GOSUN Sport Solar Oven | Fastest Portable Camping Stove| Compact Camping Cookware and Survival Gear | Outdoor Oven & Solar Powered Camping Grill | Off-Grid Solar Oven for Hiking & Camping

I wanted to wait until I tried cooking a bunch of things before I reviewed this and I've been thoroughly impressed with this solar stove. So far I've cooked up frozen chicken tenders, cut up potatoes with sliced smoked sausage, hot dogs, croissant rolls, and even hard "boiled" eggs (you just place the eggs in the pan and let them bake in the cooker- they won't burst) and chicken drumsticks.. and everything has come out great. I think I'll be looking to pick up another one so that I can cook meat in one and the sides in the other. 2 servings is what you can expect with this version.What's neat is that you can turn the unit away from the sun, or close up the reflectors and the food will continue to cook and stay hot for a LONG time. Cleaning it isn't that much of a chore- they include an attachment that you can screw on to the tray and then use the tray to reach inside the tube to clean. The tray is easy to clean in the sink if you have a double sink. I use an small amount PAM when I cook with it so nothing sticks.

So much fun cooking and everything tastes better. Liked it so much I got another one on the way. Chicken really cooks good. Just drain the juices as they cook to crisp them up.

Wow, this thing is fun! I’m very happy with it. The kids go nuts for anything that comes out of it. We’ve made, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, blueberry muffins, corn muffins (can hold 85% a box of Jiffy brand muffin mix), steak (in strips), hot dogs (fits 8-12), shredded baked potatoes, and tin-foil dinners without the foil (ground beef, potato, carrots, onions, seasonings), and probably a few other items I’m forgetting.This thing + hot dogs at the beach = a great, easy lunch! The baked items listed above of course aren’t muffin or cookie shaped, but log shaped. Still tastes the same.A couple things to remember.–Cooking times vary. I cooked some lunch in it, but the clouds came and it wasn’t ready when we were ready to eat, so we closed the reflectors and let it simmer until dinner time! I opened the reflectors again under a 100% overcast sky, and the remaining heat, and whatever heat that made it through the clouds provided a HOT dinner, no problem.–Don’t forget about what you’re cooking! I tried frying some bacon one morning under direct sun. I got distracted and went out to find out that I had INCINERATED that bacon. It was the WORST SMELL I’ve ever encountered. Even opening the door to the house for a second let enough of that smoke in the house that it smelled unbearably bad all day! Pay attention! Set timers! Set frequent timers so you can check on your food often.It’s good for fun, and a day at the beach, but this thing would sure come in handy during a natural disaster or other emergency.I wish it were bigger. They’re making a bigger solar oven/grill soon, but it’s $$$$$. For a meal like tin foil dinners, it makes enough to feed two barely peckish adults. For a side dish type food I suppose you could feed a family, just that one item, but not a whole meal.

The media could not be loaded. Works great aside from having to tighten leg supports with an allen key whenever I adjust angle of solar cooker. Cooks most things, bread, meat, potatoes, hardboiled eggs, veggies. I use the webake silicone hot dog bun molds cut to size so I have less of a mess to clean.

So narrow, only specific foods can fit into it. If you have a fire and a roll of foil, you can get the same thing without all the cleanup.Unsure what the bristle at the end of the tube is for, unless it’s to clean the tube. But then, you’ve got to clean the pad.Definitely NOT a time-saver and certainly not convenient.If you want to impress company with a newfangled design, there you go.

The solar cooker worked well enough but has poor customer support.(+) one of the most efficient heating designs using parabola shaped reflectors to hear food in the tube tray at the fastest rate.(-) Awkward design that requires more food prep & cooking relatively smaller amounts of food at a time. If you want to cook food for more than 2 servings at a time, don’t use this model.Lack of customer support from Gosun is the worst. I accidentally broke the solar tube by adding water to the tube when it was still hot, making the inner heating tube explode. That’s on me, though I would appreciate if they made this warning more obvious like putting it as a separate warning paper in the packaging, especially since I read the whole manual and guides before using this product.As this was after the 1 yr warranty period, I looked if I could buy a replacement tube on Gosuns website. There was a replacement tube but it was sold out, so I signed up to receive a notice for when it would be available again. Months passed by, no notice. I directly emailed Gosun & was told they would get back to me. No response. More than a year has passed of me repeating this song and dance. After searching the website, I see they finally no longer offer the Gosun sport replacement tube for sale at all, and only have the Gosun go tube replacement. Now there’s no way for me to directly get the tube from Gosun. As the rest of the cooker setup is perfectly fine except for the tube, I don’t want to have to buy a whole new setup and throw away perfectly good parts.I find the lack of customer support is especially problematic for such a popular brand and solar gear company, especially since the company seems to be expanding its store and offerings, leaving their customers disappointed.
