  • As much as the oven is functioning, that roast looks like a fail.

  • Actually the roast was cooked and tender but the lighting was off making it look pinker than it actually was.

  • I successfully cooked a 3" thick chuck roast using the methods and instructions from this video and it turned out great. I let it sit in there for about 5 hours and I waited for about an hour until the temp got up to speed. Thanks!

    (and sorry for my comment earlier. That was just plain mean)

  • As long as you know it will take a while, it is worth it. I found the times aren't much different than a regular slow cooker or crock pot. Just pray the sun stays out!

  • Good stuff, glad to see some food actually cooked, how did it taste ?. and was the bag important,to the process and if so, what is it made of, ?. couldn`t be plastic.

  • The food tasted excellent. We used a regular Reynolds oven bag and we only used it to help with clean-up - they are not necessary. We weren't sure how much splattering there would be and didn't want to trash the oven first time around.

  • how hot do you think it gets in there ? really good idea man 5 stars

  • NO! black is more efficient absorbing lights, if it were alum foil, it will just reflect the lights back away from the oven. SO what you really want is something shiny to reflect the sunlight into something dark so it can store the sunlight

  • hi, came to me while was studying watching this that is would be better if boxes inside had aluminum foil coating instead of that black thing

  • Nice job, I'm gonna be building one of these this weekend hopefully. One tip: I suggest NOT cooking in plastic bags. Don't want that stuff leeching in your food. Most of those bags release BPA, even the ones that are supposedly "safe" for food use.

  • I invite you to come see my little animated video. It's made with a can of Pepsi ... You be the judge. Thank you for your visit.

  • I really appreciate your video! Nice to see the time lapse results like that. I have a solar oven on my list of things to accomplish this summer. My Dad made one and mounted it on the base of an old swivel rocker. So he can turn and tilt it to the sun really easily. But I really like your box with the aluminum casing. Thanks again.
