Summer 2011: we are preparing a cooperation project with a little community in Gambia, to test how solar cookers and related technologies fits with local gastronomy. We are interested in contacting other NGO's with experience in Gambia. NEWS SOON!
Summer 2010: see photos of the First Solar Cookers Meeting in Mallorca.
Juny 2008: see photos of the "Solar cooking workshop" at the Environmental Day.
March 2006: Marc Ayats made a parabolic solar cooker by purchasing an umbrella, covering the inside with ordinary aluminum foil and cutting off the handle (because the handle would be at the focal point of the reflector — where you must put your cooking pot). He used ordinary white adhesive to glue the reflective sheet to the umbrella’s cloth. He says it is a very simple cooker to make because umbrellas are normally parabolic in shape. He also says it is easy to move — it folds up like a regular umbrella. The pot is held in place with a wire frame used for holding flower pots.
