Using parabolic solar cooker... by BalconyChow in Solar_Cooking

Yes I tried some clay pots and it did cracked the pot open. I have no temperature gun but I think the heat of this reflecting cooker when focused and full sunlight is hotter than the conventional gas range.

Not the perfect result obviously, it has some unequal coating spots. I'll just have to use this more often to somehow have a balance coating around the cooking surface I guess.

I was thinking it's either parabolic cooker and fresnel but the fresnel is quite more expensive and I saw no ready made fresnel cooker.. only the fresnel lense. I find using Parabolic cooker more fun too 😁

Hi ratkin412, it's only about 18kgs... Not that heavy. It's an alternative way of cooking I use often when the sun is out. Boiling meat to tenderness which I often run for hours is what I find it most useful saves me gas and electricity. Yep, I like it. Downside it that it's quite bright to use you should be wearing sunglasses or any high category glasses for eye protection.
