Solar Cooker users.

The majority of people using solar cookers (also known as solar ovens) live predominantly in 3rd World countries; especially India, China, Africa and Tibet. However, Western countries are beginning to harness and adopt this cheap and sustainable form of energy with America, and Europe paving the path forward.

  • Many women, especially refugees, trek many miles to obtain cooking fuel, and the reliance on wood for fuel has led to deforestation in many areas. SCI and other organizations help impoverished communities gain access to solar ovens to cook food, pasteurize water and sterilize medical equipment.
  • Tibet and China are the most prolific users of solar cookers due to their limited firewood supplies - there are few trees in Tibet. Approximately 100,000 solar cookers are sold in China every year.

If you’ve built a solar oven and you would like to share your experiences, we would love to hear from you.

Why not submit your photos (coming soon, in the mean time please email me your photos) and share your experiences with everyone else.

    We’re working with a couple of spanish eological groups in putting on solar cooking demos in various places in the summer months . - displaying all the various types available and describing the drawbacks of each .
    One encouraging factor is that the local equivalent of the forestry commission who’ve just been around sealing off all the barbecues have given the GSO the blessing for use ..they won’t countenance parabolics ..considered a potential fire hazard ..disappointing as they are safe in the right hands ..
    but happy with the GSO result .. Must have been the arroz meloso with fish we prepared for 5 of them ( in 2 two GSO’s ..for 8 ) !
