Prepare for an Emergency by Harnessing the Power of the Sun

Being prepared can reduce fear, anxiety and losses that come with disasters. Government and religious leaders have advised people to prepare themselves and their homes for a time of crisis. Whether it is a natural disaster, such as an earthquake or hurricane, or a manmade disaster, such as a terrorist attack or fire, prudent families are preparing for disasters that could strike unexpectedly.

How much fuel can you store?

In an effort to prepare for the unexpected, many families have set aside food but struggle with the issue of how to safely store enough fuel and rotate it to keep it fresh. Guides are available on how much food you need to keep on hand to provide for your family in the event of an emergency, but do you feel comfortable with the amount of fuel you have on hand and how to store it? Using a SUN OVEN® on the days when the sun shines decreases the amount of fuel which must be stored.

SUN OVENS® can be used year round on sunny days. Even though it is called an oven, food can be baked, boiled and steamed in a SUN OVEN®--so other than fried foods, anything normally cooked on a stovetop or in an oven can be cooked in a SUN OVEN®.

A Preparedness Item That Pays for Itself

Buying what you need to be prepared can put a strain on a family’s budget. Many preparedness-minded families have found that their SUN OVEN® quickly pays for itself by reducing their utility bills and the cost of restaurant meals. Many people do not cook or bake on hot days for fear of heating up the house. A SUN OVEN® enables cooking on hot summer days by keeping the heat from cooking outside.

Does Much More than Cook

In addition to cooking, a SUN OVEN® can also be used in a variety of other ways including: • Boil or pasteurize water • Make Sun tea • Naturally dehydrate fruits, vegetables, and meats • Heat water for a sponge bath • Kill infestations in grains or dried foods, • Sanitize dishes • Dry firewood • Sprout foods • Decrystallize honey or jams
