solar cookers
Sunlight-powered cooking devices
Solar cookers are devices that use sunlight to heat food, requiring no fuel beyond the sun's energy.
Designs range from simple reflective panels that concentrate light onto a pot to insulated box cookers with transparent lids.
They work best in sunny climates and are promoted for off-grid cooking in developing regions: The village received solar cookers to reduce firewood dependence.
