Gem State Solar :

The GLOBAL SUN OVEN® has been devised to meet up to 70% of the needs of a family of 6 to 8 people, entirely with the power of the sun. Even though it is called an oven, food can be boiled, steamed, roasted or baked at cooking temperatures of 360° F / 182° C, making it ideal for cooking the majority of your foods. This ruggedly built solar appliance weighs only 21 pounds / 9.5 kg and will last more than 20 years.

GLOBAL SUN OVENS® are not the same as other solar cooking devices. They have a number of unique qualities and features that are not in other solar cooking devices. They are often compared with box cookers that are made out of aluminum foil and cardboard or homemade boxes of various sizes and shapes. While the energy conversion principles are the same, the materials utilized in manufacturing a GLOBAL SUN OVEN® have been carefully researched to include the most efficient materials available. In order to capture the maximum amount of energy, achieve the highest possible temperature, and retain the greatest amount of heat possible, while minimizing the weight, the materials utilized have been selected based on efficiency and quality. Other than cleaning, no other ongoing maintenance is required.

Due to their long life, their ability to be used when there is less sun and the fact that food can be cooked faster, the GLOBAL SUN OVEN® are less expensive on a cost per meal basis than any other solar cooking device. The high quality materials that are required to make a GLOBAL SUN OVEN® make its initial cost higher but its overall cost lower than any other solar cooking device.

Cooking in a SUN OVEN® is easy, fun, natural, and nutritious, while helping the environment. SUN OVENS® are ideal for everyday use in your back yard, at picnics, while camping, or floating down the river, or use the SUN OVEN® in the event of a power failure.

Many Americans are becoming increasingly aware of the need to take responsibility for the greenhouse gas emissions we create. Carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels like oil, coal, and gas can be harmful to the environment. Using a SUN OVEN® can be an important step on the path towards your family becoming "carbon neutral".

Reducing your carbon footprint can be fun when you turn your own back yard into a gourmet kitchen with a SUN OVEN®. You will be amazed at how the sun can transform ordinary foods into mouth-watering delights while curtailing your consumption of fossil fuels. Using a SUN OVEN® sends an important message to your friends and neighbors that you care about the environment.

The energy you waste when cooking indoors is more than what's burned on your stovetop or in your oven. In the summer, additional energy is often required to cool down the rest of the house, which can get heated up by cooking in the kitchen. When you use a SUN OVEN® to bake, boil, or steam your food, the heat stays outdoors, saving energy costs while reducing your carbon footprint.
