Solar parabolic cookers usually have a disk around them, which is concave and focuses the sun’s rays. These cookers can reach a higher temperature than the solar box cooker or solar panel style cooker. These cookers can be used for normal cooking as well as grilling and frying. However, for efficiency and proper working of the cooker, its disk needs to be kept adjusted at all times. This is because the sun’s position in the sky changes every hour. The disk also has to be adjusted according to the temperature required at various phases of cooking. So a more experienced person can handle it. The capacity of this cooker is much less than that of a solar box cooker or panel-style cooker. This is because the size of the cooking pot is small. The solar parabolic cookers have a complicated construction and have a complex design. Many technicalities need to be maintained. Hence, these cookers are usually of higher quality and more expensive than the other two types.
