Make Solar Cooker:

Welcome, to all who have come searching for "enlightenment" on the subject of Solar Cooking.

On this site we will shed some "sunlight"on a relatively new subject...the art of cooking your everyday food with the power of the Sun.

Admittedly the science of solar cooking is not that new, since it was first attempted on a controlled scale in the mid 1700s by French-Swiss scientist Horace de Saussure. These attempts were first reported in the first-published study of solar cooking in 1767.

Since that time though, relatively little has been accomplished in the field of solar cooking as far as feasibility and practicality on a large scale.

That is, little has been done until just recently...as recently as in the last twenty years.

Much has been learned and applied in the field of Solar Cooking in these past couple of decades.
