Solar Oven

solar oven, also called solar cooker, a device that harnesses sunlight as a source of heat for cooking foodstuffs. The solar oven is a simple, portable, economical, and efficient tool.

Especially in the developing world, solar ovens are much to be preferred over other methods of cooking. Of the many advantages of solar ovens, the greatest is its freedom from the necessity for fuel. Solar ovens thus not only remove any persistent labour or monetary costs associated with cooking, but by conserving often scant resources in the long run they prevent deforestation and desertification. Solar ovens are also useful in the developed world whenever electricity is unavailable and traditional open fires are undesirable, such as while camping.
