Hi

Solar powered village:

What's missing from the descriptions is how the cooker works. The hot oil flows through to a hollow steel construction, providing heat for cooking. Temperature is regulated by adjusting the rate of flow. Originally think they used inbuilt double-walled pots, with the oil flowing between the walls. This cooked the food from below and the sides.

Also see these nifty solar ovens, which don't need to be moved as the sun moves:

Yes, I have one, and it works :-)

Cheers, Ian
