A solar oven works in the next way the mirrors receive the rays of the sun and then make a reflection and back to the dish that is in preparation. The accumulation of rays is bigger and it increases the temperature is preferable to use a dark pot because the absorption of the rays can be done more effectively and this way to cook is made by radiation.

The aluminum foils will help to reflect sunlight into the box.
