Solar cookers use direct sunlight to cook food. Some solar cookers use reflectors to cook food, and therefore extreme caution should be used when cooking with them.

Can you use a oven safe dish even though the recipe call for dutch oven?

Not always. Some recipes calling for a dutch oven are first heated on the stove top to brown meat before adding other ingredients and placing in the oven. Most "oven safe" dishes are not safe to use on the stove top burners. But it would be safe to brown the meat in a skillet then transfer it to an oven safe dish for oven cooking.

Why can you only use precooked food in a solar oven?

That simply isn't true. You can cook anything in a solar oven - you can even bake cakes or cookies, if the solar oven is well-built. We do that here at my home. However, please note that cooking takes quite a bit longer in a solar oven than on a gas stove, so you may have to plan a bit more in advance.

Which is better solar oven or electric oven?

that depends on what you mean by "better." Solar ovens can operate without any electricity or gas, but then, you cannot use a solar oven at night or on cloudy days. Electric ovens can be set at specific temperatures, which is more difficult to do with solar ovens. Electric ovens cost quite a bit of money, while a solar oven can be made with not much more than a cardboard box and aluminum foil. So it all depends on your circumstances and what you are trying to do.
