The EB800D Solar Cooker is a parabolic solar cooker designed by William Bradley, founder of Earthbound Technology. According to the designer, it is a new type of solar cooker that is easier and less labor intensive to build than most parabolic cookers. The EB800D is primarily a multi-sided parabolic with the outermost portion of the parabola replaced with a conic section, and built using the nomenclature of the metric system to add individuals more familiar using metric. The design is quite similar to the Hypar Solar Cooker, also designed by Earthbound Technology.

Bradley feels the EB800D cooker is safer than typical parabolic cookers because, with the multisided parabola, the focal point is spread over a focal area. Also, the focal area is located inside the Hypar cooker making it safer than cookers that have the focal point located outside the cooker.
