The panel style Cookit, which is made of cardboard and aluminum foil is the simplest type of solar cooker. Advantages: It's very cheap, it can be manufactured anywhere by anyone; it works well with the lightweight aluminum pots that most refugees and others in the developing world already have; once the food is in, the cook can go off and do other things. The Cookit only needs to be turned once or twice during the cooking process to keep it facing the sun.

abstract	The panel style Cookit, which is made of cardboard and aluminum foil is the simplest type of solar cooker. Advantages: It's very cheap, it can be manufactured anywhere by anyone; it works well with the lightweight aluminum pots that most refugees and others in the developing world already have; once the food is in, the cook can go off and do other things. The Cookit only needs to be turned once or twice during the cooking process to keep it facing the sun. Issues: In order to best absorb infrared light, the cooking pot and lid must be painted black with non-toxic "blackboard paint" which is readily available in the developing world (in the U.S. we would use barbecue paint or just buy a black enameled pot); the pot must be placed inside an oven-proof plastic bag (like the one we use to cook turkeys at Thanksgiving) to concentrate the heat. The plastic bags wear out--each bag lasts for about a month. Temperatures range from 225-275 F. It takes two to three hours to cook a pot of beans or a chicken stew. The Cookit can last one to two years as long as it is kept dry and the goats don't get to it.
