What can you cook with a solar cooker?

Answer 1

Solar cookers come in different forms based how they absorb the sun's rays. Some of the most popular types of solar ovens are solar concentrating ovens, solar reflective ovens, and solar absorption ovens. Each provides a reliable, low-cost solution for cooking so you can keep the heat out of the kitchen.

Solar cookers are great for camping trips or outdoor cooking where electricity and fuel are far out of reach. If you're worried about losing cooking power when the sun retreats behind the clouds, some companies manufacture hybrid solar ovens that can be plugged into an electrical outlet. In the absence of sun, an electrically powered infrared heat source keeps the internal chamber at the proper cooking temperature.

Answer 2

A solar power cooker is a device whereby solar energy is reflected by mirrors (or shiny surfaces) and concentrated on a small area where a small quantity of food may be heated. It is possible to boil water or cook meat, but this will require a large reflective surface and direct sunlight.

Answer 3

You can cook rice, beans, bake bread, cook soups, steam vegetables, almost any recipe can be used. If the recipe calls for higher temperatures you just increase the cooking time. What a great camping tool this is, too! Imagine returning from a day of hiking, or fishing to find your dinner completely cooked, hot, and ready to eat. You can't beat this "low tech" way of cooking.
