About Solar cookers:
Solar cookers utilize the simple principles of reflection, concentration, absorption, glazing, insulation and the greenhouse effect to produce heat. Various types of solar cookers exist, harnessing some of these principles. A box cooker cooks a meal in 2-3 hours depending on sunshine and quantity of food. A parabolic cooker cooks faster or higher quantities. A reflector of a diameter of 1,4m for instance boils 6 litres of water per hour.
