A4 cardboard box with lid

Original material, used by Martin

Price3 CHF
It is important to adapt the size of the insulation according to the size of the selected cardboard box.

The cardboard box we used was made for stocking A4 documents. As it was deep enough (approx. 17 cm) this box was ideal for the solar oven project.

Pour la plaque de verre, il est possible d'acheter un petit cadre photo. C'est parfois meilleur marché que de se faire couper une plaque de verre. Par contre il faut trouver un petit format de vitre 10x15.
Attention, il faut que cela soit du verre pour que l'effet de serre se produise efficacement !
