I tried challenging cooking with "SolSource" which can make jujutsu steak and fried egg just by sunlight

Solar power generation is attracting attention as an alternative energy and it becomes possible to charge electronic devices even in places where it is difficult to secure power supply such as camping place and disaster areaPortable solar power generation unit "Forty 2"Although it is very convenient, it is made by making it possible to produce energy with high performance, making powerful cooking possible than using a solar panel "SolSource"is. Since it means that it can be used irrespective of seasons and temperature, if it is a place where sunlight is hit, such as a garden or camping ground · balcony, I tried to verify how much power it is actually using.

◆ Assembly

SolSource is packed in a cardboard box and arrives. It is the size and weight that can be managed by two adults.


Opened. When you put the iPhone on the box, you can understand its huge size well.


There were five plates and a pin, a wrench for fixing the bar · framework which is a skeleton, a wrench, an instruction manual etc. were contained in it. The bar isElectrodeposition paintingIt is made of finished iron.


The method of assembly is not words but explanation is made only with figures.


Besides the screws, there is a pin like this and most of the fixing work is done using this pin.


First I took out a straight steel bar.


Insert this in the center part of SolSource ... ...


Insert the pin in the hole.


After applying the same work to all three places the foundation is completed.


Next we prepare an iron bar with bent ends


I will insert a stick to the foundation that I constructed earlier.


After fixing with a pin ......


Like this.


Here are the parts to assemble.


Insert the rod in the part where the frying pan is placed, and fix it with the pin.


Place it on the main body base.


Fix the contact part of the rod and the pin with a pin.


At this time, when working with alone, the upper and lower bars do not fit well, and it may fail to fix with a pin, so it is better to do the work by two people.


If you can do so far, the next step is to assemble the panel.


We prepare parts for hanging the panel from the main body ......


Hexagon socket · Loosening set screws are 22 sets, wrench · hexagon screwdriver.


We turn the two panels back and fix them with screws.


Secure the loosening lock screws securely using the wrench.


We also attach hanging parts to the panel.


When completed it is like this.


Create two sets of the above.


Place the remaining one panel in between.


When fixing with screws, five panels become one body.


Install a mirror for confirmation and a part for attaching a tie bar to the clearance which is only one panel worth of space.


When finished, hang the panel on the framework you created earlier.


The attached part looks like the following.


At this time, it is necessary to shape the tailstock attachment parts at the center of the framework and the tailstock attachment parts on the back of the panel to face each other.


And finally install a tying stick.


The length of the tie rod can be adjusted, and when the white part is closed, the length is fixed.


Length can be freely adjusted by releasing the white part.


I tried installing a tying bar.


Fix the main frame / panel and tightening rod with pins.



There is also a peg, but this time it is not used because the ground is concrete.


A finishing mirror for confirmation.


This is fixed to an iron rod attached between the panel and the panel, and it is to confirm that sunlight is irradiated on the back of the frying pan.


Fix with a butterfly bolt.


That's it. While photographing & assembling with one worker, the time it took is about an hour and a half.According to the official website, The time required for the first assembly is about 45 minutes when working by one person, the work itself is simple, so if you have ever assembled simple furniture, it seems that you can do without hesitation, because the body is large and heavy , It is better to work with more than two people if it is not powerful.


The time has passed since the sunset at the end of the assembly. The actual cooking will carry forward to the next day.

◆ I tried cooking actually

So I will actually try cooking using SolSource.


Firstly peel off the protective tape attached to the panel.


To clean the panel, just use water spray with mist and sprinkle before use and after use OK.


I will spray it with shoots.


This is about 153 cm tall editorial staff in the cooking space of SolSource.


Without using a tie stick and just hanging the panel sunlight will not gather in the cooking space, so you will not feel any heat at all by touching.


When I moved my hand at the top of the panel, there was a place where heat gathered at the place.


Place a frying pan above the cooking space.


There is no appearance to be heated at all.


In order to actually cook, it is necessary to point the SolSource in the direction of the sun and adjust the height of the panel by raising and lowering the tie rod so that the sunlight hits the cooking space well. Since the sun moves, adjust the direction of the body every 20 to 30 minutes.


Looking from the side like this. When the position of the sun is low, the light is finally gathered in the frying pan after the tight bars are extended to the last minute.


After confirming that light is gathered on the back of the frying pan with the mirror, preparation is completed.


First of all I will make fried eggs.


