TL;DR: Have a hot meal wherever you go with the Go portable solar oven for $119, a 14% savings as of May 9.

As we look toward upcoming summer festivities, our calendars are looking pretty bleak. Nearly every event has been postponed. Festival season was straight-up canceled. And gatherings in public places are basically extinct. With fewer options on the table, you’re probably going to be spending a lot of time enjoying the great outdoors in small groups or on your own as the weather warms up. By then, you’ll be sick of staying home, so it’s a good thing nature isn’t canceled.

As you head outside for your camping, hiking, biking, and beach excursions, you’ll probably need a way to cook your own food, especially if restaurants are still closed or operating on abbreviated hours. We’ve got just thing, and it’s on sale: the Go Portable Solar Oven. All you need is a little bit of sun and this lightweight grill can cook just about anything.

The GoSun Portable Oven is small enough to fit in your bag, thanks to its compact 14-inch size. (It weights just 2 lbs.) Just unzip it, set up the kickstand, point it toward the sun using the sundial, and load it up with whatever you need to bake, roast, steam, or boil. Using the power of the sun, it’ll heat all the way up to 550° F, and can cook most things in 20 to 45 minutes.

This portable cooking gadget might seem like a novelty, but according to Amazon reviewers, it definitely works. It’s earned a 4.4-star rating and has surprised most users with how often they actually use it.

Typically retailing for $139, you can grab one for your summer adventures for just $119.
