The solar cooker has been re-invented.
Suntaste: fantastic oven, unique case.
> THE BEST NATURE CAN GIVE
SO EASY
It's autonomous and you don't need to attend to it because it never burns
the food. No fuel, no ashes, no smoke, no stirring and no scorching are all part of the appeal.
SO TASTY
Slow cooking, taking
up to twice as long as traditional cooking methods, results in tastier, juicier and more nutritive food.
SO RELIABLE
A simple design and first-class materials from the world’s leading manufacturers all contribute for a long and trouble-free life.
ALL YEAR ROUND
Both advanced optics and effective insulation allow for cooking with negative temperatures and no need for refocus. All you need is clear sky.

> HOW IT WORKS
OUTSIDE
The Suntaste
recurs to the so called "non-imaging optics“, first used in an oven in our
later model, the Sun Cook. It works as a greenhouse, capturing the sun's rays
through the glass lid. In addition, solar radiation is also reflected by the
external flat mirror into the cooking compartment, doubling the input of
energy. The rectangular footprint reduces the need for reorientation, when compared
with more squared shapes.
INSIDE
Inside the cooking compartment, mirrored walls act as compound-parabolic concentrators (CPC), greatly reducing the need for regular re-orientation. These concentrate all incoming solar radiation to the bottom absorbing plate, which in turn radiates heat allowing for a very homogeneous temperature to be attained. The cooking compartment's insulation and the double glass cover minimize thermal losses and may keep food warm for some hours even after sunset. Ideal for late dinners then.

> WHAT CAN IT COOK
Nearly everything. The Suntaste can be used outdoors
for:
·
Cooking all sorts of dishes (except frying), while keeping
the food tasty and moist;
·
Dehydrating food, by keeping the door slightly open and
the lid facing the Sun to generate heat but allowing air circulation.
Here are some examples:
> Vegetable soup (120 min);
> Pork chops (20-30 min);
> Grilled fish (30-45 min);
> Curry chicken (90-120 min);
> Bean stew (2 hours);
> Walnut cake (60-75 min);
> Manioc puree;
> Bread, soup, pasta, yogurts, jams and many, many more.
While indoors, it’s also very useful
for:
·
Working as a retained heat oven, completing the cooking
process initiated in another oven, operating like a hay cooker and saving energy in the process;
·
Making yoghurt by taking advantage of its excellent
insulation and keeping both lid and door closed.

> ABOUT CORK
Cork
is the bark of the cork oak. It is a 100% natural plant tissue with attributes
that no technology has yet managed to emulate, match or exceed (read more here).
It
is extracted without harming the tree nor the Environment and is fully
recyclable and among its outstanding properties, the following are very
suitable for our solar cookers:
• Excellent
thermal insulator (absorbs and retains heat)
• Lightweight
(50% of its volume is air)
• Impermeable
to liquids and gases
• Elastic and
compressible (it adapts to pressure and temperature, and regains its shape even
after significant deformations)
• Slow burning
(it’s a fire retardant and doesn’t emit toxic gases)
• Anti-static
and anti-allergic (prevents the appearance of parasites and bacteria)
In
addition, cork and its agglomerates have a very significant environmental
impact:
• Trees absorb
CO2 from the atmosphere while growing their bark so our products not only avoid
the emission of this gas but they result from CO2 sequestration.
• Consumption of cork
contributes to the economy of the “Montado” a unique Mediterranean bio system and one of the 35 global biodiversity
sanctuaries (read more here).
