This is designed to be made locally in third world cities with simple basic hand tools. Materials for construction can be substituted . Cooking temp is 250F on cool sunny days- cake takes 1.5 hr to bake --variables in sun and amount of food affect cooking time a bit.

Looks very durable. Is this designed to be locally manufactured? What temperature did the oven reach? How long did it take to cook the cake?
