There is an increasing rat race in the quest to harness natural and green energy resources, with more and more daily innovations of green products, technology crazy people are going back into natures lap.
A fine example is Brook Kavanagh, chef at the French bistro La Palette in Toronto, a recent convert with recipes for e.g. tewing roasting vegetables, and for souffles and baked custards in ovens at a perfect temperature of about 350 degree. Further, he is planning to invent and install a solar cooker on top of his house.
Cooking with sun, he said:
The food tastes the same. The benefit is that it’s not using any electricity or gas.
It’s not a new concept, but more a conventional one and long been a domain wilderness campers to make backwoods brownies. With the passage of time, some new heating methods replaced it having advantages of some kind.
in the collective consciousness for global warming, growing number of urban dwellers are turning to solar grills and ovens to whip up carbon-free meals at home.
Clean, convenient, non-polluting, safety of children and easy on the environment are few advantages of Solar cookers which is attracting more and more people back to it and no doubt provides cheap, low-tech way to prepare meals.
In places with poor energy infrastructure like developing nations, rural areas, refuge camps etc. where much of the cooking is done over wood fires, using twigs and branches, solar cookers can literally save lives.
Even in market, many solar products and many organizations such as Solar Cookers International (SCI) are spreading this concept and awareness about methods to harness sun energy. Anybody can make their own ovens out of cardboard boxes or purchase high-end versions that start just below $200 apiece and run upwards of $600.
Now it’s our duty to prefer a green product instead of a modern one which may have some advantages but with a hard attitude towards the environment. Let’s make our contribution.
