Question

Are there any techniques to cooking food camping in the wild by harnessing the sun's energy (rays)?

We have all heard of solar panels being used to generate electricity, but are there any techniques that we can use to cook food while camping and thus avoiding the use of a fire to cook with?

Answer 1

Certainly, what you are looking for is a backpacking solar stove.

Here are some examples.

SunFlair Solar Oven

SOLTAC's CookSack

Or if you really wanted to, you could attempt to build one yourself.
