Going Parabolic
by One Happy Solar Cook
(Somewhere under the sun)
Frying an egg...sunny side up.
Over the past few years, I had been experimenting with my solar oven, and recently shared that story. After reviewing the various other products and stories on this site, I felt that it was time to add a "burner" to my oven. I bought the solar parabolic cooker a few weeks ago, set it up, and this weekend had a chance to test it out.
The early morning sun, 9 am, would be a good time to test this burner. It was 56F outside, and the sky was temporarily clear. Within minutes the burner was up to temperature, and I had eggs cooking, as if it was on the stove top. Amazing.

Thank you...? for your contribution.
Yes, it is great to be able to go above and beyond the capacity of a solar oven and to also be able to use the sun for grilling, frying and such.
Happy Solar Cooking
