Reflector oven

A reflector oven is like a special oven that you can use when you are outside camping or cooking in nature. It is made up of shiny, metal plates that are curved like a big bowl.

When you want to use the reflector oven, you start a fire on the ground with wood or charcoal. Then, you put your food inside the reflector oven, and the shiny metal plates reflect the heat and send it towards your food.

The reflector oven is designed to bounce the heat from the fire towards your food, just like how a mirror bounces light. This way, your food can cook evenly and thoroughly without getting burnt.

Using a reflector oven can be a fun way to cook outside and it's perfect for making things like bread, cakes, or other baked goods that you may miss from home.
