Abstract

In Bangladesh it is very difficult to use solar cookers during the months when the days are generally cloudy and at times solar cooking becomes impossible. To overcome such problems for a box-type solar cooker, we have used an auxiliary source of energy inside it. This is done with the help of a built-in heating coil inside the cooker or a retrofit electric bulb in a black painted cylinder. It is found that the use of auxiliary sources allows cooking on most cloudy days.
