In order to increase the solar radiation
entering the hot box, additional reflectors have been incorporated
to reduce the cooking time. In this cooker, twin reflector
mirrors (unbreakable acrylic mirror) are fixed. It is effective
in central and North India especially in winter season. It
is useful for cooking food and baking. As compared to the
box type solar cooker with one mirror available in the market,
the twin reflector box type cooker is capable of maintaining
25 to 30°C higher temperature. It saves 20% time spent
in cooking food drying winter and 12- 16% of time during other
months.
