COOKING A POTATO WITH THE HELP OF SOLAR ENERGY!!!

Many people say "it's to hot these days." Then why not use the heat to cook food. So let's cook a potato with the help of the solar energy!!
(Note: This experiment can only be done in summers)


Materials:
A metal bowl
Fork 
Sticky tape
A small potato
Aluminium foil


Instructions
Cover the inner side of the metal bowl with the aluminium foil, the shiny side of the aluminium should face outwards. Make the aluminium foil as smooth as possible and place it in position using sticky tape.

Place the bowl outdoors in the sun at around noon.

Turn the bowl to face the sun regularly as it moves across the sky and use a fork to turn the potato every once in a while and observe that the heat warms the potato and the potato eventually cooks!!

Try this experiment with other food items too!!!
