Solar Cooker Progress

   The building process for our solar cooker has changed. At first, we had our mind set on a parabolic cooker. After discussing and failing our attempt to make one we moved on to a box cooker. It has been much easier and I have learned about the angles of how the mirrors and foil will have to be put. Our design is the outer flap panels are covered in foil and soon to have mirrors put on top. The inside is covered in foam topped with a windshield sunshade so it really bounces the heat off to the pot. I think it will work effectively because we have put a lot of effort and hard work into the project. 
This is my group

Parabolic Cooker


My recommendation would be the Parabolic Cooker.  Although a parabolic cooker needs frequent adjustment it is fast for cooking food. I have no patience when it comes to cooking, I want my food cooked fast. Even with other people and the new technology today, patience has run quite low. Another reason is it is very efficient.  Although it can be dangerous and some ways, it is efficient and gets work done quickly. I like the two other cookers, but I just like what is fast. The one disadvantage I do not like is that it is complex to make, and I am not very complex. What is your choice if a solar cooker?
