The Minimum Solar Box Cooker is a simple box cooker that can be built in a few hours for very little money. Using ideas developed by many different people, Tom Sponheim and Mark Aalfs attempted to come up with the simplest design that they could devise at the time (1990). They named it the "Minimum Solar Box Cooker." What they didn't communicate with that name was that this is a full-power cooker that works very well, and is in no way minimum as far as its cooking power goes. Two cardboard boxes

This looks like a fun little project that I think people here would enjoy! I have a little stack of tin foil takeaway boxes that I could use for this. Just need to get hold of the plexiglass (or the oven bag they suggest, but I’d like to do it entirely with reusables if possible).

EDIT: Grammar.

    Yeah exactly! I’m not sure how they’re made… Maybe like a vacuum chamber that is also a glovebox? So you could put the tube+lid in the chamber, evacuate the atmosphere, use the gloves to apply the lid, then release the vacuum? Do gloveboxes work under vacuum?
