Commonly, when a group of people in fuel-short areas witness their first solar cooking demonstration and taste their first solar cooked food, the skepticism is replaced by high enthusiasm. After the initial enthusiasm wears of, differences from person to person again become more noticeable. Some people will avidly pursue solar cooking, some won't care, and many will be interested but will need more encouragement before taking action toward becoming a solar cook.

abstract	Commonly, when a group of people in fuel-short areas witness their first solar cooking demonstration and taste their first solar cooked food, the skepticism is replaced by high enthusiasm. After the initial enthusiasm wears of, differences from person to person again become more noticeable. Some people will avidly pursue solar cooking, some won't care, and many will be interested but will need more encouragement before taking action toward becoming a solar cook. When solar cookers are introduced briefly with little follow-up, little adoption of solar cooking results. However, when a long term program of awareness creation, skills-teaching, follow-up, and trouble-shooting is put into place, adoption of solar cooking does take place. As with most innovations, adoption does not happen all at once. In any community, some people are more interested in being innovators than others, some actively resist change, and most people are somewhere in the middle. For example, Solar Cookers International managed a project in a refugee camp in Ethiopia where training, follow-up, encouragement and trouble-shooting were provided for a few years, 94% of the families adopted solar cooking to some extent, including 22% who used their solar cookers almost every sunny day. The solar cooking age is still in its infancy. In no country yet is there a majority of people who know how to solar cook. Instead, as a result of efforts by various individuals and small groups, there are pockets of solar cooks scattered in many places around the world. See: Most significant solar cooking projects
