the metal) to keep the inside pressure (due to excessive heat), stable to keep it from cracking the glass top (but after all these years, I can't remember where they were positioned at (but I think they were on at least 3 of the sides)). - The reason I mention this is because I have yet to see a solar oven made from metal, which would stand up to rough abuse (out in the outdoors camping world), which would last for any length of time. - Most of them for sale on the commercial market now-a-days are usually flimsily (and cheaply) made out of cardboard, which probably wouldn't last for more than a few uses. - Oh well, so much for the (supposed), "cheaper the better, and throw-away", modern technology. - Anyway, there are the basic dimensions, if somebody decided they wanted to try and build one for their own use. - I take no responsibility for any burned fingers, or other personal injury's (if incurred), in the building, or the use, of such a device. - P.S. The author who had built it himself, said it worked quite well, and a lot better than he expected, and it did stand up for many years of use, and abuse.
What too many overlook is the other possible applications.....Sure its good for an oven... but they can also be used as a hot water heater.. That oven gets up to 350 degrees internally if allowed to do so.. What about making a coil within the oven that could pass water through it??? And with enough ingenuity make it easily removable with a valve???
The All American Solar Cooker is not made out of cardboard. Quote AASC "The All Season Solar Cooker is constructed using 4mm corrugated polypropylene. A 2 mil outdoor rated reflective polyester film is pressure laminated to the polypropylene."
Actually you do sound like an infomercial . You missed the most important point , showing it in action . Plain an simple just cook on it start ti finish . Everything else is blah blah
I have the newest model of The ASSC. Love it. I live in the desert so I use solar cooking almost exclusively. I have a Sun Oven, A UGLI Hybrid, and two big ones that I made out of stainless steel cooler cabinets. I really love the ASSC though simply because its so portable, and because I am up before dawn and outside (am a farmer) - I can start the ASSC as soon as the beautiful sun peeks over the horizon. If you put a paver stone under the trivet, it won't blow away.
Jen Goods Mine works great. My compliant with it is cheap screws that rust, aligners glued to glass pop off, thermometer broke a month old. For a few extra bucks that oven would be bulletproof, don't know why they skimp, but whatever.
I wonder if you've heard about DIY solar oven that allow baking like lots of bread, cookies, etc. Plans are available, and for bigger solar cooker too, on Lytefire's website.
Just bought the All Season Solar Cooker and we love it! Already made Hawaiin Chicken and it worked great. I slice the chicken horizontally so it cooked really fast.
This channel is an infomercial to sell sell sell. In 6 years, you never used your solar cooker again. And the reason is it horrible. I bought the All Season Solar cooker because of this video. I totally believe in saving the environment and solar cooking is just one aspect of my personal commitment in being a responsible caretaker of the earth. So this video made me particularly mad. This solar cooker does not work - no more than any other solar cooker. This is the ultimate con - An infomercial calling other channels infomercials! I thought I could trust this channel because of the line "TIRED OF THE OTHER INFOMERCIALS???" Can't trust any TH-camr now-a-days. Anyway, I've bought five solar cookers and made 2 DIY units and this is what I know about solar. The Real Truth: No solar cooker works like the kitchen stove, not even a little close. The problem is power and heat distribution. I'd say you get roughly a max of 100watts per square foot of sunlight. That means to have the same power as a 1600W electric stove, You need a cooker with reflectors 4ftx4ft square. Because of this most solar cookers are very under powered and resemble 300W slow cookers or crock pots. The most powerful cookers are the parabolic but they have serious hot spot issues. Very hard to cook because things tend to burn. Also, a lot of the companies and models that you see videos are gone. A good example is a large vacuum tube to make a solar cooker. At one time you could get one for under $100 then build the body and reflectors yourself but they are not for sale anymore. Another example is the Sport Solar oven, out of stock for years. It looks like the future of solar cooking is solar panels powering an induction stove. India is leading the way and I hope it comes to USA. This allows the solar panels to be placed away from the cooker and cooker can be indoors, no need to cook outside and constantly readjust towards the sun. This channel is an infomercial to sell sell sell. I hope my real experience helps.
We are just starting out at age 43 with a homestead and you and Patera are so wonderful. great to know you two are friends. good luck at the conference. praise god for your healing and witness.
