L’Atelier Solaire ☀️ A family adventure with a planetary impact 🌍

In 2020, our consumption habits are changing and we want to eat more natural products while saving money.

Always aware of the planet, Thierry, a professional cabinetmaker for over 20 years, decided to launch into the production of solar ovens and dehydrators. We spent several months improving our creations to optimize their energy performance and durability .

These new products are immediately unanimous at home and this is how we wanted to share the ovens and dryers with as many people as possible .

Marine, the daughter, joins the adventure with the desire to shake up the habits of the French by giving them the opportunity to gain energy autonomy thanks to these solar creations.

        I am very satisfied with the solar oven that Thierry installed with care and attention. It works great, even in the fall sun temperatures rise to 150 degrees. In addition, the email contact with Thierry was very friendly and I received a quick response to all my questions. Thank you very much for your time and the wonderful product!

        ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

        Beautiful object, purchased assembled at the beginning of May, careful construction, well studied. I admired the patience and kindness of the builder who answered every single one of my questions and suggested adjustments. Finally the sun is here! We will be able to get down to business; while waiting for it in all its glory, I was able to experiment with its uses in cloudy or overcast skies. Even in this case, with time, we are able to reheat or defrost perfectly, which corresponds one of my major expectations.​

      The question corner

      Why cook and dehydrate with the sun's energy?

      For many reasons !

      ✅ You gain energy autonomy and save on your electricity bill.

      ✅ 0 waste cooking with green energy. You preserve your health, the environment and the planet!

      ✅ It's a fun activity with children.

      ✅ You don't heat the house in summer when you cook with the oven.

      ✅ Our creations operate unlimitedly everywhere on earth, without planned obsolescence.

      How high can the solar oven and solar dryer go?

      The homemade solar oven reaches 150°C, the solar dryer goes up to 50°C.

      What are the advantages and disadvantages of gentle cooking?

      ✅ Gentle cooking intensifies the flavors, provides better taste and incomparable softness.

      ✅ It also allows better preservation of nutrients and vitamins.

      ✅ Cooking takes longer, but nothing can burn, no need to monitor cooking.

      How long to cook a pie/pizza in a solar oven?

      There are several parameters to take into account: sunshine, quantity to cook, etc.

      You need to add about half the recommended time: for cooking for 1 hour, you need about 1h30.

      How to maintain the solar oven and solar dryer?

      When purchasing, for the oven and the dryer, it is recommended to apply a coat of varnish, stain or hardening oil to protect it outdoors.

      For the dryer, no maintenance necessary.

      For the oven, in a few years, you can give the tank a coat of paint. We are soon selling individual pots of natural black paint, solvent-free, resistant to high temperatures.

      Do not scrape with the green side of the sponge.

      I live in a moderately sunny area, does solar cooking/dehydration work?

      Of course, you don't need to be under the tropical sun to use our creations, we promise! 🌴

      Even if the cooking takes longer because of the weather, it's the sun that works, it's free and it doesn't pollute!

      Can you cook in a solar oven all year round?

      The care we take with manufacturing quality allows us to cook all year round, even in winter . The interior insulation of the solar oven allows cooking on a beautiful sunny day and sheltered from the cold wind.

      You can optimize the use of your oven in winter behind a window bay, a greenhouse or a swimming pool shelter...

      How to optimize cooking/dehydration time in the sun?

      It is important to reorient the solar oven and solar dryer every hour or 2 hours, so that it always faces the sun. That's all !

      Why choose the Solar Workshop?

      ✅ We use ecological and biosourced materials.

      ✅ All damaged parts are repairable and we provide after-sales service
