Solar Cooker?
Question:
I am looking for people who have actually made a successful solar cooker, but I will still accept answers from those who have some ideas!
I will not make my solar cooker the exact same as ANY answers given here; I would just like to know some advice on how to make a good one.
Thanks!

Fairly easy to boil water with sunlight...
Take an umbrella and force it to open backward. Line the resulting "bowl" with aluminum foil. Focus your new crude parabolic mirror on a cup of water.
Basically all you need is a good set of reflectors to concentrate the sun's rays (much like a magnifying glass). You will need to coordinate the angles in a tight cluster unless you can have just one bowl-shaped reflector. In India they have been using solar cookers for years.
You could use old mirrors perhaps to make the reflectors.
