  • The bottom of the pressure cooker is black. The reflected light is so bright you always get some reflection...

  • How many minutes did it take to get boiled? I heard without the pressure one, it takes like an hour to boil water?

  • It all depends on the time of day. In Townsville 19 degrees south of equator it takes about the same time to cook/boil as it does on a propane stove if utilised in the middle of the day (11am-2pm) things obviously slow down either side of this, would be more efficient and quicker if the top and sides of preasure cooker were well insulated and if the mirror was a true mirror... Cheers..M

  • It all depends on how much water the pressure cooker contains. How much potatoes or other contents and how cold they are to start with. It also depends on the area of the mirror that you are reflecting light to one place from. I use a 1.2 square meter reflector with this cooker. I will have to time it for you with a set weight of potatoes and water and I will let you know...Cheers.. M

  • Many people don't know of the pressure-cooking timetables you can cook a ROAST with gravy or a stew to where it can be cut with a fork under an hour. I cook spaghetti 15 min. Sure you can use a box oven to me it is not considered safe for $meats you get some clouding and food can spoil that is not green if you producing dog food for supper. Box ovens are for good sun days and best for vegetables potatoes rice are staples using a box oven you reduce the meat you will eat that is green.Great video

  • I'm impressed.

see all

  • It's not a demo at all! We ignore what you've done with that cooker before you began shooting your video! Why didn't you post a 4 minute video, instead? I'll give you the RIGHT and HONNEST answer: IT DOESN'T WORK THAT MUCH! We've been giving it a try and it's all but working!

  • great stuff ill get the beers :)

  • But the metalic aluminum reflects the light !!!!!

    You should paint the bottom of the pressure pan of black.

  • did you make the solar disc

    what kind of material is it?

  • How many minutes did it took to boil in townsville at 11am-2pm?

    I had review a casestudy in indonesia which is basically on the equator but without pressure cooker, and it was roughly 50 mins.

  • Cool next step is to insulate the pressure cooker to hold heat in better.
