This Fourth of July or the next time you go camping, skip the debate over whether charcoal or gas grilling is more eco-friendly and cook with the sun instead. The Solar Sport Oven with Reflector might surprise you with its functionality. It may be more MacGyver than Martha Stewart, but you can cook just about everything including roast meats, steamed veggies, soups and even baked good like breads and cookies (really!). Imagine if you’re out boating for the afternoon and you present fresh baked chocolate chip cookies to your guests.

The Solar Oven is built to concentrate the sun’s energy to cook food in two to four hours. If it’s cool or cloudy, no problem, the extra reflector helps boost the power nature offers on any given day. The oven is made to maintain temperatures around 210-260 degrees. You’ll never achieve microwave speeds, but at least it’s less messy than a campfire.

The oven also comes with two pots, a thermometer so you can gauge your cooking times and effectiveness, a water pasteurization indicator and a recipe book–no one expects you to be a whiz at solar oven cooking without help! You won’t pollute or use any energy for your cooking, plus portions of the kit are made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.
