How to make solar cooker

It’s basically very simple and very cost effective, best for camping and countries like India, Pakistan.

  • Get a concave round piece of polished metal(polished like mirror to reflect sun rays or may be if you have seen bumpers of old cars i.e. chromed), like a shallow bowl
  • Metal tripod
  • screws or if you have access to welding

Mount the concave sheet of polished metal on the tripod facing the sun, find the point where all the sun rays are reflected and concentrated on a single point, put a pot with water in it a you will see that with in 5 minutes you will get boiling water, time depends on the weather, when it’s a summer sunny day you get it faster than winter but its very efficient, maintenance free and no cost of fuel or electricity.
