Product Information
SolaReflex AA Octagon Parabolic cooker
The Octagon Parabolic cooker was specially bent into this unique 8-sided parabolic cooking reflector.
This unique solar cooker design is a deep-tapered parabolic concentrator that spreads the entire hot spot across the 11” cooking area where the pot sits on the base. Dry heat temperatures inside the pot will reach above 350 degrees F, and midday cooking times average 45-90 minutes for 1-3 quart meals.
It’s an 8-surface deep-tapered parabolic concentrator that uses our new 95.5% reflective SolaReflex AA mirror surface, weather resistant anodized aluminum reflector panel and is fully adjustable to all angles of the sun for more consistent all day heating anywhere on earth.
It cooks fast because of all the concentrated reflected sunlight that completely covers an 11” cooking pot with over 350 degrees F of midday dry temperature heat, not just a 3” focal point hot spot. It cooks more completely so it’s better for cooking all types of food and baking bread. Fried or scrambled eggs will cook in about 12 minutes, while 2-3 pound roasts will be well done and browned in about 60-75 minutes of full midday sunlight.
A Solar distilling container (purchased separately) easily fits into the center cooking position on the base. It transforms any foul or salt water into ultra pure drinking water and as added feature, will also distill wine into brandy, and add the pure essence of any herb, spice or flower to your pure distilled water or spirits as the water vaporizes. This is a higher temperature distiller than our Solar Still Water Purifier that will vaporize water or alcohol at around 170 degrees F. One pint of fluid can be distilled per day.
This same container can also be used to bake bread by placing dough into a black pot with no lid, then as the bread bakes and moisture is released, it condenses on the clear pot cover and drips away from the bread, preventing the bread from becoming soggy.
Another upcoming option allows the solar cooker to use a Rival brand black one gallon slow cooker crock pot in the Octagon Parabolic cooker, and then if clouds unexpectedly cover the sun, the crock container can be lifted out of the optional clear insulating container and placed into the electric crock slow cooker to finish cooking indoors.
The Octagon Parabolic cooker is very lightweight at only six pounds, is weatherproof even in salt air environments, has excellent wind resistant on moderate wind days, easy to set up and use, and is collapsible to 12” for portability and lower shipping fees.
