COOKING ON THE GO
We love this piece of kit. Weighing only two pounds, the Go Oven is reported to be the world’s most portable solar oven. This lightweight and compact oven has the ability to cook a meal in 20 minutes, or boil water for that all important cup of tea. Rain or clouds, if you can see a shadow it will cook. You can keep food and drinks hot and ready for as long as 12 hours in the vacuum tube. The Go can fit inside a backpack and is ideal for the outdoor lifestyle in whatever form you choose that to be. £99 gosun.co/products/go
