Earlier we have seen the solar box Cookers. Now we will discuss about the Concentrating Solar Cookers also Known As Parabolic Solar Cookers. This type of solar cookers are very much used in all over the world due to the faster cooking ability. They are also known as solar dish cookers. As per the constructional point of view there are many design available in this type of solar cookers. Main Parts Of Concentrating Solar Cookers As per the figure you can have a idea about the simple construction of concentrating solar cookers. The main Parts are Reflecting Structure: Mainly all concentrating solar cookers are made with parabolic shape in circular or rectangular profile. Reflecting material can be anodized aluminium sheet, reflecting mirror or any other reflecting media with reflectivity more then or equal to 90. This will reflect all the sun rays to one focal point known as focus of the parabola. Cooking Pot: At the focus of the parabola the heat is maximum due to concentration of th

About 10-20% of protein retention is more as compared to that in conventional cooking .Vitamin thiamine retention is about 20 to 30% more whereas vitamin A is retained 5 to 10% more when food is cooked in solar cooker. 4)Solar cooking is pollution free and safe 5)Solar cookers come in various sizes. Based on the number of family members, the size of the cooker can be chosen 6)All cooking activities (like boiling, roasting) can be done using a solar cooker Disadvantages 1) The First And the Most Condition Is Adequate sunshine is required for cooking 2) Takes

WHY SOLAR COOKERS ONLY? solar cookers can reduce the effect of global warming, some of the company sais that one solar cooker can reduce 1 ton of co2, a simple solar box cooker can save two lpg cylinder (each of the 14.5 kg) if it is used for the family of the 4-6 members daily two times. Just read the calculation of solar energy that comes on the earth: If we value the energy from the sun is 1,00,00,00,000 unit then the energy available on the earth is only 4 unit. Which is 2,00,000 times more than energy requirement on the whole earth. That means if we utilize the solar energy correctly and efficiently then we do not need any other energy sources. That means if only 20 % population start using the solar cooker then effect of global warming can be reduces. Other benifits of Solar cookers are NUTRITION: Temperature controlled cooking retains vitamins, carbohydrates and proteins. Uncontrolled temperature on LPG/CNG or wood leads to loss of approx. 80% of food value. TASTE: Solar cooking
