How does solar box cookers?

Answer 1

Basically, a solar box cooker is a tin foil lined box. Food is placed inside and the box is pointed towards the sun. A glass cover keeps out draughts and traps the heat inside. The tin foil lined top of the box is angled to concentrate the rays directly towards the food.

Answer 2

theyre are a couple of ways to do it.

1st way: get 5 mirrors. (bottom, side, side, side) make them into a topless box. put a hotdog on a stick and put the stick diagonally in the box so its "jammed" into the corner so that it stays. put clear plastic wrap on the top to avoid buggy food and stick outside on a sunny day. check it every so often

2nd way: almost the same as the 1st way except it works if you dont have 5 mirrors handy. for this one you use cardboard and foil to make a mirror like thingy. but for this one you cant stick the stick into the sides of the box if you want. follow procedures for 1st way.
