How Do You Make A Solar Oven From A Pringles Can?
If you’re looking for a convenient way to cook hot dogs or marshmallows while camping or if you want to cook outside but don’t have a grill, you can turn a Pringles can into a makeshift solar oven. These types of ovens cook food by using the radiant energy from the sun to generate heat. You can control the amount of energy reflected on the food, which affects how long it takes to cook, by making a few cuts in the can to form flaps. Measure a 7-inch line going down the length of the can. Center the line so that an equal amount of space is left between the end of the line and the edge of the can on both ends. Mark the line and make a cut along it. Measure a 3-inch line going across each end of the 7-inch line. Center the 3-inch lines so that you have 1½ inches on either side of the 7-inch line. Mark the 3-inch lines and cut along them to make the flaps. Bend the flaps back, but leave them attached to the can. Place the plastic wrap inside the can and cover the opening. Apply masking tape