GoSun have several models of solar cookers. You showed one (The GoSun Sport) and said those type are not effective for cooking meals for a family. I have one of their bigger models and cook for my whole family in one go. Please look on their website before you utter opinion. You obviously did not look deep enough. (By the way, I think you are a lovely lady, but misinformed.)
Starry have you cooked in the oven in freezing temperatures? I live in Canada and plan on getting one for summer cooking. If I could use it year round that would be great.
It is so wonderful when I can come across the rare REAL talks about items. I value honest info so much, especially in this day and age where information can be driven more by personal interests (money gain, making connections, etc) than by a real interest to provide the truth. I have thought about solar ovens, both for home use and for camping, so this is good to know. Especially since any camping use would require something that could take a bit of a beating and still do it's job!
I have acquired some large reflectix sheets that I'm going to make 3 or 4 different size ovens. I wonder if utilizing a car window glass for a front would make it get really hot in there.
Glad I watched this I have been wanting one really bad ..I'm going to share your video twice and I would like to be put in for the drawing..I have my FB Group The Good Life..and the other MAINEiac Grammie's Homestead is where I put some of my TH-cam I post..Thanks for sharing...👍🐸
I just subscribed to you channel. I just found you channel. I ordered a solar over 2 or 3 years ago and have cooked in it several times. I retired 5 years ago and was looking for way to get buy incase everything went down. I have cooked all kinds of thing in it. I made video on some of it. Mine is a metal box with a glass top. I love the way it cooks. The only thing i don't have is a way to heat my house incase if the power goes out. I could get a kersine heater and buy kersine for it. I use to have one and heated my mobil home when my children were growing up. I don't have one now. I have stock up on freeze dried food. I live in town and my yard is clay so there isw no way I could put in a graden. I hope you and you family have a Happy and safe New Year. Be blessed. Thank you so much for sharing.
6:19 What is it made of by the way? Is it either stainless steel or aluminum? Does it have any insulation material too like styrofoam on the sides and glass you can put on top?
Great video. Thank you. I'm not a prepper or off the grid or anything.. I live in a major city actually... But I just thought the idea of a solar cooker was brilliant, and I figured it could come in handy in case of an emergency, like a hurricane, or a power outage. I think everybody has experienced a power outage in their life. And I just happened to have picked the all season solar cooker like the one you're showing in the video. So God brought me to the right one! And I'm glad you created this video to explain the differences between them, because I have seen all of those different solar cookers and I didn't know which one was the best. The main reason why I went with the all season was mostly because of the fact that it can use sunlight from sunrise to sunset whereas most other cookers it's mostly only in the middle of the day that you can use it. And I've still never used my cooker! I thought about cooking a chicken or or something, like I saw someone do online, I start to check it out because I'm afraid I'm going to spend money on the food and do the preparation and everything and then screw it up somehow. But now that the hurricane is about to plow through America I may end up needing to use it sooner than I thought. So thanks for the video much appreciated.
I do NOT like being negative... However This wasteful 10 mins, which in video title, thumbnail text, and tone of voice during presentation, gave every appearance of a thumbs down review of solar cookers. Very very confusing since everything you said was a pro, not a con, and then at the end you finally say you like it even though still using what sounds like a sarcastic irritated tone. I'm actually still not completely sure if you like it. Not only was it confusing, all 10 mins could have been summed up with: of the available types of soar cookers, the _____ fits our needs best. It's robust to the elements, large enough for a turkey, and has successfully cooked everything I want from _____ to _____, Thanks. 10 mins could have been 15 seconds........................................................................... 😒
You can make your own gigantic parabolic solar dish reflector cheaply with heavy aluminum foil. You can tape the pieces together or use glue. Coat the back with the Great Stuff insulation foam. It dries stuff.
09:45 the black dog is cute... And...cannot believe this...but I looked the whole video(I am drunk right now by the way). Was using search "Gosun boil water" on TH-cam and trying to find something using solar light to boil the water so I can use the water to "KILL" those grass(yea,no cooking or whatever.I only need the boiling-water to kill grass(grass or whatever,Im not an expert of English)). Anyway,I already decide to use the conventional way(the last part of this video) to build my solar system.And I just want to leave my comment to thanks the uploader for answering my question-in-heart.Really thanks.
