If you curve some aluminum foil just right, you can cook hot dogs with the sun’s heat.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Step 1. Using the utility knife, cut a curve from the two pieces of cardboard.
Step 2. Connect the curves together using the 12-inch connecting boards, glue and roofing nails.
Step 3. Bend the poster board over the curves, mark with a pencil and cut to size. Glue and tape in place.
Step 4. Spread glue evenly onto the poster board. Carefully glue down the aluminum foil. Make it as smooth as possible.
Step 5. Drill a hole in one upright, cut a notch on the other and glue in place.
Step 6. Aim the cooker at the sun, skewer your hot dogs, and get the rolls and mustard.
HOW IT WORKS
The sun reflects heat off the parabolic curve and concentrates it at a single point.
this project totally work is cool.
This particular project it is too much to do. It took me like 2 days to do this.
i am needing a hot dog cooker with no wood for school project this is no help
Well it took me like 6 days!
This is a great idea. The solar cooker for a hot dog needs direct sunlight (no shade trees) and the outside temperature needs to be above 94 degrees Farenheit to cook the hotdog in about fifteen minutes or so ( usually with a Heat index of over 107 degrees Farenheit)– about the same temperature as cooking an egg on a cement sidewalk which does not have shade trees around. This is a great idea as a school science fair project. It’s a way to have a hot, cooked meal using absolutely no matches or charcoal.
YEAH!!!!
How long does it take?

im doing this in my science fair this year. this is my first science fair and i hope this project works!
im doing this in my science fair this year for the first time i sure hope it works!
good luck
does work, me and my friend used it for a science project…was pretty easy too
it totally works!!!
my project better work
I didn’t try this yet,but it is awsome!
thats easy
At my school we did practically the same thing except we used Pringles cans. THey work just the same and all you have to do is cut a hole in the can add plastic wrap and wait a while.
thats cool
this is the best idea I have ever heard

this is cool
Is that really work by using aluminiumfoil ?
i was just wondering how long it will take to cook the hot dog and how to build it
Looks easy, but hard! I guess it will probably explode!
how long will it take?
This hot dog cooker is awesome I’m sooo using this for my project. Hope I get an A+.
i made it got 2nd place
this is the most awesome ,stinky project i every did
hmp!!!! I WISH i had the materels!!-.-
If you make the uprights and somehow the skuer bigger, you can cook other stuff. This is a great idea. Where did you get it at?
