{{GoogleTranslateLinks}} {{Updated|1|19|23}} We are avid solar cookers and developers for decades in [[Lesotho]]. Recently, I built a proto-type [[parabolic trough system]] and my wife, who is a Lesotho national, is using it to operate a steady cottage bread and pastry baking business. The device can bake 25-40, 1000g loaves (depending on the season) in a day (and even a bit more on a perfect day). It also does pastries beautifully. Some video footage is available on You Tube if you search Lesotho and find [[Bethel Business and Community Development Centre]]. The solar bread baker works so well, that we invested in a 20 liter dough mixer, which also operates off our house’s PV system. :<gallery widths="300" spacing="small"hideaddbutton="true"> Parabolic_trough_Ivan_Yaholnitsky_2008.JPG|The T-188 Parabolic trough cooker bakes 5 loaves of bread at one time Baked_bread_Ivan_Yaholnitsky_2008.jpg|Loaves of bread are ready to be distributed ''(Photos: Ivan Yaholnitsky)'' </gallery> =={{HeadingNews}}== [[File:Evacuated tube trough cooker, Ivan Y, 1-19-23.png|thumb|350px|The [[Solarsoft Mark 1]] evacuated tube trough cooker, ''Photo credit: Ivan Yaholnitsky'']] *{{NewJan23}}'''January 2023: New cooker design''' - Ivan Yaholnitsky has combined aspects of [[:Category:Evacuated tube solar cooker designs|evacuated tube cookers]] with [[:Category:Solar trough cooker designs|trough reflector cookers]], which he calls the [[Solarsoft Mark 1]]. The tube is nicely protected and the reflector is also protected from the wind and other possible damage. It looks like it is fairly easily fabricated. *'''April 2008:''' Ivan Yaholnitsky has built a proto-type parabolic trough system that he is using to operate a steady cottage bread and pastry baking business.
