News and recent developments
- August 2011: Two models of solar cookers demonstrated at the amusement Park 26 de Julio in Santiago de Cuba. This is only a part of the a project to introduce to the people to the use and practical advantages of solar cooking. This is the beginning of a big project, where we will introduce the solar cooker in many places of our city, like beaches, camping, work center, rural communities and schools. The mirror is of EverBrite, a special reflecting material. The cooker body is strong and compact and can be left in outside the home in all weather conditions.
