The orientation and shape of reflectors that focus light on the cooking pot can often be calculated using some fairly simple geometry. Basically, the light from the sun will be coming to the solar cooker in parallel rays. Light will hit the reflector at a particular angle, and then bounce off towards the cook pot at the same angle. The theory is the same for box, panel, or parabolic solar cookers. The idea is illustrated below:
