When the electricity fails, one of the first inconveniences noticed is that you can’t go over to your electric stove, toaster, toaster oven or microwave to prepare food to eat.  If you have a gas range, you will be able to cook as long as the gas company can keep the gas flowing to your house. 

One easy solution to this problem is the solar cooker.  Solar cookers focus the sun’s rays onto a cooking chamber.  The fuel is inexhaustible as long as the sun is shining. 

We carry two different solar cookers.  We have an inexpensive portable unit that cooks up to 300 degrees F.  Our other unit, the Global sun Oven is used in over 126 countries around the world.  This solar oven cooks at a higher temperature of 360 degrees F.    Besides cooking your meal, the solar cooker can melt snow to use for drinking water.

Whichever one you choose, having a solar cooker in your emergency preparedness supplies is a great idea.  Many people enjoy using it even when electricity is available.
