A solar kitchen is proposed as a personal investigation. It allows heat a little steel plate (as a griddle) or pot. It is made using the geometric properties of the parabola that can concentrate the solar rays into a focus. The principal difficulty of the project is to let the cylinder orientate without losing the horizontality of the griddle. The prototype can concentrate fifteen times the solar energy into the griddle, getting around of 600 W (in a sunny day at summer in 40ยบ latitude).

by rotating around the focus axis, the cylinder can be oriented
with the solar height angle (h): from 20 to 70 degrees. |

| the cylinder can be oriented around two axes |
 |
| focus axis - solar height (h) |
 |
| vertical axis - azimuth (A) |