So I don’t know since this video was made I think there is been quite a bit more solar ovens. The design does not look complex at all. You can make your own. I have an American Sun oven. You can cook your around all day in it as long as it’s in the sun. So that would be three meals a day. The only inconvenience I have is I would have to cook in my front yard to make breakfast. For now I don’t feel like making breakfast in it anyways so not a big deal.
My mother, has followed your great advice for years Now it's ny turn👍 And l have to say, your great!👍 I also follow and so does my mother off grid with Doug and Stacey, there channel is fantastic too.😉😊 God bless you, mom says you had a rough time, of it!😢 Sorry! But im glad your alright now. God willing! 🙏❤
If you are homesteading and can't figure out how to make a polished aluminum box for yourself, I fear there is no hope for you! Spending $350 for foil and cardboard!!! ?? that makes absolutely no cents.....
Grab a small piece of steel (thicker the better) or even just a frying pan that will transfer heat and then a magnifying glass... I'd like to see someone give it a try, or try it myself. Just setup the magnifying glass in the right spot and amplify the sunlight into a ridiculously hot cooking surface!!!
urban homesreader and wind turbine and solar panels. been looking for a solar cooker and wasn't sure which one. I also use a Wonder Bag Great item . or a Wonder Box. will share this on my fb group Bloom Where Your Planted. would love to win this oven! Happy Day
What's best name brand bags to bake chocolate chip cookies on the go.I can put like a small pan in the bag with aluminum foil, maybe I can leave it in my car to expand the heat ???? And what else could I put in the bag to make the inside of the bag hotter ?????
Plz do a video as to why this product is important. Why homestead living is important in today's world. I know ul do it well because u see the wisdom in living homestead off grid
Now a days who has enough time for wasting? Produce 2Kw of electricity using solar panel set up and run an induction cooktop using this electricity. It would be very fast and convenient than those useless, time wasting 'toy' type solar cooker.
1st Thessalonians 5:3 When they say peace and Safety then comes sudden destruction and none shall escape. No running water electricity or cars. You should start watching youtube videos on fish traps and other survival videos.
Nobody wants that tiny plastic thing. I'm building a real solar oven, with stainless steel, and that thing you are promoting is a toy cooker. Thumbs down.
pleasures starry let me win your solar cooker I Will share it one my fb page and some of my cooking fb groups that I am....missy Allen hope I win... If i win contact me fb messenger please and ty love your videos
85 up here at 7220 and within 1 1/2 hour my clear plastic tub of bagel bites were fully done ,, i make stir fry and freeze them , next day dashboard solar
WELL YOUR JUST A WOMAN.... LOL THIS IS THE BEST DEAL FOR OFF GRID LIVONG AS I DO... IT'S JUST ME... SO I'D OBVIOUSLY NOT NEED A LARGE SLEEVE FULL OF FOOD AND WHEN MY NEIGHBOR JOINS ME THIS IS STILL PERFECTLY ...
Bummer missed the contest...but obviously it doesn't cook at night...so any suggestions cookin off grid at night.?.i mean if theres nothin but fire at night then plannin ahead sounds like a must..but not hard to do
Know that the Go Sun cooks 4 times faster which means 4 times bigger. It needs less sun and is a more advanced technology over other solar cookers. You might want to use one before you are so quick to compare. Really it’s a great overall solar cooker for a homesteader!
solar oven are much more suitable for tropical and arid climates. i really want one because it's screaming hot in here,plus i have no oven. maybe i could ,at least, enjoy a bit of baking cookies or something haha
We just baked bread in our today, and it browned too. Awesome it's not as good as a conventional oven, but it a great back up, and a way to save on electricity. That alone is worth it.
Do you need a trivet, it looks like you don't have it on a trivet. On Amazon it seems to instruct.. that you put your pan inside a glass bowl. you don't have your in a glass bowl. So what's the real story on what else you need to cook in this
Share to Facebook! I wanted to come to the conference so badly, but I'm not going to be able to make it. Such a shame since we're so close! We live just over the Alabama line, so it's only like 3 hours away. Darn! Hope y'all have a great time!!
Trying to look like a hippy but she's not really an off gridder. If she was, those solar panels leaned against the wall behind her would have been put in a much better position.
