Like the question. I'm interested myself. I started the process of making a diy with the purchase of a $3 mylar emergency blanket.

I have a friend that has one, but it's not the original sun oven design. Theirs is a solar tube style. It's mostly a novelty thing for them, but it does work well. It can be a bit of a hassle though if one has to go out to a sunny place in the yard to cook, then hustle back to the kitchen for the rest of the meal.

We're spoiled by conveniences. A solar oven could be a godsend in some countries.
