Solar Sizzler

Description
The Solar Sizzler is a portable cooker. The reflector consists in 9 sections that once assembled with the central axis, form a parabolic structure with a diameter of 91,5 cm. The cooker's size and weight make it easy to transport. However the system also requires two bases to be able to cook: one to hold the plate so the cooker can be positioned towards the sun (as a camera tripod does) and another one for the cooking grill. The manufacturer sales both the reflectors and the bases, although any other kind of base may be used, even a homemade one. In sunny days, temperatures higher than 345 ºC in the focal point have been reported. Cooking times are similar to those in an electric cooker.
