Saw something recently about a solar cooker being produced and sold by the women in Darfur. It's just cardboard and aluminum foil. I think they sell it for about 4 bucks.

That glorified beach ball is fine for a concentrating mirror to up the power out of a small PV panel, but where does the heat go inside that air filled bubble?
If you use one of those inflated beach balls as a solar camping cooker, how do you open the beach ball to put your food inside and take it out without making a big leak?

Someone marketed an inflatable reflector years ago, with clear front and mirrored back, but I haven't seen one lately. I think if I had an inflatable reflector I might just leave it as is. It would be great for those wilderness camping trips.
