A solar cooker is a device that uses the energy of direct sunlight to heat, cook or pasteurise food or drink. Many solar cookers presently in use are relatively inexpensive, low-tech devices, although some are as powerful or as expensive as traditional stoves. Advanced, large-scale solar cookers can cook for hundreds of people. Because they use no fuel and cost nothing to operate, many non-profit organisations are promoting their use worldwide in order to help reduce fuel costs (especially where monetary reciprocity is low) and air pollution, and to slow down the deforestation and desertification caused by gathering firewood for cooking. Solar cooking is a form of outdoor cooking and is often used in situations where minimal fuel consumption is important, or the danger of accidental fires is high, and the health and environmental consequences of alternatives are severe.
