Answer 1

Answer:

preparing meals using solar cookers.

Most importantly carcinogens which are usually associated with high heat foods are avoided ,when cook with low heat of solar cookers

The solar cooker is smoke free,therefore irritation of the lungs,lung cancer associated with high heat  cookers is avoided.
