Solar cooker
A solar cooker is a device that uses energy from sunlight. They use no fuel and do not cost anything to run. They also help slow deforestation and desertification. Another benefit of solar cooking is that, unlike cooking with fire, Solar cookers do not pollute the air. Solar cookers can be used for cooking outside. This is useful when using fire is risky or there is no fuel for the fire. The solar cooker is very useful. It uses the Sun which is a renewable source of energy.
Solar box cookers can be made of materials or be made in a factory and sold.[1] There are many kinds of solar box cookers. They can be made from small cardboard boxes that can be used to cook a single meal, They can also be made of wood and glass boxes built into the sunny side of a house.[2]
The solar cooker was invented by Horace de Saussure, a Swiss naturalist, as early as 1767. They did not become popular until the 1970s. They are found in almost every country of the world.