The appearance of making fried eggs just by sunlight can be confirmed from the following movies. The movie has six minutes so you can skip it and see it later.

Until you make fried egg using SolSource - YouTube


According to the official website frying panThe time it takes to reach the temperature suitable for the grill is 5 minutesAs it is said to drop the egg before heating the frying pan, it will take a while. Jiwiwa heating.


Because it is in the morning, the panel is somewhat facing the east.


When the lid was turned on, the plastic part of the hand gushed out, and the mochumoku and smoke began to rise. Depending on how the sun comes in, it will be tough, so be careful.


The white body solidifies gradually ... ....


If the frying pan is not heated, fried eggs are completed in about 5 to 10 minutes.


Although sunlight concentrates and a part of the yolk has burnt, I actually eat it.


I was worried whether the heat passed through to the yolk because the lid can not be done, but it was pretty good with a good feeling.


The part that was in contact with the frying pan also has brown brown appropriately and there is not much difference between the time when it was made with a normal stove and the finish.


Continue the cooking even while finely adjusting the orientation of the panel.


Next time, leave the frying pan for about 15 minutes on the cooking space and preheat.


Next to fried egg yolk challenge vegetable stir-fried. So, using SolSource to put meat for vegetable stir-fry into a frying pan is as follows.

Also, how much fire power will you see if you watch the movie below? I understand that.

How to make vegetable stir-fried with SolSource Part 2 - YouTube


When you feed meat, a good sound called Juju will sound.


We also introduce vegetables.


If you leave too much, sunlight concentrates in one place of the fixture and the fixture may start burning, so let's cook with chopsticks stirring.


A good sound appealing to appetite was heard with Juwat when putting sauce of grilled meat.


Completed vegetable stir-fry is here. The meat is solidly cooked.


Because sunlight was hit directly, I was burnting in places,


Tomatoes are also getting soft.


Because the sun has moved, I will move SolSource further.


Preheat the frying pan again. I wanted to heat well this time, so I left it for about 30 minutes.


It is sirloin steak to heat.


Lightly anchored oil when firmly heated ......


I will introduce meat. You can check the burning of sirloin steak from the following movie.

I tried grilling meat with SolSource - YouTube


Here I noticed that "I forgot to add a flavor!", In a hurry, salt pepper.


It is a firepower that I can not think of only sunlight.


When I turned the meat in about 3 minutes, it looked like yummy grilled eyes.


Wait for about 3 to 5 more minutes.


I tried it on a dish at a reasonable place. Although there are some red parts from the outside ... ...


Medium is medium and rare.


It is seasoned only with salt and pepper but it was delicious.


In the case that it is better to burn a little more, it is OK if you push it against the frying pan. As you do not have to stop the fire, the frying pan is still heated.


Finally challenge the cup ramen.


When trying to put a small saucepan in the cooking space to boil hot water, it turned out that the diameter of the pot was insufficient.


I will use a big pot warmer.


On the official website, 1 liter of water boils in about 10 minutes, so wait a while.


The sun is a little westward, the position is gradually lower, the power of light is becoming weaker.


After a while steam was rising from the pot, but it did not reach boiling even after 20 minutes had elapsed.


When measuring the temperature, it is 48.8 degrees.


Basically SolSource has no problem using cooking utensils in the home, but because it used a shiny pot, it took longer than the black frying pan and the sun's light was weaker than when making the steak / vegetable stir-fry · It is thought that it is the reason why hot water does not get boiled down. For example, when the sun is high in the summer and so on, it is possible to heat the panel slightly asleep ... ...


If the sun is low, you have to put the panel upright.


However, because the length of the tying stick has its limit, even if it extends to the limit, the condition that the sunlight hits only a part of the pan is born, and together with the fact that the power of the sunlight is weakening, the power of SolSource That is why I was reducing it.


In some cases it may take some time for heating, but SolSource can burn Jugeeux, steaks and fried eggs with fire power similar to home stove alone, even with warmer temperatures in the warmer months, make fried vegetables It is possible. According to the official website, even if it is a cloudy day it can be used if it is a place where shadows can be found on the ground and it was designed so that it will not collapse easily even if there is wind. It's not easy to carry around, but you can carry it if you are a car, so you can use it as a barbecue tool, saving electricity and saving gas on sunny days, emergency measures when electricity or gas stops It seems to be useful as.


The price is 399 dollars (about 41 thousand yen).
