*'''February 2013: Solar cooking and processing workshops in India''' - [[Celestino Ruivo]], of the [[Escola Superior de Tecnologia da Universidade do Algarve|Instituto Superior de Engenharia da Universidade do Algarve]] in [[Portugal]], traveled to [[India]] at the end of January to attend the 1st International Solar Food Processing Network workshop at the Muni Seva Ashram in Goraj, Vadodara, Gujarat, India. He brought with him 50 kg. of solar cooking bagage: 8 black pots, 16 glasses of windows cloth washing machines, corrugated sheet metal, reflective foil and tools to make low cost and effective portable funnel cookers. Creatively, Celestino used his suitcase as the mold to construct examples of his [[Celestino Solar Funnel Cooker|solar funnel cooker]] in concrete. He also gave a lecture about solar cooking and how to construct a funnel cooker at the CT institute in Punjab for more than 300 students, as well teaching solar cooking for ladies in domestic context at Jalandhar. The eight funnel cookers were donated to friends in Hyderabad, Mumbai, Muni Seva Ashram, Vadodara, Jalandhar and New Delhi.

*'''January 2013:''' The original funnel [[solar panel cooker]] was inspired by the [[CooKit]]. This efficient solar panel cooker was developed in 2007 using sheets of polypropylene. Recycled windows of clothes washing machines were used to create the greenhouse effect around the pot. A variation of the cooker made of concrete and common mirrors has been tested since 2009. Some of the main advantages of this solar cooker are: low cost reproduction in every part of the world using local available common materials, intuitive and practical use, water rain resistant and wind resistant and no risk for fire ignition. The useful heating capacity of this model was estimated around a value of 100 W.

*'''August 2008:''' Since becoming “well contaminated with the virus of solar cooking” at the 2006 International Solar Cookers Conference in [[Spain]], professor [[Celestino Rodrigues Ruivo]] has become an important advocate for solar cooking in Portugal and beyond. Ruivo credits Pedro Serrano, of [[Chile|Chile’s]] [[Red Iberoamericana de Cocinas Solares]] (RECOSOL), and others for helping him overcome his initial skepticism. Ruivo learned to solar cook using a “CooKit” given to him by Solar Cookers International (SCI). He has since made and used several types of solar cookers, mostly “low cost apparatus using recycled materials.” Over ninety percent of his meals are now cooked with solar energy. Ruivo started promoting solar cookers locally — at his home, in local schools and restaurants, etc. — and worked with local media. Then he broadened his scope to other regions of Portugal, and eventually to Brazil and Spain. He’s even becoming known in Australia, where an interview with Ruivo (taped during a solar cooker workshop he conducted for about 70 Scouts) was broadcast on Australia’s SBS television program “Dateline.” Ruivo conducts numerous promotional activities. He has held several solar cooker conferences at the University of Algarve, with sessions on the evolution of solar cookers in Portugal, solar cooker distribution strategies, and solar cooker construction. He has also assisted with solar picnics and participated in solar cooking contests. According to Serrano, Ruivo has “developed an intensive process to diffuse the technology, [organizing] workshops, symposiums, courses, etc. — more than 20 activities in only one year.” Though Ruivo admits to being somewhat tired, he says he will continue his efforts to “contaminate others with this solar cooking virus.”

*'''June 18, 2007:''' O Concurso “Sabor Solar”, decorreu dia 18 de Junho com muito sol e boa disposição no Chalé Dr. João Lúcio – Ecoteca de Olhão. Houve 26 participantes que nos surpreenderam pela originalidade dos fornos apresentados e criatividade na confecção das diversas receitas. O Júri atribuiu o primeiro prémio na Categoria A – até 15 anos – a Ana Betriz Ruivo, David Silva e Inês Soveral, que nos apresentaram um delicioso Bacalhau com Batatas à murro, confeccionado numa panela cheia de areia! O grupo da Escola E.B. 2,3 de Quarteira, recebeu uma menção honrosa. Na Categoria B – maiores de 15 anos – o Júri teve mais dificuldade em decidir, pois a diversidades de receitas era grande… O primeiro prémio foi atribuído a Sandro Bruno Giovagnoli, com o prato Couscous à Marinheiro. Foi ainda atribuída uma menção honrosa a Silvério Ventura. Esta foi uma iniciativa da Ecoteca de Olhão, que pretende estimular a utilização de fornos solares e proporcionar a partilha de saberes num ambiente de convívio, contribuindo desta forma para despertar o interesse da população pela Energia Solar.
