/diy/ - Do It Yourself

There are also funnel cookers that do a pretty good job, but aren't as fast cooking a lot of the time. Depends on size really.

This is a solar funnel cooker. I used coat hanger wire to make the jar hanger and for making a cage so that the plastic shopping bag didn't touch the jar sides. It would have instantly melted if it had. The bag acts as a wind break and slight insulation. This works fairly well but is cumbersome to use because of its shape. I put scotch tape over a section of the jar then painted it and removed the tape so there would be a small viewing port to check if food it baking or boiling. The mason canning jar also acts to pressure cook the food. Don't make any kind of pasta in this as it will pressure cook it to oblivion and be HORRID. This is good for beans if you leave room for the foam.

Here is a solar funnel cooker I made. It works well enough, but you can't fold up the reflector. I abandoned this design because of that.
