Construction: It consists of an insulated metal box which is painted black from inside the box has a thick glass sheet as a cover over the box. The reflector is a plane mirror which is attached to the box.

Working: Whenever the food is required to be cooked the solar cooker is kept in the sun. It is so adjusted that its reflector receives a strong beam of light and reflect it in the solar cooker. The reflected rays pass through the glass sheet cover and gets absorbed by the black surface in the box more and more solar radiations get trapped in the box due to green effect which increase the temperature to about 100°C-140°C.
