INSTRUMENT USING THE PRINCIPLE OF PHYSICS
(SOLAR OVEN)
Materials:
Carboard box
Aluminum Foil
Glass or transparent plastics sheet
Insulating materials like newspaper or hay
Cooking racks or trays
Food used for cooking
Procedure:
1. Prepare the Solar Oven:
- Line the inside of the cardboard box with aluminum foil to reflect sunlight into the box.
- Create a clear window on the top of the box using the glass or transparent plastic sheet.
2. Insulate the Oven:
- Fill the space between the inner and outer walls of the box with insulating materials like newspaper or
hay to retain heat.
3. Preheat the Oven:
- Place the solar oven in direct sunlight to preheat it. This step ensures that the oven reaches the desired
cooking temperature.
4. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Arrange the food items on cooking racks or trays suitable for solar cooking.
5. Cooking Process:
- Place the prepared food inside the solar oven.
- Adjust the angle of the oven to maximize exposure to sunlight.
- Allow the food to cook slowly in the solar oven, monitoring the cooking progress periodically.
6. Check for Doneness:
- Use a thermometer to ensure that the food reaches the desired temperature for safe consumption.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the food is cooked, carefully remove it from the solar oven. - Serve the delicious solar-cooked food
to enjoy the fruits of sustainable cooking.
How It Works: The solar oven's ability to capture and concentrate sunlight, convert it into heat, and
maintain a consistent cooking temperature through insulation and heat retention mechanisms allows for
efficient and slow cooking of a variety of dishes. By regulating the oven's position to optimize sunlight
exposure and monitoring the internal temperature, users can cook a wide range of foods while reducing
their reliance on traditional cooking fuels. Solar ovens offer a versatile and environmentally beneficial
cooking solution that promotes clean energy practices, reduces carbon footprint, and supports sustainable
living.
