Saracon Solar Cooker

This is a short presentation of the recently build Solar Steam Cooker running at Saracon kitchen in Auroville, India.

The Video contains two interview, with Chandresh, the fund raiser of this project, and Jo, the cook in charge at Saracon.
You will first see a collection of pictures we made during the building process: planning and drawing, building, testing and fine tuning.
Then you´ll see a video to get an impression how it looks and how it works.

We thank everybody who supported us and we hope you enjoy the view on the building process and it´s (nearly) final look.

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
