In cloudy days, baking a muffin tray will take about 2 hours. The inventors said that the best temperature to cook with this photovoltaic furnace is from 93 to 288 ° C. The kitchen also includes a sliding tray with a heat-resistant handle, allowing people to cook or remove food at any time.

Besides the tubular design, the really outstanding feature of GoSun is its portability . Kitchen 20cm long, 5cm high and 13cm wide, 1.5kg weight, can be easily stuffed into backpacks or bags.
