(The goal is to heat to 160
degrees Fahrenheit for at least six minutes.) With a stripe of
black paint scraped off the jar, one can look through the bag
and into the jar and see when the water is boiling - then it is
safe for sure.
Think of all the lives that can be saved simply by pasteurizing
water using a simple Solar Cooker!
VIII. Safety
Safety was my first concern in designing the Solar Funnel Cooker,
then came low cost and effectiveness. But any time you have
heat you need to take some precautions.
-The cooking vessel (jar) is going to get hot, else
the food inside won't cook. Let the jar cool a bit
before opening. Handle only with gloves or tongs.
-Always wear dark glasses to protect from the sun's rays.
We naturally squint, but sunglasses are important.
-Keep the plastic bag away from children and away from nose
and mouth to avoid any possibility of suffocation.
IX. Cooking with the Solar Funnel Cooker
What do you cook in a crock pot or moderate-temperature oven?
The same foods will cook about the same in the Solar Funnel
Cooker --without burning.
