Some major advantages and benefits of solar cooking.

-First of all you may have realized that the energy from the sun is free.
-Second it uses none of our limited natural resources that are currently being used for other energy applications in our modern world... It is good for our environment.
-Third it can be a more healthy way of preparing our foods for consumption as opposed to gas, smoky open fire, microwave etc. because it uses the natural power of the sun's energy.
-And, best of all, it preserves more of the natural nutrients of the foods by cooking at slower and lower temperatures.

-Since solar ovens are used outdoors, unwanted heat will not cause temperature rises indoors as with conventional stoves, saving even more energy.
-It can also be a very enjoyable hobby or pastime, especially for those who love to cook.
