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

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 those ingredients necessary for many solar cooking recipes.

Basic information, tips and suggestions for the Solar Burner Parabolic

  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.

The "Solar Burner" is the only solar cooker that does not come pre-assembled due to its size, dimensions and structure.This parabolic solar cooker requires assembly by the customer, but can be easily accomplished following the detail/instruction sheet included with the parabolic.But, just in case there are some doubts or questions, we have decided to also include photos of the process. Below we have included some photos of the varying stages of assembly of the "Solar Burner" to better facilitate the assembly of your own parabolic.
