“…The average temperature of cooking was observed as 130.35°C. Chaudhary et al 26,27 devolved an airtight cooking pot for the cooking of Indian cuisine items for the same solar cooker. The different cooking load was applied to the cooking pot at different time, and the maximum temperature of the fluid was observed to be 149.3°C.…”

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%.

“…A study is conducted to determine the annual cost savings using the SFS based on the PDC instead of a conventional cook stove. Regarding cost and cooking time, a comparison has been made between the given solar cooking system and the usual cooking technique using LPG 27 . The economic assessment of the system is performed by comparing the consumption of LPG in India.…”

Steam cooking is beneficial over other cooking techniques like boiling since it preserves more vitamins lost during other methods. In this study, a novel solar food steamer (SFS) based on a parabolic dish concentrator (PDC) is designed and constructed for domestic food preparation. A straightforward fabrication process of a 2.626 m2 PDC with design calculations is also presented. The system's instantaneous energy and exergy efficiency evaluation has been examined from different tests over three consecutive days. The system's high energetic and exergetic efficiency was achieved in the case of sweet potato, that is, 72.83% and 15.14%, respectively. In the case of dried chickpeas, the maximum steaming duration of 70 min was attained, along with an energy efficiency of 47.74% and an exergy efficiency of 10.07%. In addition, an economic analysis was performed to determine the payback time in terms of cost and utility. The payback time for the proposed method is 2.4 years. The SFS may save 43 kg/month of carbon dioxide from escaping into the atmosphere; it can be considered an environmentally valuable device.

“…They reported that the box type solar cooking are widely used but had limiting application whereas concentrating cookers are appropriate for fast cooking. Chaudhary et al [13][14][15] investigated an evacuated tube based system for pressurized cooking, steam based cooking and simultaneous cooking with twin vessel design. Their cooking system proved to cook with different cooking methods using respective cooking vessels throughout the day.…”

A solar cooking system is investigated for the simmering type of cooking using slow heating cooking pot (SHCP) and evacuated tube collector (EVTC). The thermic oil used as heat transfer fluid (HTF) is utilized to convey heat from the solar collector to SHCP. Indian cuisine items like Khoa and Kheer are cooked by using simmering method of cooking. The cooking load is varied from 1 to 2.5 L for khoa preparation and 2 to 2.8 L load is varied for kheer preparation. The cooking is done by utilizing the thermal energy of thermic oil flowing inside the SHCP and its average energy and exergy efficiency is evaluated which varies from $0.20 to around 0.30 and 0.15 to 0.20, respectively. The payback period of the presented solar cooking system is 3.45 years.
