Know The Advantages Of Using Solar Cooker

In remote areas and some third world countries where people have no access to electricity and fuel is a priced commodity, solar cookers offer an easy way of preparing food and purifying water.

A solar cooker is a device which utilizes the power of the sun in cooking food and sterilizing water. Solar cookers only require clear skies and healthy sunshine to work. However, most of the solar cookers available today are low-tech versions. High tech versions such as those operated by solar cells are somewhat expensive.

There are many styles of solar cookers. However, the three most common types are the parabolic cooker, box cooker, and panel cooker.

Most solar cookers today fall in these types but many other styles exist which are usually a combination of these three types. In the past, cookers were created or built using materials which can be easily found in a local hardware store. Even today, when solar cookers are becoming popular, many people are still creating their own homemade solar cooker design with remarkable success.

The parabolic cooker looks like a satellite dish. When the sun shines on the metal reflectors, it heats it up to extremely high temperatures. Heat is reflected from the corners of the Solavore Sport Oven to the center where food is cooked directly on the metal or in a pot. Because of its wide, reflective surface, parabolic cookers could get seriously hot.

Solavore Sports Solar Oven can be made from wood, metal, cardboard, or plastic. This type of solar cooker has several parts: an insulated box with dark base, reflective lid, and clear cover. The reflectors concentrate light on the insulated box; the dark base absorbs heat while the clear plastic or glass cover contains it. The heat trapped inside the box intensifies to a level high enough to boil water and cook food.

Cooking methods that use wood and other non-renewable fuels emit toxic fumes into the air. This can lead to air pollution and health complications if these fumes are inhaled. Solar oven, on the other hand, uses solar power, do not produce harmful toxins and can greatly reduce air and water pollution,
