Abstract: The depletion of conventional energy sources and their adverse effects on the environment have fetched the attention of global researchers on the renewable sources of energy. Solar energy is freely and abundantly available and can be effectively utilized in many domestic/industrial applications. Cooking being one of the biggest consumers of energy is an essential component of human lives. Using wood or cow dung as primary source of thermal energy for cooking lead to harmful pollution and unhealthy global environment. The cooking utilizing the solar energy has evolved with many updates over the last few decades.
