It depends on which design of solar cooker you use. For a box type cooker, a good insulating cooking pot is essential. One that retains the heat such as an iron pot. Conversely, for parabolic cookers, due to the intense heat produced, any cooking vessel will suffice. Just make sure you don't use something which spontaneously combusts when placed in the focal point. Cooking pots is an interesting subject. It depends on which design of solar cooker you use.

My experiance tells me that glass ware pots or borosil types of vessels or empty glass bottles/jars are very good option. cooking rice in transparent glass vessels help you to know the state of cooking. covered metal pots is devoid of this advantage. poor peaple use low quality aluminium vessels. acidic effect of vegetables like tomoto corrades or dissolve highly harmful aluminium alloys in food. taste is bad. glass is inert and does not react with food chemicals. could you please design a double walled toughened glass cooking pots of say 1 to 3 litre size. waiting for your suggestions on cooking pots made especialy for use with solar cooker. thanks.

I would be more than happy to provide any more information on the construction of any type of solar cooker.

If you can not find that try a flashlight aimed at the Parabolic dish at night to set the focus. Robert Sloter for SumeetKumar or any one else
