This solar cooker has been designed by Suresh Vaidyarajan - an architect, who has found a simple solution for a tough problem. For the last one year he has been cooking his food in this solar cooker. This is the simplest solar cooker I have ever seen. 1. There is a tremendous shortage of wood, kerosene and fuel for cooking. But can we not use the tremendous heat of the sun to cook food? 2. Take an old car tube. If the tube is punctured get it patched. Inflate the tube and keep it on a wooden board. 3. Take an aluminum cooking vessel with a lid. Paint it black from the outside. Put all the ingredients for cooking Khichdi - rice, daal, salt, water etc. in the cooking pot. 4. Place the cooking vessel inside the tube. Cover the tube with a piece of plain glass. Within three hours the Khichdi will get cooked. 5. What happens? The place in the well of the tube is like a closed cavity. Air neither go out nor come in. The rays of the sun enter the glass and get trapped. Slowly, the temperature of the cooking vessel rises and the Khichdi gets cooked. |

it would cook anything, i would put a thermometer in it somewhere and record time and temps for awhile, so you don't kill yourself good idea though, i wonder how hot it can get? enough to sterilize water? if it could even distill water, which it would, you could turn salt water into freshwater "By way of deception, thou shalt do war."

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 111518Khichdi (also khichri, khichdee, khichadi, khichuri, khichari and many other variants) (Urdu: کھچڑی ), is a South Asian rice dish made from rice and lentils (dal). Khichdi is commonly considered to be India's comfort food, and was the inspiration for the Anglo-Indian dish of kedgeree. |

Wait, wait. I know I'm behind the curve, but what is a car tire tube? I know the actual tire, but you need the wheel to inflate the tire. Where tubes in the old days? Where does one get a tube now? I also know this is an old forum, but still available no? |
