The Himin Solar Oven uses the Evacuated Tube design for a high quality and very effective solar cooking apparatus. The evacuated tube style solar cookers are somewhat new on the market and in the solar cooking world, though they have been used for solar cooking by tinkerers and inventors for a few short years they have not been largely available to the commercial market until now. The older style box (ovens) cookers, panel cookers and parabolic cookers have been around for much longer, some as long as fifty years, but now there is a new and very effective method of solar cooking in the form of the compact and very fast evacuated tube solar cookers. The Himin Solar oven is not only a nice looking solar cooker, but it is made of the highest quality materials and workmanship It's easy to load and unload these solar cookers using a sliding tray/basket to place your food inside. With the Himin Solar Oven Evacuated Tube style cooker you can cook almost any kind of food you desire, including: Chicken Roasts (beef or pork) Breads-rolls and cakes Soups Vegetables Pastas
and more The Himin Solar Oven Evacuated Tube is: Highly transportable Compact Mid-weight Easy to set up Easy to load Cooks at high and fast temperatures Retains heat well due to evacuated glass tubes This particular brand of cooker is also larger than many similar tube solar cookers on the market and will allow for larger amounts of food to be cooked than can be done so in similar evacuated tube designs.
Pros and cons of the Evacuated Tube Solar Cookers: Pros: Hotter temps overall due to the vacuum glass tube's ability to insulate. (This is the reason these same tubes are used for solar water heating applications. This type of cooker could be called the "microwave" of the solar cooker world due to its faster overall cooking times. More compact, takes up less space than some of the traditional solar cookers. Has a protective casing in the form of the fold-up reflector panels that protect the glass tube as well as the reflective surface of the panels. Can attain and hold effective cooking temperatures a little better than many solar cookers on less than ideal sunny days, such as high thin cloud conditions etc. These particular models from Himin have a larger cooking interior and can hold more food than other similar styles evacuated tube solar cookers. High quality, durable materials. (The glass is similar to Pyrex in strength and durability) Cons: Not quite as much volume (space) for food as some box style solar cookers Glass is durable, but it is not completely break proof, one has to take care to not abuse the cooker. A little more costly than some solar cookers, but not unreasonable These do well in breezes, but if the wind gets too strong precaution should be taken to stabilize the cooker to avoid tipping the cooker.
