To evaluate performance of concentrating solar cookers, we have designed and constructed parabolic solar cooker. Tests are carried out to define the performance characteristic of concentrating cookers under the ambient conditions. Performance and test of solar cooker were followed the international standard procedure that was proposed at the Third World Conference on solar cooking Stagnation temperature and water heating test are carried out to determine the maximum temperature attained by cooker and evaluate the thermal performance of the cooker, respectively.

To evaluate the performance of concentrating solar cookers, a parabolic solar cooker have been designed and constructed. Tests were carried out to define the performance characteristics of concentrating cookers under ambient conditions. The performance and test of the solar cooker were measured and conducted using the international standard procedure that was proposed at the Third World Conference on solar cooking. Stagnation temperature and water heating tests were carried out to determine the maximum temperature attained by the cooker and to evaluate the thermal performance of the cooker. The analysis showed that the solar cooker has maximum cooking power and efficiency 474W, 420W and 41%, 40%, respectively.
