The SUNplicity solar oven

» While the solar oven cooks peacefully in a corner of the garden without anyone paying attention, children play, adults relax in the clean, smoke-free air, while trees grow and nature rejoices. Life is easy with SUNplicity and the food especially delicious.

the advantages

The advantages of the SUNplicity Solar Cooker :

check_circle The setting up/folding down only takes 1minute, no tools necessary.
check_circle When folded, it is held in a very compact casing - Lightweight and portable.
check_circle Optimum lightness for easy transport.
check_circle Large focus acceptance area.
check_circle A unique aiming solar target.
check_circle A magnet for the up/down setting, allowing easy tilting of the mirror while staying in the shade.
check_circle Secured against wind, burns, eye injury, and fires.
check_circle Complete cooking area, without sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Cooking with the SUNplicity enhances the flavor of all food and preserves nutriments. Oil and salt can be drastically reduced, or no longer necessary. The cooking takes a bit longer than conventionnal cooking. Add around 15 min. to ½ an hour per hour to your usual cooking time.

SUNplicity allows a wide range of cooking possibilities, from stew, to oven, to barbeque, chicken, fish, sausages, baked potatoes, quiche, veggies, cakes, bread, pie, tea and coffee etc…etc…etc… And remember, this cooking is not only delicious it is also very healthy and does not need as much attention as conventional cooking.

If you forget and leave your cooking unattended, the sun will move and the cooking will stop by itself. (That is if the earth is flat and the sun turns around it, otherwise read «the earth will turn and the cooking will stop»).

The cleaning is simply done with a soft sponge because the cold mirror won’t cook or dry whatever may drip on it. SUNplicity uses only the best materials, healthy, respectful of the environnement and made to last over ten years.
