SOLAR COOKING OVEN SALES UP 400% DUE TO HIGH FUEL
PRICES AND CONCERNS FOR CLEANER ENVIRONMENT
Solar cooking technology used in the developing world
is now being utilized in the U.S.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ELBURN, ILLINOIS, April 20, 2004 --/WORLD-WIRE/-- Sun
Ovens International Incorporated announced today that
solar oven sales in the U.S. are up 400% in the last
month due to high fuel prices and concerns over recent
air pollution reports. Sun Ovens International manufactures
highly efficient, environmentally-friendly solar cooking
appliances sold in 126 countries worldwide and has been
actively promoting solar cooking around the world. Sun
Ovens International's Global Sun Oven reaches temperatures
of 360 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit with no fuel and can
bake, boil and steam any food that can be cooked in
a conventional oven. The Global Sun Oven retails for
$229.
"For many years we have sold our solar ovens globally
to people who typically depend on firewood or charcoal
for cooking everyday meals. Recently we have seen a
tremendous interest domestically in this technology
due to the rising fuel costs," said Paul Munsen,
president of Sun Ovens International. "Our sales
are booming in the U.S this past month."
Sun Ovens International will be taking part in this
week's U.S. Department of State's Earth Day Exhibition
with a solar cooking demonstration of the giant Villager
Solar Oven and the family-size Global Sun Oven on Thursday,
