Manufactured solar cookers can cost in the hundreds of dollars, but you can build one yourself and adjust it to suit your needs for around $35 (or sometimes a little more).
I have read a lot about these ovens and some say the inside should be all black. Some say it should be reflective. One scientific study said either one works.
So that's why I handmade this oven, without any blueprints or instructions to follow. I decided I would do the bottom black to absorb the heat and the sides reflective to reflect the sun's rays around the inside.

My GE microwave from 2005 finally crapped out. At first kzfaq.infoUgkxO_Bc204MGjxDl87cOKcdgaRhzSqGmv_g I was unsure because I was looking for something with the exact same features. Found it with this one. Interior space cavity was large, but the outside was smaller than my old one. I love the one-button push for 1-6 minutes, and the 30 second add or 30 second start. and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I love how you can adjust the power level during cooking. The reviews said it could not be done, but this marked all the other boxes. and happy to say, it does. I can hit 1 minute start, and change the power level from 10 to 5, 30 seconds in, without interruption. my favorite feature!

The problem is you're not displaying the food in the oven, you're cooking in it. With normal display and "food handling" the plexiglass is not heating up. Save yourself the potential toxins and use real glass instead! That said I love the way this was put together, very straightforward. I'd love to see a demo of how it works.
