Times are changing. Habits are too. Facing environmental challenges and rising energy costs, more and more of you are seeking sustainable alternatives in your daily lives. Among these, solar cooking is slowly gaining visibility. Discreet, often seen as a camper's gadget, it is however the the only real alternative to traditional cooking methods, energy-intensive and polluting.
But beyond its ecological or economic interest, another advantage – often overlooked – deserves your full attention: its benefits for your health.
Gentle cooking, no flame, no smoke… and what if cooking with the sun also meant offering your body a more healthy, plus Lively, plus respectful ?
Whether they're gas, wood-burning, or electric, with or without flames, our good old stoves and ovens do have some flaws.
In order to function well, the human body needs food, water, air ans a good health. Vitamins, of mineral salts and’Oligo-elements. These organic substances play a predominant role in our balance. However, a large number of them are altered, or even destroyed, when exposed to excessive heat sources or brutal temperature variations.
This phenomenon is accentuated by overly vigorous boiling.
More concerningly, high-temperature cooking (frying, intense grilling, excessive roasting) can potentially form substances harmful to the body:
Low-temperature cooking, such as braising or cooking in parchment paper, avoids this kind of drawback.
When cooking, you are exposed to fumes generated by your conventional cooking appliances. They indeed release certain polluting particles into the ambient air, such as:
These molecules are considered harmful if exposure is prolonged or repeated, particularly for children and asthmatic individuals.
Have you never eaten fish or meat that is too dry, or vegetables that lack substance? Overcooking or cooking too fiercely destroys proteins and fibres. The texture of food is thus profoundly altered, to the point of sometimes giving the impression of chewing cardboard.
As for natural flavours, they are replaced by burnt smells or have lost their characteristic taste.
Le Sunplicity is the result of fifteen years of study and experimentation. Seven prototypes were developed before the ideal solar oven combining:
Give your body toxin-free cuisine: try Sunplicity
With the Sunplicity solar cooker, you will be able to taste the Benefits of a food healthy or True taste.
All the chefs will confirm it for you. The braising among the gentlest cooking techniques. With solar cooking, the rise in temperature is progressive and even. It therefore will:
Since there is no longer any flame or localised overheating, solar cooking does not generate any of the harmful compounds for the body previously mentioned. Furthermore, as it often requires no input of added fat, it decreases caloric intake and lipid oxidation.
Meat and vegetables gently simmer in their own juices. The flavour is such that even salt becomes superfluous.
It is therefore particularly well-suited for people following a healthy diet:
all while preserving intense flavours.
No fumes, no risk of inhaling toxic vapours. The air remains pure and free of fine particles. Even indoors, with this solar cooker made from eco-responsible materials, solar cooking poses no health risks.
However, solar parabolic cookers require some precautions during use. Only the Sunplicity has the adequate safety level for indoor cooking. Indeed, the depth of its parabola prevents the focal point (point of convergence of heat) from moving outside the cooking zone.
For more information, please do not hesitate to consult our article on Handmade solar ovens. A box explains the precautions to take with shallow solar dishes.
Do you still remember the true taste of food, its genuine texture? Degraded by the fumes of firelighters, the odours of gas emissions, the violence of cooking, they lose their original flavour and texture.
During a demonstration to present the Sunplicity, a spectator exclaimed that he had never eaten a sausage with such a fragrance.
Logical, since cooking with energy produced by the sun is the same as cooking in a way that respects the ingredients.
Good for the planet, good for the wallet, and good for health, solar cooking never ceases to surprise us. Certainly, cooking is a little slower. But, since with the Sunplicity, its deep parabola and its ingenious aiming system, you no longer have to adjust the satellite dish every five minutes or monitor the cooking, does it matter?
