How parabolic solar cookers will look when completed.
Notes: -
Suggested reflective materials for solar cookers…
- Aluminium foil is a great reflective material for building cost effective solar cookers,
- Advantages – Cheap, easy to use.
- Disadvantages – Creases and tares easily.
- Reflective mirror vinyl is the perfect material for the home hobbyist solar cooker build.
- Advantages – Self adhesive backing and highly reflective makes mirror vinyl easy to use and apply to any material.
- Disadvantages – none.
- Anodized Aluminium.
- Advantages – Highly reflective.
- Disadvantages – Expensive and difficult to handle / cut.
NB – Please note that reflective materials require a backing material, such as cardboard. For parabolic solar cookers, a suitable backing material is plastic sheeting (ABS, polyprop, HIPS approx 2mm thick) – not included with parabolic solar cooker templates.
- 5 metres x 610mm reflective chrome mirror vinyl
Only $30USD (£20GBP) + $15USD postage to USA/Canada.

Hi Rob, long time no look at your site – temporary, I hope, absence from blogging. I like the templates, will order when my paypal a/c gets stocked up. Hope you are well, will bookmark your site and try to remember to visit more often. Playing too much chess instead of blogging! Can you perhaps re-review the old Dr-Awsom – I laughed just now when I saw your review following our disagreement! Dr.A is mostly harmless really! Go well, and drop me a mail. Bob

I have always been a fan of anything that is solar-powered. I believe that everything should be made that way, if possible.

This is really cool. I think a lot more people should use solar energy. We have an old solar cooker at home. So during the sommer we cook rice in it.
