Using the free energy of the sun, Olympus Flower Solar Cookers, offer hope to millions of people around the world, especially in Africa, where firewood is now in extremely short supply, and other methods of cooking, and heating water, are either too expensive or non-existent.
With solar cooking you use the cleanest, most environmentally friendly energy source. Sunbeams are bundled and directed towards the pot by the parabolic reflector. The sunbeams are converted to heat on the surface of a dark pot, and they can heat the pot to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit).
This makes the solar cooker also suitable for baking as in an oven and for frying and deep frying. The reflector has the shape of a paraboloid to concentrate the Sun’s energy efficiently. The deep curvature ensures that adjustment towards the Sun is required only every 20 minutes and that the hot pot is in a safe position.
Solar cookers save the emission of carbon dioxide in regions that are affected by the firewood crisis. You therefore save a large amount of money over the many years they can be used.

How’s the business going?
Slowly but surely… summer has just begun. Will be out & about with them in Walkerville area and hoping to do Brits too. Been working with them in Ndedwe Northern Zululand. Proposal for government
I finally used a solar cooker and solar oven at the Rainbow gathering recently, and I can vouch for them. It takes about 10 minutes to boil water on the big parabolic dish, and I’m sure the smaller ones are just as efficient. Check it out, and let your friends know about this great way of cooking
Walkerville? I live near there!
I’m feeling the call of this lifestyle strongly and want to move there pretty soon.
Empowered fundraising, here we c
come
We made chutney in ours, came out fantastic..yours seem to be a much newer model then ours ;(
Yes, the one we used is a newer model, the focal point is outside the parabola, whereas the one’s in the pic above look to have the focal point within the parabola.
Don’t they have demo models that needs testing?
I am demonstating at the Agricultural Festival 5th Nov in Walkerville and hope to be at the Organic market there on saturdays. They bake, make curries and stews, heat water and even hot rocl
Please get in touch with Sufy Meritocracy and Crosby at http://sunfire.co.za though I think that the one at KD is from sunfire anyway
Walkerville far far way….
Right next door for me here in Jozi, you should also get in touch with Sharon Ollewagen to see if they can sponsor you one of these cookers to demonstrate at KD, Rika Scheepers and you can blog about it on your site!
Thanks Haroun, will send Sharon and message…
its worth investing,as we can cook for free of cost,
