The mirror consists of flat hexagonal panels of aluminized Mylar inside of a parabolic framework. The flat panels uniformly illuminate (evenly heat) the bottom of the frying pan, which sits above the mirror. The flat panels make this mirror safe to use for cooking because they don’t ever concentrate the sun in just one place, which can burn the cooks or start fires. The pan bottom is coated with a special black surface that only emits very low levels of radiation. The black surface keeps the fryer from losing as much as half the power it gets from the sun. The pan’s nonstick surface is made from anodized aluminum whose pores are filled with cooking oil.

abstract	The mirror consists of flat hexagonal panels of aluminized Mylar inside of a parabolic framework. The flat panels uniformly illuminate (evenly heat) the bottom of the frying pan, which sits above the mirror. The flat panels make this mirror safe to use for cooking because they don’t ever concentrate the sun in just one place, which can burn the cooks or start fires. The pan bottom is coated with a special black surface that only emits very low levels of radiation. The black surface keeps the fryer from losing as much as half the power it gets from the sun. The pan’s nonstick surface is made from anodized aluminum whose pores are filled with cooking oil. The retail cost of the materials (in the United States) to construct the solar fryer is about $100 (US), but the estimated cost for bulk manufacturing is only about $25(US). Most of the construction requires only hand tools, which is ideal for local production in East Africa. The design is scalable, making it relatively easy to construct smaller or larger fryers, if desired. More information on this cooker is available at Alan Gallagher's website. Included is a detailed description of the construction, an explanation of how the reflector is adjusted throughout the day to maximize cooking heat, as well as, information on the unique challenges faced when cooking injera bread with solar power.
