Just How Does a Solar Slow Cooker Work?Every solar cooker has three parts. A reflector to collect and concentrate the sun's rays. Something dark to turn the light energy to heat. And some way to trap the heat for cooking.Can you spot these three elements in the solar slow cooker in this video ? (Click on the arrow, pause, then click again to view.) Weird looking, eh? but, as you saw, it really does work! What is unique about this cooker is using a turkey oven roasting bag to trap the heat. There is no heavy glass to break accidentally. Your food will cook almost exactly like a crockpot on "high". That's about 190 to 210 degrees F. The outside surface of your cooking pot will reach 285 to 310 degrees F. Like your slow cooker, your food will not burn. It'll be ready to eat when you are! Yes, there are better solar cookers out there. For a LOT more money! I own them, too. But, I still prefer this inexpensive, lightweight, ultra-portable and easy to repair model. It is just way handier! Clear shipping tape repairs any accidents to the reflector, short of running it over with the mulching lawnmower. (Which someone actually did! I won't admit how.) This model cooks great meals for tens of thousands of people every year. So, if you are just starting, learn to bake a blackberry cobbler in the sun (without spending a fortune on more expensive solar cookers)! You can now EAT VERY WELL without a power cord on your crockpot. For more info go to http://www.solar-slow-cooker.com
