Solar cookers are less useful in cloudy weather. This is the main disadvantage of solar cookers.
Yes, a solar cooker can work in cloudy weather, but its efficiency drops. It needs sunlight, even diffused light, to generate heat. On partly cloudy days it may cook slowly, while on heavily overcast days it may not reach safe cooking temperatures. Insulated box-type solar cookers perform better than panel cookers in such conditions. If you enjoy traditional, energy-efficient cooking methods, pairing them with handcrafted brass and copper utensils from http://www.brassglobe.com makes your cooking setup even more sustainable and authentic.
