Step - 01

Take a black coloured card paper and cut it in the size of the box. Paste the black card paper all over the card board box using Fevicol ELE. (The colour black is a good conductor of heat and retains heat).

Step - 02

Gently stick the inside part of the flap with an aluminum foil using Fevicol Ele. Let it dry thoroughly. This is the reflective surface. The foil-covered surface will be useful to focus the rays of the sun on the food to be cooked.

Step - 03

Cut a frame of card paper which covers the top of the box and stick a transparent plastic film inside the frame of the card paper with Fevicol Ele; this is your lid which will be used to trap the heat inside the cooker.

Step - 04

Your solar cooker is ready for use. Try cooking in glass bowls on a bright sunny day in the summers.

Step - 05

You could start with simple experiments like warming water, melting chocolate, etc. The world’s largest solar power plant is in Mojave Desert, California. The world’s largest solar cooker is in Shirdi, Maharashtra, India.
