“…The thermal energy provided by the sun is used to treat food in different ways. Examples include drying [1], baking and cooking [2]. Solar food preparation devices operated with solar energy are known, in which solar energy directly heats a surface or air along it in a closed box, and the heat is transferred from there to the closed vessel placed in the box [3].…”

The studied solar pot is a recent invention, which gained a utility model protection in 2021 from the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office under patent number 5489. The device is made for environmentally friendly cooking or heating (by utilizing solar energy) of foods and liquids. Its structure is similar to a double pipe heat exchanger, it has an outer mantle and an inner cooking tank. The goals of the paper are proposing a new physically-based mathematical model describing the solar pot and carrying out computer experiments with it, assembling an experimental system of the pot connected with a solar collector and performing measurements on it. Based on the results, the solar pot can successfully be used for cooking or sterilizing foods or liquids during the studied time period, in Hungary.

Based on the results, the solar pot can successfully be used for cooking or sterilizing foods or liquids during the studied time period, in Hungary. In particular, based on measured data, the temperature level needed for heat treatment (75 °C) can be maintained in the cooking tank for several hours (~5 h, on the average) in a typical day in May.
