SOS Sport Solar Oven

I did it! I can't believe I did it! It took me months to finally buy the thing but I now own a solar oven. I haven't used it yet because the sun hasn't come out. I am dying to try it and will be able to if the clouds would just leave, for one day, and it has to be a day I am at home.

It was hard to decide which oven to get. It was a pretty close tie between this and the Global Sun Oven. However, America's Test Kitchen did a segment for some morning show and they compared the two along with one other. The Sport one so I made my decision and finally got the thing.

The SOS Sport Oven is made from recycled soda bottles. Somehow each purchase that is made contributes to funding that sends the solar ovens to Africa. So, not only do you get to be involved in a recycling process but also a humanitarian one as well.

There is an optional reflectors but I shouldn't need it come the summer time.

The option I chose in buying mine came with the pots.

A temperature gauge.

And a water pasteurization indicator.

When the clouds go away I will stop staring at it and finally get to use it and see just how tasty the food from it can be.
