[Stoves] solar cooking in time Re: Others may know this but it new to me WILSON SOLARCOOKER

[Dr.-Ing. Dieter Seifert]

Dear Otto and list,

The answer to Paal's question "What shall you do With a solar cooker, when the sun set and People like to have their warm supper
after a long day in the fields?" is very simple: The meal was prepared in the time when the sun was shining, than the pots
were transferred to hay boxes/hay baskets and all is ready and warm for eating just when people arrive (described e.g. in the book "Fireless Cookery" Seattle 1981)
In the case of cooking with firewood instead of that, the meal has to be cooked and people have to wait hungry or they have to collect firewood.

  

In 2011 my wife noted the number of days she cooked with our parabolic cooker (Alsol 1.4) with 1.4 m reflector diameter.
On 157 days she cooked all meals of the day, she baked and made conserves and she did not touch her electric stove in the kitchen,
because solar cooking in the garden gives more pleasure, needs less attention etc. In regions with scarcity of firewood
there is regularly more sunshine per year than here in Upper Bavaria.

I think that traditions (also e.g. that the rice has to taste of smoke 
etc.) should be abandoned before the last tree disappeared.


With best wishes
Dieter
