Villager Sun Oven

From Solar Cooking

Sun Ovens International makes a large solar oven called the Villager Sun Oven, which is designed for large-scale feeding situations requiring cooking great volumes of food. Even though it is called an oven, food can be baked, boiled, and steamed at cooking temperatures of 500° F / 260° C with no fuel costs. Over 1,200 meals a day can be cooked. For use at night or on rainy days, the Villager is equipped with a propane back-up unit. This oven weighs 980 pounds / 444b kg. and comes mounted on a trailer.

Villager Sun Ovens are currently in use in 40 countries around the world. The primary use is in large scale feeding or in bakeries. An optional 150 piece Sun-Bakery package, enabling the creation of a self-sustaining micro-enterprise to turn out fresh baked goods while creating jobs and eliminating the cost of fuel, is available. In some schools use a VILLAGER to cook lunches and than bake bread in the afternoon. The bread is sold to help generate income.

The VILLAGERS are made in the U.S. and shipped to the country in which they will be used.

Each VILLAGER SUN OVEN® when utilized as a Sun Bakery can save over 150 tons of wood annually which results in the reduction of 277 tons of CO2 green house gas emissions annually.
