Welcome to my blog!!
Over the next couple of months I will be building and testing some solar ovens at home.
"What on earth is a solar oven?" I hear you asking. Simply, it is a contraption that allows you to cook outside, harnessing the suns heat. It traps the suns rays, heating the oven up and cooking the food inside. Or that's the theory anyway.. As far as I'm aware they are not in use over here in Australia. My mission is to find out whether they could/should be. As i'm a poor, destitute student, i can't really invest a few hundred US dollars in buying an oven to use. Instead, I am going to build a few on my own out of cardboard and aluminium foil and test just how effective they are. Why am I doing this? It's for a project at uni. I'm a design student trying to make the country more sustainable in its food practices (currently anyway).
Stay tuned for more..
