Hi from Jodi and Julie!
Tomorrow night (Tuesday) we are partnering with Paul Munsen from Sun Ovens International to present a FREE class on "13 ways sunlight saves you money while being prepared!". We encourage everyone to sign up for the class even if you don't think you'll be able to attend. Everyone who registers will get a free eBook entitled "Emerging from an Emergency" and will also be sent a replay link after the live class. REGISTER NOW to reserve your spot as spaces are limited.
We wanted everyone to be able to benefit from this class so even if you don't have a Sun Oven or it's not in your budget to get one yet you can still gain value from attending. Follow our simple tutorial on How to Build a Solar Oven using a pizza box and you can start practicing your solar cooking right away!
How to Make a Pizza Box Solar Oven
This is a simple project you can do and is fun to involve children with. You can finish it in less than an hour and be ready to cook or heat some foods. It doesn't get as hot as a store-bought solar oven but it can melt cheese and heat things up so it's a handy little tool to have.
Materials Needed:
– One empty pizza box (the bigger the better)
– Aluminum foil
– Plastic wrap
– Black construction paper
– Scotch tape
– Ruler
– Pencil
– Knife or razor blade
Step 1:
Measure and draw a straight line about 1 1/2 inches from the outside of the box.
Step 2:
Use a knife or razor blade and cut three edges along the drawn line (leave the top edge uncut to act as a hinge)
Step 3:
Cover the inside of the top flap with aluminum foil. Also cover the inside edges of the pizza box with the foil. Tape it all down securely.
Step 4:
Cover the open area of the lid with plastic wrap to help retain heat and keep bugs, dirt, and moisture out. Do two layers of plastic and tape it down very well.
Step 5:
Tape black paper in the middle of the box bottom to absorb the heat from the sun which will be reflecting in.
Step 6:
Prop the lid open with a pencil or ruler and aim the box into direct sunlight to start cooking!
Optional: You can roll up newspaper rolls and stuff them in the sides to add insulation. You can also use a thermometer inside to test your temperatures.
