Comments on Sierra's review of CooKit
The many benefits of the CooKit!
The CooKit is a simple solar cooker made from cardboard and aluminum foil. It is light-weight, folds flat and if properly taken care of it can last for years. Domestically this cooker can help reduce gas and electricity usage as well as replace the need for fire to cook when camping. In developing nations the CooKit helps preserve forests, protects women from the effects of indoor smoke inhalation, reduces time spent collecting firewood, increases economic standing, and pasteurzies water. This cooker is ideal for the developing world because it is made of materials that are widely available so it can be easily reproduced. I love the CooKit, and so will you! The one non-green element is that it depends on the principle of the Greenhouse effect, which requires use of a plastic bag to trap heat. The bags that are sold with the CooKit can be used between 10 and 15 times before they need replacement. They can be replaced with oven-roasting turkey bags from the local grocery store. As an alternative to this, some people have placed glass containers over the black pot. For more information please see www.solarcooking.org
