For big kitchen serving thousands of people every day, solar steam system through many [[Scheffler Community Kitchen|Scheffler reflectors]] integrated as a steam producing plant is the best available system. Scheffler system gives the facility of indoor cooking by steam produced automatically in an integrated system of Scheffler reflectors which is highly scientific device invented by benevolent scientist Mr. Wolfgang Scheffler. It is now commonly used at many temples of India serving solar cooked meals to 1000 to 20000 people per day.

But we have developed simpler and cheaper alternative solar cooking system, which is far more user-friendly than Scheffler reflectors. We have developed 10 sq mt community parabolic solar cooker which can cook for 120 in one hour. Using such many modular cookers, cooking up to 1000 to 2000 people becomes far simpler, cheaper and user-friendly alternative.
