“…It was revealed that a cooking pot with sunflower oil as a sensible heat storage medium was more successful than a cooking pot with erythritol as a latent heat storage material. Also, a review of latent heat storage material for night cooking has been done by Dhiman and colleagues 32,33 to perform the cost analysis of the different types of solar collectors.…”

In the present research article, an indirect type solar cooking system has been developed for indoor cooking. In the proposed cooking system, a cooking pot has been placed at a distance of 5 m from the parabolic dish collector, and the heat has been transmitted from the collector to the cooking pot by means of heat transfer fluid. A gear pump of 40 W and insulated pipes have been used to circulate the fluid. A number of experiments have been performed to analyze the performance of the cooking system. During the investigation, the system achieved the temperature of the heat transfer fluid up to 175°C. The time taken for cooking the rice and the black grams has been observed 21 and 68min, respectively. The average thermal efficiency of the proposed system for the entire day has been achieved at 13.11%.

The greenhouse gas emission in atmosphere has been increasing day by day and cooking is one of the primary reasons for this due to the burning of fossile fuels. In the current research article, the thermal performance of solar pressurize cooker has been investigated experimentally. It is an indirect type of cooker setup in which a pressurized cooker and solar collector are placed apart.Heat transfer fluid is used to transmit heat from a conical receiver to a cooking pot. The cooking potential of the cooker is observed by cooking different edible food at different cooking loads. The cooking is done by circulating heat transfer fluid. Also, energy and exergy analysis have been done for the pressurized cooking used for heating 2 liter of water.The water in cooking pot took 65 minutes to reach the temperature of 100℃. The maximum energy and exergy efficiency values are found to be 32.62% and 22.11%, respectively, whereas, the average energy and exergy efficiency are determined to be 10.58% and 7.08%, respectively. The temperature of heat transfer fluid reached upto 170℃, and the maximum temperature in cooking pot achieved to 151℃.It is observed that cooking system can cook different kinds of edible foods of different cooking load. The system is able to cook at medium temperatures for almost six hours. The system has been successfully tested with a maximum cooking load of 3 litres. The system is long-lasting and requires minimal maintenance.
