Solar Cooking Advice and etc...

The most important skill I learned while building the solar cooker and using it to make something would probably knowing exactly where and how to position the materials in your cooked. It's difficult because one wrong adjustment can lower the temperature drastically.if you're planning on making a cooker in then near future, I would suggest you take your time. Also do your research to make sure you're building it right. Next time I would probably make a parabolic cooker. The box cooker my group and I made didn't turn out so well. We tried to make cookies but it didn't work. I guess it's because it didn't get hot enough. If I had to do something differently, I would not put as much tinfoil on. The reason is because I think we out it on in the wrong places and the sunligjt reflected off of it. My cooker didn't even get up to more than 110°F.
