Box Type Solar Cooker
Solar Box Cooker
Box-type solar cookers consist of an insulated box, metallic cooking pots inside the box, double glass lid on the cooking tray, and a reflecting mirror fitted on the underside of the lid of the box. The cooking tray is insulated on the sides and bottom. The incoming solar radiation falls onto the double glass lid and passes through it to strike the blackened cooking pots and the cooking tray. The heat is absorbed by the blackened surface and gets transferred to the food inside the pots to facilitate cooking. The mirror reflector is set in such a way to reflect the solar radiation falling on it to the cooker box. Up to four black painted vessels are placed inside the box. The box-type solar cooker takes 1½ to 2 hours to cook vegetables, rice, dals, cake, etc.
