dark objects

Answer 2

Explanation:

Absorption of the sun's energy (heat) in solar cooking is best achieved when a surface is dark in color, thus the most common solar oven interiors are usually black in color as well as the color of the cookware used for cooking the food. Dark colors absorb the heat, whereas light colors do not absorb heat well.

Metal reflectors should be positioned around the oven to maximize light input to be the most effective.
