Description

The Parabolic Solar Cooker is a powerful and efficient cooking solution, designed to harness the sun’s energy for high-temperature cooking. With a shallow parabola and a focus length of 60 cm (23.62 inches), this cooker can reach an impressive 1500 watts on sunny days, making it suitable for various cooking needs. The focus area spans 1.5 square meters (16.15 sq ft), and it can achieve focal spot temperatures of up to 1200°C.

Measuring 1.5 meters in diameter (4.92 ft) and standing 3ft 8in tall, the cooker features a pot receptacle height of 3ft 2in from the ground, ensuring ease of use. Constructed from six rigid, molded steel panels coated with durable adhesive-backed reflective vinyl, this solar cooker can concentrate sunlight effectively, providing exceptional cooking results.

Unlike traditional solar ovens, which allow food to cook unattended, the Parabolic Solar Cooker requires careful monitoring and adjustment to prevent burning, as it reaches high temperatures rapidly. It is ideal for users looking to replace their stove top with a sustainable, energy-efficient solution.

Additional Information

To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to use heavier gauge steel pots, as lighter materials may scorch food. The cooking platform can support up to 40 lbs, making it suitable for most cookware. The entire unit can be rotated on castor wheels for easy sun tracking, or the parabola can be adjusted on its center axis.

Users should note that while the pot receptacle height is fixed, adjustments can be made to the elevation of the cooking platform. The Parabolic Solar Cooker is a versatile and powerful addition to any solar cooking setup.
