Solar Cooking and Plans for Building
Your Own
Oven/Cooker
|
Imagine having a functional, off the grid kitchen and using a solar oven
for effortless cooking. Plus using the sun to make plenty of hot water,
to dry and preserve foods naturally, and practical, easy solar methods
for making safe, drinkable water.
And solar box ovens can be used to pasteurize milk, and sanitize
dishes, utensils, cookware and much more. The books here will show you
the many old ideas which are newly rediscovered for people planning
sustainable and energy conscious living. Canning fruits and vegetables in a solar box cooker is
easy!
Did you know you can pasteurize water in about 4 hours in a solar
cooker, or 25 minutes in a solar reflective cooker? Make safer drinking
water in an emergency. (Sunlight kills many bacteria, but won't remove
chemicals or crypto- solar distillation alone will do that.)
Build a Solar Wall Oven
Barbara Kerr didn't begin solar cooking until she was 50, and now at 79 is an expert and inventor for solar methods. She patented her unique solar wall oven design, and continues to teach solar and low-fuel methods (Rocket stove cooking ala' Dr. Larry Winiarski's design) to this day in Snowflake AZ.
This small booklet is a step by step on how to build and use a permanent (plywood or wood) solar box cooker that can be mounted through a wall in a kitchen, barn, shed, even bathroom or hallway to make hot water, sterilize baby clothing, and cleaning cloths (dairy and animal) warm chicks, seedlings, and of course to COOK. Prepare everything from cassaroles, desserts, meat, fish, and fowl, to sanitizing water for safe drinking (and heating it for coffee and tea).
Barbara built her solar oven through her kitchen wall which allows effortless solar cooking, no burning, and no fuel needed.
These solar box ovens can be pre made and used on site while building a house at a remote location, and used to cook meals, warm foods, and heat water for washing up for workers, then installed into the kitchen.
Any south facing wall- for the northern hemisphere :) --can be utilized- even in travel trailers and mobile homes. Or cook ovens can be left outside mounted on a rotating table to track the sun for optimum efficiency.
5"x7" booklet teaches how to make and use. Published 1999.

Earth Ovens...
Here's an idea for people in climates where the clouds come over, and
change your solar cooking plans. An earth oven is an outdoor 'retained
heat' oven. Start a small fire in the morning, place bread loaves and
meals inside at noon, and enjoy a delicious dinner at night. And, on
sunny mornings,use a solar box cooker to start cooking, and then transfer
pots to your earth oven and you can have fully cooked meals, delicious
in flavor, with no burning or watching over pots. Also great for
vegetarian and 'many-bean' recipes.
New Edition, expanded to 100 pages, color
photos! Building Your Earth Oven by Kiko Denzer.
Learn how easy and practical an outdoor baking oven is to build and use.
The design is a two layer retained heat oven, and can be built with
onsite materials such as earth and sand, and uses a brick base-floor, or
even an earthen floor. These ovens burn a small amount of wood, get very
hot, and allow you to bake breads and meals slowly after the coals have
been raked out.
Kiko sculpts his ovens with wonderful animal and nature
shapes. Imagine a huge Phoenix bird , its belly the
oven, the flue its throat, with smoke escaping from the upturned beak!
Children can help build these ovens, and play with earth at the same
time. Complete instructions, 100 pages, 8.5x7, line drawings, and
wonderful COLOR oven photographs of frog, squirrel, and Phoenix bird
oven-bench, plus B&W of a snail and other fanciful ovens. #1003...
