What is a Solar Cooker?
Cooking is done by sunlight falling on dark surfaces and changing to heat. The heat is trapped around the pot and flows into the food that becomes gently yet thoroughly cooked. A solar cooker uses free energy delivered to your yard every sunny day. The domestic solar designs are safe due to the materials and design used in construction coupled with the low operating temperatures. It is clearly safer and cheaper when compared to gas, electric, propane, or kerosene or wood. There is no smoke or pollution using a solar cooker. There are many different designs of solar cookers, some quite elaborate and quite excessively hot. Safe, inexpensive, simple solar cookers for household use most frequently are one of two basic kinds: solar boxes and solar panels. Solar cookers are a convenient way of producing good meals without heating up the house or buying fuel even when there is no emergency. Solar Box Cookers are well insulated boxes usually with one large window flat or almost flat in the top
