Which Solar Cooker Cooks the Best? Testing 3 Solar Cookers Side-By-Side

http://www.GreenJoyment.com
We took three solar cookers, and compared their performance side-by-side, in how they did for cooking 4 cups of water. It was a windy day, so the cookers may not have performed the best they could... but we tested a solar funnel cooker, a solar cookit, and the eagle solar cooker.

We had a lot of fun testing these cookers, and you can see some of the food we cooked in these cookers on our web site.

too much yapping and not enough info

@wa4aos Thank-you for your feedback. I will keep it in mind for future videos I make.

It is my understanding that using the glass bowl method, the container within the glass bowl needs about an inch of space on all sides to work correctly. I'd be damn careful about using non-oven safe plastic inside a cooker as well, as it's likely to outgas. Thanks. :D

@53Aubergine That's a couple of really great tips. Thank-you!

black cooking pot works much better than aluminum foil containers

@tontomcepstein most definitely agreed. I learned that in this process and would do it differently now. How is your solar cooking going?

@strive4impact Thanx for quick reply! The only problem is that it is hard to carry box cooker and harder to produce, especially from the commercial point of view. I would like to sell them here in Palestine therefore I have to make them portable so it will be possible to pass Zionist entity roadbloacks

@StatusinStatu Check out this one: watch?v=tt1DgZp0n2g&feature=re­lated He got this one to 240 on video and 350 off camera.

@StatusinStatu It is definitely possible in a box cooker. A parabolic reflector solar cooker can boil water in 20 minutes or less. A fresnel lens focused on a pot can boil water faster than a stove. The hottest I got with these cookers was 170F, so not hot enough to boil water, but hot enough to kill bacteria. I didn't quite understand how this worked then... but I learned a lot and know what to do next time.

I was told by my friend David Delaney that it is impossible to boil water in panel / box cooker? Did you succeed?
