[Stoves] Delhi clean cooking forum meeting

[Dr. Dieter Seifert]

Dear Anil,

Was the completely clean "cooking with retained heat" discussed at the 
clean cooking forum? It avoids health damage, costs, emissions, and it 
may save 50% fuel consumption because it replaces a large part of the 
active cooking process. Information can be found on the SCl website: 
http://solarcooking.wikia.com/wiki/Heat-retention_cooker.

Best wishes
Dieter