My car is a solar oven in the summer.
i use that too!!! Great fruit leathers
I rise my bread in the car in the winter.
LOL, mine too unfortunately im the only one cooking inside....
Yes, I have heated many a pizza on top of the dashboard! For real.
That's true.
I Would Go For The Round Tabletop 1,Would Be Plenty For 2 Of Us,and Would Only Get Used Summer,We Dont See Much Sunlight In The Winter,Would Be Useless
Not sure if it would be practical in the UK given it's rarely sunny.
Why are you using a metal pot? All that metal causes a lot of heat loss. Just use a glass casserole pot which allows all the sun rays through.
a black pot absorbs the heat
Your shirt and the color of your solar cooker are the same colors I just bought to paint two side-by-side doors I have.
what temperature does it cook at? You mentioned dehydrating herbs and making yogurt. but a chicken has to be cooked at a higher temperature and sustained for a long period of time
I have shared this video by making my family members view it twice. Great
haha t hose poor people!:(
Have you baked bread in this? I bake whole wheat bread.

All Season Solar Cooker sounds too long winded to say. Just abbreviate it to ASS Cooker instead!
🤣🤣🤣
You sir, won the internet comment for the day
🤨🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣 love the abbreviation

Really good review Starry. Very helpful. Thank you so much!
Dude this video is so long and doesn't get to the point!!!!

Thanks for actual real info i dont think the new ones would last either besides a cardboard box wrapped in heavy foil probally work just as good
Most of everyone who owns and cooks with a solar cooker use them on the road. Limited space, portability, and storage is what sells these things.
What too many overlook is the other possible applications.....Sure its good for an oven... but they can also be used as a hot water heater.. That oven gets up to 350 degrees internally if allowed to do so.. What about making a coil within the oven that could pass water through it??? And with enough ingenuity make it easily removable with a valve???

I'm thinking about getting one. Can you actually use a silicone pot in this? My thinking is for storing all of it in a bug out bag. Thanks
I can’t get mine above 250*, I’ve used it 3x now. Such a pain.

Have fun at the conference. I shared the video.
I just made some lamb shanks in my solar oven. I was skeptical, but man they were delicious.
I shared on Facebook and Twitter. I can't wait to meet you at the Appalachian Homestead Conference..?😃
Good Morning Starry. Hope you have a great day.. Loretta , near Toronto
Hey Loretta, what's up?
You are SO good. I am so lucky to call you my friend! xo
only God is good and i bless all my enemies.
Martin "god is good"?!?!? Have you read the Old Testament?

Just shared this great video on my Facebook page and Twitter and going to post on my Sister's page! Thank you!
Have been really interested in solar cooking, shared your video to my local prepper FB group, thought they might love the info.
I have acquired some large reflectix sheets that I'm going to make 3 or 4 different size ovens. I wonder if utilizing a car window glass for a front would make it get really hot in there.
Glad I watched this I have been wanting one really bad ..I'm going to share your video twice and I would like to be put in for the drawing..I have my FB Group The Good Life..and the other MAINEiac Grammie's Homestead is where I put some of my TH-cam I post..Thanks for sharing...👍🐸
I really fancy the gosun sport...like Aaron the shepherd uses EVERY SINGLE DAY...He absolutely loves the gosun...
Your editing sucks. btw!
I just subscribed to you channel. I just found you channel. I ordered a solar over 2 or 3 years ago and have cooked in it several times. I retired 5 years ago and was looking for way to get buy incase everything went down. I have cooked all kinds of thing in it. I made video on some of it. Mine is a metal box with a glass top. I love the way it cooks. The only thing i don't have is a way to heat my house incase if the power goes out. I could get a kersine heater and buy kersine for it. I use to have one and heated my mobil home when my children were growing up. I don't have one now. I have stock up on freeze dried food.

I shared it with friends on Facebook and Pinned it to one of my Pinterest pages. Hope to have a place to use it in New Hampshire.
6:19 What is it made of by the way? Is it either stainless steel or aluminum? Does it have any insulation material too like styrofoam on the sides and glass you can put on top?
