Cooker with 4 liter pots
Five units ready for their plexiglas covers
The Easy Solar Stove (tm) reaches interior temperatures of about 130°C/265°F in full sun in about 15 minutes, and will cook rice in about 3 hours. Cooking times are similar to a conventional 'slow cooker'.
The Easy Solar Stove is inexpensive to manufacture - about $5.75US.
It is waterproof, stable - it will not tip over, and it is constructed to last a long time. The exterior never gets hot, so it is safe to have around children. No plastic bag is required, and condensation is not a problem. The interior dimensions are 11 x 14 x 11 inches- 28 x 36 x 28 cm. It will follow the sun with only three adjustments throughout the day.
While "Ball" jars are shown, it is also possible to use a 4 liter cooking pot. These are shown in the double-wide units on the left.
Because the stoves are a substantial box style, they are less likely to be disturbed when accidentally bumped, unlike an open panel cooker.
