| Editor's Comments
|
*** This unit can also be used as a water sterilize. An included simple device indicates when water in the solar pot has reached a high enough temperature.
Solar oven usage frequently requires training. Without it, the ovens will often go unused, as traditional cooking practices/times may be attempted and do not apply, thus the solar oven can be thought to be ineffective unless practice and orientation are offered. |

| Why |
United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that more than 2.4 billion people lack adequate cooking fuels. In developing countries, many people spend as much money on fuel to cook their food as they spend on buying food. Others spend over 40 hours a-week gathering scarce firewood. Total regions have been stripped of trees. Solar cooking has been researched and tested for the past twenty-five years. The SOS Sport is one of the best, low cost solar ovens to come out of this era of research and development. |
