What can you cook with a solar cooker?
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.
What foods are cooked in solar ovens?
anything

How to Use Renewable Energy Effectively on a Small Scale?
Renewable energy is all around in the form of wind and sunshine, and some people who could not otherwise afford to use it can do so by using sunshine to cook their food. Solar ovens concentrate sunlight to cook just about any kind of food. The sun is one of the most dependable forms of renewable energy, and people can either buy solar ovens or make them for a cost-effective alternative to using fossil fuels or electricity for cooking. The money involved in setting up solar panels to generate some or all of a home’s electricity can take years to recover, but when people start small by using solar ovens for cooking, the payoff can be within a few days, not decades. Solar ovens are in use all over the world to help people offset the cost of fuel for cooking, remove dangerous smoke from the air indoors, and to cook in situations where renewable energy from the sun is the only kind available. Using renewable energy cuts down on power consumption in climates above the South Pole and below Alaska, solar cooking works almost all year long. People can even use solar ovens in the winter. The sun reflecting off snow will actually create more heat inside a solar oven. As long as the sun is shining, solar ovens can work. Three types of solar ovens exist. The most common type is a box oven that is covered with tempered glass and uses reflectors to heat the air inside. The next kind of solar cooker is the panel cooker. Food is placed in dark pans that are enclosed in a cooking bag and the reflectors on the panels direct the heat created by the sun into the pan The third kind of solar cookers are the parabolic cookers. These look like satellite dishes covered with highly reflective materials. They concentrate the light into a focal point. Food is placed on or near the focal points and can cook quickly. All of these devices use free, renewable energy and affordable gateways into exploring how to use renewable energy on a smaller scale than a solar array on a rooftop. The cost of entry is low, the benefits of using solar cookers are high.
