Cooking is fundamental to all humans, but here, in Nigeria, the process of cooking has a major drawback. To cook, we mostly make use of fossil fuels in the form of gas-powered cookers and kerosene-powered stoves. Cooking this way is expensive for the average Nigerian due to the cost of purchasing fuel, and it is also unsafe for the environment due to pollution. The most common alternative to this is making use of electric-powered cookers, but this is not very practical due to frequent power outages. The lack of access to affordable and clean energy poses a problem as it affects an activity as fundamental as cooking. For my project, I am developing a solar cooker- a device that harnesses the energy of the sun for cooking. This device consists of an insulated box for heat containment, a parabolic reflector to help direct the sunlight to a focal point, and a cooking pot that sits at the focal point in the insulated box. It has the following advantages over fossil-fueled cookers: - No risks of fire or choking by smoke - Zero emissions, thereby eliminating air pollution risks - Long-term cost savings due to no fuel usage
