Solavore Sport Oven cooks by harnessing the energy of the sun

Solar power has become an increasingly popular energy source around the globe — and it can now be utilized to cook entire backcountry meals. The new Solavore Sport Solar Oven is the most efficient design to date, using only the sun to heat food with the capacity to perform in varying weather conditions. 

Unique cookware company Solavore innovated a way to effectively convert light into heat, capture its energy, and use it as an mechanism in the preparation of regular food or gourmet sustenance — provided you’re a gourmet cook. This simple solar alchemy was first discovered by French-Swiss scientist Horace-Bénédict de Saussure in the late 1700s. Solavore company founder Anne Patterson introduced the idea on a commercial scale in 2015. The basic Solavore Sport Solar Oven serves as the first successful model of this solar-powered vision, providing everything you needed to cook a meal outdoors using only the power of the sun.

The Solavore Sport Solar Oven with the TR-86 Reflector is an upgraded version of the original. The kit comes with two 3-quart granite-ware pots with lids, an oven thermometer, water pasteurization indicator, user manual with a plethora of recipes, and the unique updated oven. The Solavore Sport Oven incorporates a recycled nylon plastic housing for increased durability and resistance to the elements, a double-layered lid that provides for enhanced insulation, and a one-inch closed cell foam that repels moisture absorption.

The oven measures 9 1/4 by 17 1/2 inches, and serves equally for baking and cooking purposes.

The product’s newest feature is the detachable reflector that decreases pre-heating times and allows food to reach higher maximum temperatures. The new reflector achieves 86-percent total reflectance, increasing your cooking abilities on days with limited sunlight, at higher latitudes, and in generally colder elements.

The reflector is detachable from the stove and folds flat, making for easy transport. The Solavore Sport Oven with TR-86 Reflector retails for $287 on the company’s website, and shipping is free.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that a ton of early Black Friday deals have dropped. There are the usual suspects like laptops, electronics, gaming gear, and beyond. But me, I prefer to pick up unusual items during the huge holiday sales. You know exactly what I mean, the kind of stuff that doesn't usually go on sale any other time. One of those items is a portable generator. Where I live it seems like they rarely go on sale, and when you need them most they're never in stock. People flock to the stores to buy them just before a big storm. Well, right now, Pulsar and Walmart have an incredible deal on a 12,000-watt dual-fuel generator. Normally $900 it's down to $749 which saves you $151. It can run for up to 12 hours on an 8-gallon fuel tank.
