Welcome, to all who have come searching for "enlightenment" on the subject of Solar Cooking.

  
On this site we will shed some "sunlight"on a relatively new subject; the art of cooking your everyday food with the power of the Sun.

Admittedly the science of solar cooking is not that new, since it was first attempted on a controlled scale in the mid 1700s by French-Swiss scientist Horace de Saussure. These attempts were first reported in the first-published study of solar cooking in 1767.

Since that time though, relatively little has been accomplished in the field of solar cooking as far as feasibility and practicality on a large scale.

That is, little has been done until just recently...as recently as in the last twenty years.

Much has been learned and applied in the field of Solar Cooking in these past couple of decades.

   *Much advancement has been made in the areas of commercially produced; quality, economical and practical solar cookers and solar ovens.
Great strides have been achieved also in the area of distribution of solar cookers world wide; for those who most need an alternative method of cooking to replace or supplement the need for scarce solid fuels necessary for cooking. **Worlds largest Solar Kitchen in India.

Nathan,
I spent at least 1/2 hour or more looking around your website
the day I ordered my cooker. I loved the website and I particularly remember the instructions about the building a hay-box. I'm a happy camper with the way you do business and you can bet if anybody asks; I'll be recommending you as a source of solar cookers and ideas about solar cooking.
Well be in touch.
Your very satisfied customer,
Dave LaPlant--California
