Teong writes of himself, "I was born in Taiping, a small town in Malaysia. I went to Canada to further my studies when I was 19. I studied Mechanical Engineering at the McGill University in Montreal. While at McGill, I was required to work on a heat transfer experiment at the Brace Research Institute. It was at Brace Research Institute that I first came across a few solar cookers that were being designed as an alternate cooking method for people facing fuelwood shortages. Those solar cookers left a great impression on me, and I read everything I could get my hands on about solar cooking at Brace.

Those solar cookers left a great impression on me, and I read everything I could get my hands on about solar cooking at Brace. In 1998, while surfing the Internet, I stumbled upon the Solar Cooking Archive, which rekindled my interest in solar cooking after a long break. Upon trying out a few homemade solar cookers, I realized that people would be more likely to give solar cooking a chance if it is simple and easy enough to do. Being an engineer, I felt that I should be able to do something about that, and since then I have acquired a new hobby in designing simple solar cookers and making improvements to existing solar cooker designs. I share what I have learned or came up with through Solar Cookers International, an organization that I felt is best positioned and established to help disseminate solar cooking information and knowledge. So far, it has been very rewarding for me just knowing that other people are finding good use for the simple solar cookers that I have created because they were easy to construct and use."
