The Sport Solar Oven

www.solarovens.org

The Sport has introduced thousands of people to the joy of solar cooking because it is:

large capacity – holds 2 - 3.4 Qt. pots
long-lasting
efficient
highly weather resistant
complete kit: oven, pots, thermometer, manual, recipe booklet,
WAPI (water pasteurization indicator.) (Reflector is optional.)
light weight – 10 pounds
stable (normal winds cause no problems)
low-cost
looks great

To use, simply place the food in the pots provided, place the Sport facing the sun and forget it. The sun does the rest. You don’t have to worry about burned food because the cooking temperatures are mild – it’s sort of a solar crock-pot.

The Sport cooks almost every type of food: bakes/stews all meats, poultry and fish; steams vegetables; bakes breads, cakes and cookies; cooks rice, beans, lentils, and pasta. It is specially designed to maintain steady, moderate (210-260 F) cooking temperatures that produce tender, tasty and healthy foods without burning. The Sport is like a “solar crock pot.” Because no extra water is added, the flavors and vitamins in the food are not leached out or diluted and flavors blend deliciously.

The Sport Solar Oven is produced by the Solar Oven Society, a project of Persons Helping People, a 501 (c)(3) non profit organization:

“Dedicated to improving the lives of people around the world by promoting solar solutions to those who need them most.”

With projects currently in process for countries in Africa, Central America and Haiti, the Solar Oven Society continues to develop projects in partnership with other like-minded organizations to bring the Sport to the women and families in countries that are fuel poor and sun rich. all proceeds from the sale of the Sport in the United States contribute towards third world projects, but these revenues do not begin to cover the cost of these projects. The Sport must be subsidized in third world nations and we need your support to continue this vital work. Please consider joining us as a partner in improving the lives of real people—especially women and children, and give generously.
