Instructions for use
Pre-heating
Before starting to cook its advisable to let the Suntaste pre-heat. In order to do so,
leave it correctly aligned to the sun as described previously, with its lid open and
the back door closed for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Beware of the bottom plate's temperature as it might already cause skin burns
after only 5 minutes of solar exposure.
Cooking
Place the vessel with the food inside the oven, at the centre, being careful not to
rub it on the cork surfaces.
The vessels used should be preferably black or transparent, with a flat bottom and
as thin as possible to obtain a low thermal inertia. To achieve the best results, we
recommend using the vessels developed by SunOK for the Suntaste. In order to
achieve maximum thermal efficiency, you should cover the vessels with
transparent film instead of using their own lids.
For tips on how to adapt your cooking to the Suntaste, please refer to our website
www.sunok.eu, where the recipes for various dishes are made available.
Condensation
While cooking, there might be some steam inside the oven and some
condensation might occur under the inside glass.
The angle of the glass will cause the water droplets to drain to the front of the
compartment, so cleaning the condensation will not be necessary while cooking.
Condensation might, however, be reduced, by always covering the vessels with
their own lids or, in the case of pans, by considering using an adequate plastic
wrap for cooking.
Removal of the vessel
While opening the back door, care should be taken to avoid skin burns from the
steam. Don't place your hands or wrists over the opening gap.
The inside of the oven will be at temperatures approaching 100°C / 212 F so it's
important to protect your hands.
