Solar cooker

Common card · No. 315461

A solar cooker, also known as a solar oven, is a device which uses the energy of direct sunlight to heat, cook or pasteurize food and drinks. Many solar ovens currently available are relatively inexpensive, low-tech devices, although some are as powerful or as expensive as traditional stoves, and advanced, large scale solar cookers can cook for hundreds of people. Because these cookers consume no fuel and are free to operate, many nonprofit organizations and environmental campaigns are encouraging their use worldwide in order to help reduce fuel costs, climate change and air pollution, and to help slow down deforestation and desertification.
