Solar Cooker

     I would recommend a panel cooker because it looked like it would be the most simple, effective, and portable design, that does not cost very much. In this design, there is a reflector panel that concentrates solar thermal energy onto a pot insulated with an oven bag. The reflected energy hits and heats the pot, cooking meals inside it. It is also the best choice because it is a simple design that is easy to build. The only materials that this requires to assemble, would be a cardboard box, aluminum foil, glue, tape, a jar, and an oven bag. This would not cost much at all. This would not take a lot of time to assemble either. We would only have to glue aluminum foil to the cardboard and fold it into a panel. This design also gets as hot as 300 degrees F. I think that this design will be the best for what we as a class are doing.
