The Minimum Solar Box Cooker is a simple box cooker that can be built in a few hours for very little money. Using ideas developed by many different people, Tom Sponheim and Mark Aalfs attempted to come up with the simplest design that they could devise at the time (1990).

This looks like a fun little project that I think people here would enjoy! I have a little stack of tin foil takeaway boxes that I could use for this. Just need to get hold of the plexiglass (or the oven bag they suggest, but I’d like to do it entirely with reusables if possible).

EDIT: Grammar.
