There may be a new, energy efficient way to roast food coming soon. According to InventorSpot, a food stand owner in Thailand has invented a solar powered roasting oven.The oven uses mirrors to focus sunlight on the food, and in the case of its inventor the food is chicken. The inventor says he got the idea from childhood memories of playing with magnifying glasses to focus sunlight. He claims that his oven can roast a small chicken in ten minutes on a sunny day and twenty when it's cloudy out.
The article also comments on the food stand owners' power bill: nothing. In a time of rising energy costs and environmental worries, this is the kind of invention that needs to be developed and promoted world wide. It's great for third world cooks, but I hope it can be developed for my kitchen as well.
