==What to test==
A focus only on speed and highest temperatures eliminates one important feature for some. The intuitive "fastest, hottest is always best" overlooks the benefits of slow, unattended cooking where food never burns, and sun angle adjustments are seldom needed. This is often mentioned as a favorite feature by consumer feedback from solar cooks around the world. A bias against slow, gentle solar cookers that cook like crockpots—ideal for many favored dishes—reduces market access for large populations of women whose daily needs and finances often don't fit with using the "hottest, fastest" devices. Solar cooker designers' reliance on what they THINK is best for women is too seldom confirmed by consumer feedback, which varies widely with region-specific [[foods]], women's daily demands, climate, etc. However, powerful cookers that cook very fast provide a cooking experience much like cooks are used to with traditional stoves. This might make this type of cooker more easily accepted.
