“…The shape of the parabolic solar cookers provides precise convergent focus, allowing cooking temperatures above 150 ° C and shorter cooking times (Kedar et al, 2017;Theu and Kimambo, 2023). However, they are directional, requiring angle adjustments every 15 -20 minutes (Arunachala et al, 2020).…”

Brazil is a tropical country which has an average of 250 sunny days per year. Unfortunately, very little solar energy is used for both heating water and for food cooking with solar cookers. Traditional cooking process demands fuel consumption while solar cooking takes advantage of the abundant, free solar energy. This article proposes the use of affordable panel solar cookers, with a sustainable design, based on waste materials, such as cardboard and potato chips metallized plastic bags as alternative materials to commercial reflective aluminum foil or reflective plastic films. Our work is an example of the feasibility of simple, fast and low-cost solar cooking apparatus and techniques dissemination among underprivileged communities.

“…However, the quality of the heat transfer could be significantly improved with an amelioration of the contact surface of the heat storage unit. Thermal analysis of solar parabolic dish cooker with back reflection was presented by Kedar et al, (2017). The thermal performance of this type of solar cooker was better than a solar box cooker.…”
