SOLAR OVEN
How Does Solar Cooking Work?
Solar cooking is done by means of the suns UV rays.
A solar cooker lets the UV light rays in and then converts them to
longer infrared light rays that cannot escape. Infrared radiation has the
right energy to make the water, fat and protein molecules in food vibrate
vigorously and heat up.
It is not the suns heat that cooks the food, nor is it the outside ambient
temperature, though this can somewhat affect the rate or time required to
cook, but rather it is the rays of the sun that are converted to heat energy
that cook the food, and this heat energy is then retained by the pot and
the food by the means of a covering or lid.
This occurs in much the same way that a greenhouse retains heat or a car
with its windows rolled up. An effective solar cooker will use the energy of
the sun to heat a cooking vessel and efficiently retain the energy (heat) for
maximum cooking effectiveness.

There are also many Types of Solar Cookers.

Examples:

Solar Panel Cooker

Solar Parabolic Cooker

Solar Box Cooker

the items needed

-shoe box with lid
-aluminum foil
-glue
-scissors
-optional: crafting knife

How to use the solar oven

Measure a rectangle 1 inch from the edges of the outside of your shoebox
lid. Cut three sides of the rectangle, leaving one longer side uncut, If desired,
score the fourth side of the rectangle on the inside of the lid, to make lifting
and propping up the rectangle easy.

Line and glue aluminum foil to the inside of your shoe box, shiny side out,
making sure no cardboard is exposed. If desired, add a second layer of foil.
Line the inside of the lid and the flap with foil similarly (make sure the flap is
lined separately and can be lifted up).

Prop the foil-lined rectangle on the lid open and hold it open using metal
wire or bamboo sticks placed at the corners. Place your food, in cookware,
inside the shoebox and put the lid on top. Position your solar cooker where it
will get the most exposure to sunlight. Cooking time will vary depending on
the food and the weather.
