very interested in how this cooker will perform…
Great design!
Very unique solar cooker design. I like how you tested different insulating materials to come up with the best material for your cooker. Your table was a little confusing though. Also wish you would have focused more on the actual cooker rather than on the parabolic lens. Nice menu and plenty of FFF ingredients.
