Solar StoveTop Cooker : Pattern, Instructions, Recipes
Imagine a solar cooker just like the grill on the top of your stove that when you focus it to the sun it will reach 650 degrees F within minutes and only weighs 3 pounds. It will hold a 15" frying pan for grilling sandwiches, frying chicken, poaching fish, or making pizza. It will hold a pot of water for steaming corn or vegtables, and a coffee pot for perking coffee. The Solar StoveTop Cooker is like moving your stove outside except it is lightweight and portable--you can take it anywhere. You don't have to plug it in and it's a lot more fun to use. The pattern makes it easy to build. All the critical angles that are important to get the proper focal point have been included. All you have to do is cut them out, trace them onto cardboard and assemble the cooker. There is no figuring to do and just a weekend of work. Included is a 16 page instruction booklet that lists all materials needed to build this amazing cooker. It gives complete and easy step-by-step assembly instructions with 27 illustrations and photos, offers a few recipes and resources for more solar cooking information, including a solar cooking discussion group on the web. There is even a phone number to call if you run into problems or if you just want to talk to an expert. For a weekend of work you'll be cooking outside with free heat from the sun, with no smoke or pollution, without ever using a single kilowatt of commercial power, and you'll be doing something good for the environment.
