May I ask what temperature your steam oven produces?

@greenboy215

Sorry we had no thermometer attached,

so no measurements about that, sorry

[deezynar]

This is a great idea. I like that the cooking done remotely from the collector. The steam box could be located inside of a building, as long as the steam pipe runs are kept short.

My only negative comments are that the box doesn't need to be any deeper than the height of your tallest pot plus a couple of inches, and the box should be lower so the lady can get at the food.

so is this basically a steam oven?

could u save the heat in a salt bath to cook at night?

[edgarjesusrodriguez]

he is asking what function does this have and how does the air travel towards the box regards thanks

[elizondo2000]

hello jan said that you can have double the temperature if you connect one end of the tube, not half, and if you need more temperature, just put together two parallel tubes so you have an air inlet and one exit but had two questions to ask you one as you manage the flow of air? you're a fan or something? and see in the video seems a clear bottle with water which is its function? thank you very much for your attention receives greetings

@MegaSpeakerboxx

the capitals say 'how does the hot air travel towards the cooking box?'

[cdltpx]

This is a great idea they don't have to build the box they can use refuse chest freezers they are already insulated just run the tube for steam. Plenty of freezers are innefficient but have sturdy insulated boxes. Or even a broken oven can be converted for this use. Here in the USA there is so much waiste of state of the art equipment that originally was needed for a freezer or oven and now can be converted for solar cooking.

I'm not sure exactly how your system works, but I know that if you paint the pots black or have them anodized black or something, that they will absorb heat better.

[WoundedEgo]

So the solar energy is directed to the pipe and the air inside is pumped into the cooking box? Is there a fan? Couldn't this design be used to heat a home as well?

Thanks.

what is the reflective material made from ?

is it stainless steel ?

[agungk]

Yes! This is a solar cooker that I believe actually works. However, the cooking box should be diversified.

I don't know if they use heatpipe heat exchanger or not (looks not), but I think the heat energy could be directed into oven-like box for grilling, hotplate for uses such as frying foods.

great video and a nice job they did on that trough cooker. Instead of the suns rays hitting the food directly, the steam enters the chamber for the heat. to cook the food.
