Although improved techniques for using solar energy are not that well-known,they nevertheless provide better results in terms of economy, ecology, quality and simple usage. Solar cookers and driers capture the sun’s rays to heat and dry food.This guide presents simple methods for construction and use of solar cookers and driers: a box cooker, a solar panel cooker, a direct solar drier and an indirect solar drier. Easy to make and use independently, they provide an economical way to meet the food processing needs of diverse populations.The solar cooker saves time, money and energy at no risk for the environment.It can be used to cook all types of food (vegetables, fruits, meat, cereals,bread, etc.).
