You got the tent, sleeping bags, lanterns, and games for downtime. Basically, you have everything you need to go camping in comfort. Now when it comes to food, carrying around a grill and propane tank might not sound ideal. For a lightweight, simpler options, opt for GoSun’s Go Portable Solar Oven.

Fitting comfortably in your hiking or camping bag, this solar oven only weights 2 pounds. The tube-shaped gadget was designed to boil liquids, such as tea, coffee, dehydrated foods, and for sterilizing water. It can also cook most meals in 20 to 30 minutes, as described on the brand’s website. That ranges from dinners, such as meats and vegetables, to desserts, like cinnamon rolls and brownies. It can cook one to two meals at a time using the power of the sun.

To answer some questions we know are swarming your head: It reaches 550 degree Fahrenheit, holds 13.5 ounces, works under rain, clouds, and snow (basically, if you can see a shadow, it will cook), and no, it won’t work at night.

You can find the GoSun Go Portable Solar Oven on Amazon, where it has an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars from over 330 reviews. It costs $125, but as reviewers have detailed, it’s clever and a quality product, and “every camper and prepper needs one.”

The Sport Fastest Solar Oven comes in at 8 pounds and can accommodate two to three meals at a time, so it’s still a viable option to bring camping or hiking. The Fusion Hybrid Solar Oven weighs 16 pounds and makes four to five meals at a time, making it ideal for tailgating, beach trip, or in your backyard.
