The cooking chamber has a fairly large cooking area16.5 cm (6 1/2") deep with upward sloping sides 13.5 cu/in. at the bottom and 20 cu/in. at the top of the cooking chamber.
The SunFocus oven is designed to sit on a flat surface, it's back reflector adjustable to angle the sun's energy into the  cooking chamber and the two side reflectors are stationary at a 50 deg. angle. It relies on the electrical back-up on cloudy days or when the sun is low in the sky, or for winter cooking in higher northern latitudes.
