Cooks any kind of food with the power of the sun - no fuel needed. This oven reaches temperatures of 360 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It is as portable as a small suitcase weighing in at 21 pounds. The easily cleanable interior of the cooking chamber measures 14.25" by 14.25" and averages 9.5" deep. Satisfaction Guaranteed. (Returns within 30 days accepted.)

The sun oven is as safe to use as a conventional oven. The exterior surfaces of the oven and the reflectors remain safe to touch while cooking. The glass door and cooking containers do, of course, get hot, so use of hot pads is required when removing food from the hot oven. The interior surfaces of the oven are treated with a non-toxic durable coating.

Convenient and easy. Food stays warm even after the hot part of the day has passed due to the exceptional insulation in the oven. An adjustable tilt leg at the back of the oven's base allows aiming towards the Sun during winter, morning and evening.

Beeswax cream lotion. This natural hand and body lotion is derived from pure beeswax and contains no fixatives or stabilizers.
