News and Recent Developments

  • August 2011, 2011. After several years of having the pleasure of testing out a whole range of solar oven designs, Sun Cooking Australia has launched their online online store of solar ovens, solar kettles solar cooking accessories, recipies and more. It's the largest range in Australia and we're always expanding and looking for ways to work with the solar cooking community. Website is www.SunCooking.com.au or you can contact [mailto: info@suncooking.com.au Heather Stevens]
  • September 20, 2008: Alice Springs, located in central Australia, will host its second annual Solar Oven Bakeoff on September 20, 2008, as part of the Alice Desert Festival at the Olive Pink Botanic Garden. All are welcome to join in the fun and compete for the Green Spoon Trophy. Oven design and use of local bush foods are two of the award categories. Last year’s recipes included an Australian Quandong dish and a cacciatore. Respected food writer and cook Stephanie Alexander is among the judges. Alice Springs has on average 300 sunny days per year, and recently became one of five communities participating in the government’s Solar Cities program. For more information, contact Kat Taylor.

Climate, Culture, and Special Considerations

The average Australian home produces 500 kilograms of greenhouse gases a year through cooking, says the federal environment department. That is less than lighting (750 kilograms), and heating and cooling (1.5 tonnes), but it is still a fair old weight.
