Abstract
A cooking device cooks food by using solar radiation, charcoal or similar solid burnable fuels, heating candles, gas, or electricity. The cooker includes a base and solar reflectors along opposite sides of the base. The reflectors pivot with respect to the base to focus solar radiation along an axis extending parallel to the reflectors. Food is supported along or adjacent the axis for cooking. A grate within the base supports charcoal or similar fuels and a gas burner and electric heating element are also supported by the base for use in cooking. A container can be mounted within the base for holding food to be cooked.
Claims21
Cooking device comprising a base, food supporting means carried by said base for supporting food to be cooked, and a pair of solar reflectors having curved solar reflecting surface means extending along opposite sides of said food supporting means for focusing solar radiation into a linear beam along said food supporting means, and mounting means for pivotally mounting each of said solar reflectors on said base for pivoting with respect to one another and with respect to said base for focusing solar radiation for heating said food.
Cooking device comprising a base, food supporting means carried by said base for supporting food to be cooked, solar energy reflecting means for focusing solar radiation into a linear beam for heating said food, said solar energy reflecting means being movable from an active position for focusing solar energy into a linear beam for cooking said food to a passive position, and heat generating means carried by said base for cooking food supported on said food supporting means when the solar energy reflecting means is moved to the passive position.
