Here is a short video showing how I converted an old satellite dish into a highly effective parabolic solar cooker. In this video I cooked two eggs which tasted delicious.
The parabolic solar cooker was made using chrome reflective vinyl, which has a self-adhesive backing and offers a superb mirror-like finish.
Fancy building a parabolic solar cooker which can cook food and boil water in less than 30 minutes.
On special offer is a range of parabolic paper templates which have been designed and printed using specialist CAD software, accurate to 0.01mm and printed on high gloss 80gsm paper.

Building a parabolic solar oven really isn’t as difficult as it may seem, once the basics are first understood.
There are many popular solar cookers in use today, including the Sun Oven, Sports Solar Oven, and the Cookit, to name but a few. However they all adopt either the solar box or solar trough design. Very few designs are actually parabolic, those that are, are generally quite expensive like the SK-14, compared to the more popular designs. The box solar cooker for example, is simply a cardboard box with reflective panels and a pane of glass which traps hot air in a box.
