Hi
Why do we use a mirror in solar cooker?

Concave mirrors are used in solar cookers. This is because they are the only type of mirrors that reflect sunlight to a single focal point. Concave mirrors absorb all the incident light and reflect it to a single focal point. This reflected light is very powerful because it carries a lot of thermal energy.
