  • 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!

  • 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).
