Hey, thanks for the positive comment! It is a very good way to cook and really works well. You have to keep a close watch on the food while cooking because it WILL burn the food! I have used it many many times since I made it. No charcoal, no electricity, no LP gas! Just Sunlight!

I did have a lid on the skillet, but took it off to show the action. Thanks for the comment!

That is the best solar powered cooking method I ever seen. Plus you dont even have to stand in the way of the sun when cooking.

Thanks for the comment. Yes it is a series of 12 mirrors and a parobolic curve. Materials cost about $150. I sell illustrated plans for $18(includes shipping).

Are you working on a compact version for campers, pack up and go type?

Thanks for the question. I have a portable version still on the drawing board that uses reflective mylar instead of glass mirrors.
I am currently working on another solar project a this time and probably won't have the portable Solar Skillet ready before spring. I also have a design for a solar oven that will be coming this spring.
I see you have subscribed to my videos, Thank You. Keep watching, and as I say, this spring I should have them ready to go.
Thanks Again!

I guess you tried various pans maby? I think a thick pan takes longer to heat up, however once it does it retains more heat energy (like a flywheel retains energy) and can release it. Good for occasional cloud cover when cooking maby.

Yes you are right about the thin vs thick pans and covers. Thanks for your comment!

I guess a lid on the pan would help with the hot air/steam side of the cooking.

Yes covering helps keep the heat in just like cooking on anything else. Thanks for the comment!
