Solar Cooking is fun
Why spend time cooking inside when it’s sunny outside? Preparing food

Why not organize a solar club in your area, the children absolutely loved building the solar oven on the left. Any excuse to get mucky I guess.

Every time you cook food using electricity, natural gas, propane or wood, you release polluting greenhouse gasses into atmosphere.
