Globe Aware is cataloguing small-scale "Green" projects for use in the local communities in which we operate. These simple videos, along with other training materials, will be used in coming up with project ideas! A solar oven cooks with the power of the sun and is an easy and inexpensive way to make cooking a lot greener! This video is part of a series prepared by a team featuring our 2009 ExxonMobil Green Team Interns.

  • well? how well does it work? what kind of temps can it reach? how long does it take to reach those temps? how long does it take to get to and sustain 200' in the pot? morning light? afternoon light? evening light? cloudy? more details please!

  • @jib1000 No, your right, nor would they be looking on the internet to find ways to create solar cookers. But I'm sure they would graciously accept a cooker or some materials and instructions on how to build and maintain a cooker. Helping other people is what we are about!

  • you need aluminum not glass all this will do is keep your food warm during camp outs and free from flys

  • Hate to be negative but is this supposed to save the enviroment.. ? Lol who has the time these days to cook with 265/75r14 anyways??

  • I'm not going to knock it before I try it. I happen to have all the materials needed, except maybe the black paint, but I do have some questions like does the board have to be square or just cover the hole? Would it help to paint the board black or would that heat up the ground so much that it might start a fire? I happen to have two tires that need to be used for something, and if need be can get more which is why I asked about 2 earlier.

  • Could 2 or more tires be used?

  • Please, only use non toxic black paint(where to find that???)

  • Dang I'm going to make pot roast I'll start cooking it now so it will ready by sat

  • Toxic.. unless your using a sealed pressure cooker watch out..

  • @MsTruth617 what if it's raining?

  • How much time does it take to cook in this? I'm really curious...

  • That's great for sunny summer days, but for winter it just doesn't work.
