A new way of cooking and even pasteurizing your water is through the
innovative technology within solar cooking.
Moderate cooking temperatures in simple solar cookers help preserve
nutrients. Those, who otherwise do not want to worry about fuels, can cook
nutritious foods — such as legumes and many whole grains — that require hours
of cooking with solar. The three most common types of solar cookers are
heat-trap boxes, curved concentration and panel cookers. A transparent heat
trap around the dark pot lets in sunlight, but keeps in the heat. This is a
clear, heat-resistant plastic bag or large inverted glass bowl (in panel
cookers) or an insulated box with a glass or plastic window (in box cookers).
Curved concentration cookers typically don’t require a heat trap. It does have
to cost much if anything! Items found in your house can easily be made into a
solar cooker and can cost less than $5 to make if you needed to purchase the
material. Not only is it ecofriendly and has actually been seen around the world,
Oregon actually hosts multiple events throughout the year for free cooking
classes using this technology, depending on sunshine of course. If you or
someone you know would like to be a part of this fun and interactive way to
cook sustainable, please contact these people at workshop@sundrinkingwater.com for more information.
