What is a Solar Cooker?
A solar cooker is an appliance that cooks food by using sunshine. In order to prepare meals, it captures solar energy and transforms it into heat. It is economical and environmentally friendly because it doesn't need gas, electricity, or any other fuel.
How Do Solar Cookers Operate?
Reflective surfaces, such as mirrors or aluminum sheets, are used by solar cookers to focus sunlight onto a cooking pot. Food can cook slowly and evenly because the cooker's internal temperature is raised by the retained heat.
The Solar Cooker's Operation
The greenhouse effect is how solar cookers operate. Through a clear glass or plastic cover, sunlight enters the stove and becomes trapped there. Heat is absorbed and transformed into thermal energy by the black cooking vessel. By focusing more sunshine toward the pot, reflectors aid in raising the temperature.
