This week, we are testing out our new SOS Sport Solar Oven. Check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 in our Blog series, where we give you all the details about how this oven works.
Today, we decided to hear from you, our readers, about the things you do with the SOS Sport Solar Oven.

"I've been using it all summer and love it. I've cooked meat (to-die-for pot roast); beer bread; vegetables; fish; shrimp, chocolate cake, and ribs. After eating a "solar" dinner my visiting sister-in-law asked my brother .."are we going to get one of these?". He responded.. "are you kidding? We're going to get it just to cook CORN!" You cannot imagine how good corn on the cob tastes coming out of this oven!"
Lynn says:
"I have the sport and LOVE it. I think of it as a crockpot--anything you would make in a crockpot you can make in the sport, but it's much better to stick to recipes with less liquid unless it's a super sunny day and you're around to re-aim every couple hours. I have made cakes, meats, veggies, baked potatoes, casseroles. If you tilt the oven for winter use (and it absolutely works even in freezing temps), the pots no longer fit, though. I've never found graniteware in a size that works, but have a friend who used black grill paint on wide-mouth mason jars and lids with success."
What are somethings you have learned while using a Solar Oven? Will the SOS Sport be on your shopping list for the upcoming Holiday Season?

I paint my wide mouth mason jars with flat black spray paint, about $1 a can at the big box discount store. Just make sure the can says "Non-toxic when dry." You cannot wash the painted jars in the dishwasher; you must hand-wash them.