Great video. Thank you. I'm not a prepper or off the grid or anything.. I live in a major city actually... But I just thought the idea of a solar cooker was brilliant, and I figured it could come in handy in case of an emergency, like a hurricane, or a power outage. I think everybody has experienced a power outage in their life. And I just happened to have picked the all season solar cooker like the one you're showing in the video. So God brought me to the right one! And I'm glad you created this video to explain the differences between them, because I have seen all of those different solar cookers and I didn't know which one was the best. The main reason why I went with the all season was mostly because of the fact that it can use sunlight from sunrise to sunset whereas most other cookers it's mostly only in the middle of the day that you can use it. And I've still never used my cooker! I thought about cooking a chicken or or something, like I saw someone do online, I start to check it out because I'm afraid I'm going to spend money on the food and do the preparation and everything and then screw it up somehow. But now that the hurricane is about to plow through America I may end up needing to use it sooner than I thought. So thanks for the video much appreciated.
This is something I have wanted to add to our self sufficient lifestyle for many years💗💗🤗
I do NOT like being negative...
However
This wasteful 10 mins, which in video title, thumbnail text, and tone of voice during presentation, gave every appearance of a thumbs down review of solar cookers. Very very confusing since everything you said was a pro, not a con, and then at the end you finally say you like it even though still using what sounds like a sarcastic irritated tone. I'm actually still not completely sure if you like it. Not only was it confusing, all 10 mins could have been summed up with: of the available types of soar cookers, the _____ fits our needs best. It's robust to the elements, large enough for a turkey, and has successfully cooked everything I want from _____ to _____, Thanks.
10 mins could have been 15 seconds........................................................................... 😒
Great practical video thanks for sharing it was informative and right to the point. God bless 😅
You can make your own gigantic parabolic solar dish reflector cheaply with heavy aluminum foil. You can tape the pieces together or use glue. Coat the back with the Great Stuff insulation foam. It dries stuff.
09:45 the black dog is cute...
And...cannot believe this...but I looked the whole video(I am drunk right now by the way).
Was using search "Gosun boil water" on TH-cam and trying to find something using solar light to boil the water so I can use the water to "KILL" those grass(yea,no cooking or whatever.I only need the boiling-water to kill grass(grass or whatever,Im not an expert of English)).
Anyway,I already decide to use the conventional way(the last part of this video) to build my solar system.And I just want to leave my comment to thanks the uploader for answering my question-in-heart.Really thanks.
So I don’t know since this video was made I think there is been quite a bit more solar ovens. The design does not look complex at all. You can make your own. I have an American Sun oven. You can cook your around all day in it as long as it’s in the sun. So that would be three meals a day. The only inconvenience I have is I would have to cook in my front yard to make breakfast. For now I don’t feel like making breakfast in it anyways so not a big deal.
An open design looks like it might work OK in the summer with max sun, but in the winter I would have my doubts.
Maybe I am wrong... But I doubt it.
My mother, has followed your great advice for years
Now it's ny turn👍
And l have to say, your great!👍
I also follow and so does my mother off grid with Doug and Stacey, there channel is fantastic too.😉😊 God bless you, mom says you had a rough time, of it!😢 Sorry!
But im glad your alright now. God willing! 🙏❤
If you are homesteading and can't figure out how to make a polished aluminum box for yourself, I fear there is no hope for you! Spending $350 for foil and cardboard!!! ?? that makes absolutely no cents.....
Grab a small piece of steel (thicker the better) or even just a frying pan that will transfer heat and then a magnifying glass... I'd like to see someone give it a try, or try it myself. Just setup the magnifying glass in the right spot and amplify the sunlight into a ridiculously hot cooking surface!!!
Thank you. I just ordered 2 from Amazon. Your manufacture's link did not work. We use a crock pot often, so this makes sense.
i wonder if you could just a broken microwave lined with reflective sheets
I wish I would have known about this all season solar cooker before I purchased the one that I got, because of the space in the actual cooking space.
INFOMERCIAL EVERYONE!!!
urban homesreader and wind turbine and solar panels. been looking for a solar cooker and wasn't sure which one. I also use a Wonder Bag Great item . or a Wonder Box. will share this on my fb group Bloom Where Your Planted. would love to win this oven! Happy Day
OK. I'm sold! Been thinking of buying one for a few years now! This will be the year! Well, maybe I will win the drawing! Shared on Facebook!
