Parabolic Solar Cooker: Photos and images of the "Solar Burner"

  A Parabolic Solar Cooker is a great addition to any solar oven or solar panel cooker.

Not only does it give you added capacity, but it can help speed up your cooking process altogether.

Although most foods are better when they are slow cooked in a solar box or panel cooker, there are times when it is nice to be able to boil, fry, and saute more quickly; the ingredients necessary for many solar cooking recipes.

  We have decided to include in our line of solar cookers a nice, well designed and economical parabolic solar cooker, available right here in the United States, making it much more feasible to own and use your very own parabolic cooker.

* Note: The Solar Burner is manufactured overseas,where most solar cookers/parabolics are, thus the "finish" and "detail" quality are not quite as fine or, to standard, as can be found in US or European manufacturing plants. This does not affect the effectiveness or capacity of the cooker, but rather more so the "aesthetic" aspects.
