Eco Factor: Cooker powered by solar thermal energy. Researchers are on their toes to develop ingenious and high-tech solutions to battle the energy crisis. While state-of-the-art green technology is an utmost necessity for a better future, low-tech devices and gadgets also have an important role to play. Recently we saw an inventor winning $75,000 as prize money for a solar cooker that costs just $5 and now we have another solar cooker that costs more but ensures that you never undercook your food. The Hot Pot Solar

Oven is a low-cost, high-performance solar oven that can reach cooking temperatures within an hour in full sun. The cooker comes with a 5.3-quart enameled steel pot and can reach temperatures up to 400 degrees, depending on the time the cooker is placed in the sun. The aluminum reflector folds down for easy storage. The cooker can be purchased at Amazon for $99. Via: 7Gadgets
