However, there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun. Solar cookers, or ovens, have been used for centuries.

Burning mirrors were also used for less venal purposes, such as lighting altar fires and torches for sacrificial parades, but almost no other applied use was found. The idea, now seen in concentrating solar cookers, is in use in many parts of the world today. The principle of the greenhouse, the so-called solar heat trap, was further utilized in what is thought of as the very first attempt to use solar energy to cook. Many scientists of the era, and laypersons as well, knew about the use of glass to trap heat, but Horace de Saussure, a French-Swiss scientist, wondered why that commonly understood phenomenon had not led to additional applied use. In 1767, he built a miniature greenhouse with