What's best name brand bags to bake chocolate chip cookies on the go.I can put like a small pan in the bag with aluminum foil, maybe I can leave it in my car to expand the heat ???? And what else could I put in the bag to make the inside of the bag hotter ?????
Do you know about lithium as a thermal energy storage material? Lithium can be a "Phase Change Material" PCM
Plz do a video as to why this product is important. Why homestead living is important in today's world. I know ul do it well because u see the wisdom in living homestead off grid
Now a days who has enough time for wasting? Produce 2Kw of electricity using solar panel set up and run an induction cooktop using this electricity. It would be very fast and convenient than those useless, time wasting 'toy' type solar cooker.
wonder if people successfully canned out of them... have you thought of building a cob oven?
I can't live off of brownies😂
Shared it to my mom's Facebook page Eligia Ferrer and I think it's wonderful my dghtr Mini Soto loves all
1st Thessalonians 5:3 When they say peace and Safety then comes sudden destruction and none shall escape. No running water electricity or cars. You should start watching youtube videos on fish traps and other survival videos.
Nobody wants that tiny plastic thing. I'm building a real solar oven, with stainless steel, and that thing you are promoting is a toy cooker. Thumbs down.
pleasures starry let me win your solar cooker I Will share it one my fb page and some of my cooking fb groups that I am....missy Allen hope I win... If i win contact me fb messenger please and ty love your videos
85 up here at 7220 and within 1 1/2 hour my clear plastic tub of bagel bites were fully done ,, i make stir fry and freeze them , next day dashboard solar
Does it work to preheat a PRESSURE COOKER on a flame then put it in a solar oven?
Thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind, I live in Long island, i don't know if we're sunny enough for cooking
WELL YOUR JUST A WOMAN....
LOL
THIS IS THE BEST DEAL FOR OFF GRID LIVONG AS I DO...
IT'S JUST ME... SO I'D OBVIOUSLY NOT NEED A LARGE SLEEVE FULL OF FOOD AND WHEN MY NEIGHBOR JOINS ME THIS IS STILL PERFECTLY ...
I just bought one, and want to dehydrate mushrooms and other veggies. In this video the mushrooms are just piled in. Do they dry that way?
Really awful video. All I wanted to know was the temperature reached inside the black pan. Can it boil water? Can it bake and brown bread?
Bummer missed the contest...but obviously it doesn't cook at night...so any suggestions cookin off grid at night.?.i mean if theres nothin but fire at night then plannin ahead sounds like a must..but not hard to do
Know that the Go Sun cooks 4 times faster which means 4 times bigger. It needs less sun and is a more advanced technology over other solar cookers. You might want to use one before you are so quick to compare. Really it’s a great overall solar cooker for a homesteader!
Very cool. Hope you have a fantastic time at the conference. :)
Solar cookers would have a challenge here in the PNW. Sunshine........Ha, ha, ha.
10 min just to tell that the solar panel is the best one? Hum... I am sorry you didn't have luck in the love in your life. Really sorry.
6:55 - 6:57 Am I the only one who heard a Ghost speaking (EVP) between 6:55 - 6:57 "Hello or Help or Get out" .
solar oven are much more suitable for tropical and arid climates. i really want one because it's screaming hot in here,plus i have no oven. maybe i could ,at least, enjoy a bit of baking cookies or something haha
I shared to Facebook. Thank you for giving us a chance to win one who can't make it to your classes. :) God bless you and yours.
We just baked bread in our today, and it browned too. Awesome it's not as good as a conventional oven, but it a great back up, and a way to save on electricity. That alone is worth it.
Very affordable on amazon.com $99 plus free shipping. Hope I win one but at least I know where to buy it if I don't. I want one awesome.
Do you need a trivet, it looks like you don't have it on a trivet. On Amazon it seems to instruct.. that you put your pan inside a glass bowl. you don't have your in a glass bowl. So what's the real story on what else you need to cook in this
Share to Facebook! I wanted to come to the conference so badly, but I'm not going to be able to make it. Such a shame since we're so close! We live just over the Alabama line, so it's only like 3 hours away. Darn! Hope y'all have a great time!!
Trying to look like a hippy but she's not really an off gridder. If she was, those solar panels leaned against the wall behind her would have been put in a much better position.
Very biased - your can't honestly compare solar cookers if you only have one type of solar cookers 👎👎👎
