The Hot Pot rocks!

I love the Hot Pot solar cooker. The high quality aluminum reflectors fold really flat for easy transportation. The glass bowl elminates the need for a plastic cooking bag as the heat-trapping agent. Food cooks just like it would in a slow cooker, but with the warmth of the sun instead of electricity. In countries where forests are being depleted for fuel sources, solar cookers are a great solution. I will point out that the CooKit solar cooker (www.solarcookers.org) with its plastic cooking bags remains ideal for developing countries because it is made with cardboard and aluminum foil, both of which are widely available in most places, and it is more affordable. You can buy both the Hot Pot and the CooKit from Solar Cookers International www.solarcookers.org

Great idea - wish they'd sell it direct

Solar household energy is delivering this cooking solution to the developed world. Its saving lives and saving forests. However, this NGO is limited in resources and thus uses a for-profit distributor in the US. I've used the pot. It works great. I can leave my lunch out, unattended to cook and wander off and do other things.

Solar Oven Burns

Stop by and see this wonderful, simple but efficient little solar stove. It is made of puzzle pieces of shiny metal that lays flat when unfurled but opens into a multi-sided reflector that catches sun rays. Inside is a specially designed glass bowl and lid that has a liner and an air trap to maximize the heat. A sweet potato or whole squash will cook in a few hours unattended. The product is packaged in a cardboard box ready to ship so we could have ovens on every street corner. An intelligent product.
