History of the Sun Oven
Tom Burns, a retired
restaurateur from Milwaukee Wisconsin, and active with Rotary International,
developed Sun Ovens in 1986. From his international travel Tom became aware of
the ever-growing problem of deforestation and took a concept that has been
around for centuries and produced one of the world’s most effective solar
cooking devices. The oven was refined with the help of Sandia National
Laboratories.
From 1986 to 1997 Sun
Ovens were made and marketed by Burns Milwaukee, Inc. Thousands of portable
models have been shipped to more than 126 countries around the globe. Sun Ovens
helped feed refugees in relocation camps, third world villages, workers at field
sites, climbers on the slopes of Mount Everest and soldiers during the Persian
Gulf War.
In 1998 Sun Ovens
International Inc. was formed and the manufacturing was moved from Milwaukee to
Elburn, IL (40 miles west of Chicago). Sun Ovens International Inc. has
expanded the use of the ovens by making them more widely available in the U.S.
and around the world. Assembly plants for Sun Ovens have been established in a
number of developing countries to reduce the cost of the ovens and shipping.
Environment
Cooking
in a SUN OVEN® is easy, fun, natural and nutritious, while helping the
environment. Cook food without wood, electricity, gas or propane fuel by
capturing the sun’s supply of free energy.
Preparing food outside in your backyard or in nature is fun and relaxing.
Preparing food with renewable solar energy is doubly so, as you get the
satisfaction of doing no harm to the environment while you cook healthy food
with free solar energy.
Cooking with SUN OVEN ®
The SUN
OVEN® will reach temperatures of 360 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooking
temperatures vary depending on the brightness of the sun and how often the oven
is refocused to follow the sun.
Even
though called an oven, food can be baked, boiled and steamed. There is no
movement of air in a SUN OVEN®, allowing food to stay moist and tender and
flavourful. Sun-baked roasts are tastier and more succulent, and sun-baked bread
has unparalleled taste and texture. The aroma of food sunning itself in a SUN
OVEN® is sure to please your senses.
Temperatures in a SUN OVEN® rise slowly and evenly, allowing complex
carbohydrates time to break down into simple sugars, emanating subtle natural
flavours. The even temperature of the SUN OVEN® prevents burning, so you do not
need to stir your food while it is cooking.
SUN
OVENS® are ideal for everyday use in your garden or patio, at picnics, while
camping or in the event of a power failure.
There are two ways to cook in a SUN OVEN®. If you refocus the oven to follow the
sun every 25 to 30 minutes, cooking times and methods will be very similar to
cooking with a conventional stove or oven.
A SUN
OVEN® can also be used for slow cooking, much like a crock-pot. You can prepare
your dinner, put it in the SUN OVEN®, point the oven where the sun will be
approximately halfway through the time you will be gone. Leave, and come home to
a tasty, slow-cooked dinner. If you run late, there is no need to worry. The SUN
OVEN® will keep your food warm, moist and fresh for hours.
