How to Make a Solar Oven from a Pizza Box

You can build an oven that cooks up to 200°F with a pizza box, tape, plastic wrap and aluminum foil. First, cut a flap into the lid of the pizza box. Cover the lid and the bottom of the box with aluminum foil. Seal your food inside the pizza box with plastic wrap and tape to create an airtight compartment. Finally, place the oven in direct sunlight.

the pizza box has good insulation properties and can take the heat. the plastic wrap should not actually touch the pizza, it's there to let in high energy IR and trap the low energy IR radiated back by the contents.

It's a "cake scoop". The makers of ice cream scoops, with their button to release the ice cream from their special spoon, thought that they could repeat their earlier success with a special fork that could release their piece of cake when they pressed the button as well.

This is a fork for extracting olives from an olive barrel. It has a convenient device for ejecting impaled olives from the tines. I'm surprised they still make these.

It's a s'more roasting fork. Just layer the ingredients, clamp it shut, then hold over the fire. It could use a longer handle though.

This is a Puritan courting fork from colonial New England. Using it, the happy couple could enjoy a meal together, while propriety was ensured by the sturdy central barrier.

It's a 70's sheep afro comb. Everyone got groovy back in the day.

Saw one at a flea market and asked Grandpa what it was. He said it was a separator. I asked how it worked. He said wait around a while and you'll see it separate some fool from his money.
