Inspired by the warm sun, Line and Bruni decided to spontaneously build a solar cooker. After a little research on the internet and gathering all the necessary bits and pieces together it took less than an hour to construct this great piece of Danish-German engineering! We did not need to buy anything. We had plenty of cardboard boxes, aluminium foil, a black cooking pot and tray, glue and plastic from cheap picture frames. All the materials were recycled.
The first experiment was to cook some simple rice. At 10 am we positioned the cooker toward the sun, filled the pot with cold water and rice and set off to the market in Serta. We tried not to have any expectations as our constructions was less than perfect, but as we returned for lunch three hours later, the pot was too hot to touch and the rice steaming and cooked. Now we are hooked on the idea of cooking with the sun and will experiment with different models and cooking ideas. We will keep you posted about our experiences in the solar world. Since then we have cooked muffins, baba ganosh and several other culinary delights. Ove r the coming weeks we intend to improve upon our design and use more robust materials, but for now, it works a treat.
