Solar cookers

While solar cookers can be used at virtually any place, their efficiency depends very much on exactly where they are located. Because these cookers depend directly on the amount of sunlight and UV rays captured and utilized, those places that do not have much sunlight are unlikely to be conducive to producing nice meals in the cookers.
People who enjoy going on wilderness treks or hiking through the desert may already know that this environment is the best for cooking with solar energy. In order to thoroughly cook food while using the sun as an energy source, it is vital to have a lot of sunlight over the course of several hours. Even if the sun is very hot for one hour, this will not be enough to properly cook the food.
The latitudes between the Equator and 40 degrees tend to be the most productive places where solar cookers will work. Those who are in North America and hope to be able to use solar cooking methods may be disappointed to find out that most of the climates on the continent are not accommodating.
Although places like the states, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and Utah could be good places to use solar cooking methods, the rest of the continent is not.
Actually, the five places on the earth that are the best places where solar cookers would work best are all far away from North America. These countries (in descending order) are:
Nigeria, Ethiopia, Pakistan, China and India. India is the best country for the use of solar cookers simply because it has a lot of sunlight, and there is a lack of cooking fuel to be used in the country. That means that many people turn to using solar cookers instead of what might be thought of by others as more traditional methods.
