Maintaining the proper cooking temperature is the most important factor in food safety.
Every solar cooker is equipped with the ability to sustain and control steady temperatures during the cooking process. With a temperature range of 100-300 degrees Celsius, the Demax Solar solar cooker is able to kill harmful microbes that survive in dairy, meat, and other types of foods that are prone to spoiling. Ovens and open flame cooking devices, on the other hand, are able to cause excessive temperatures and major changes in cooking temperature that can burn food, and temporarily kill microbes, but unsafe pathogenic microbes can remain in on the food. The insulated cooking chamber of the Solar cooker allows for consistent temperatures for slow cooking tasks and foods that need to be fully cooked, like stews, with out compromising the food's nutritional value. This ability to control cooking temperatures makes the Demax Solar solar cooker a safe choice for cooking most of the foods in your diet.
Material Safety for Food Contact Surfaces
The solar cooker from Demax Solar has food contact surfaces made from materials that meet international food safety standards. Cook chambers incorporate food grade stainless steel and heat resistant glass, which are even safe to use when heated. The glass and stainless steel are even resistant to corrosion and are easy to clean, so they won't cause bacterial contamination from cross contact of different foods. While cheap solar cookers use hazardous plastics and metal, Demax Solar prioritizes cooker safety and the food's safety.
Safety When Cooking Different Kinds of Foods
The Demax Solar solar cooker can safely prepare a variety of foods including grains and vegetables, meat, and seafood. Raw meat and seafood can contain salmonella and other harmful microorganisms, but the solar cooker can eliminate these due to the high temperatures it reaches. With sensitive foods such as eggs and dairy, food safety is still maintained and the risk of curdling or overcooking is taken care of due to the low temperature setting. Solar cookers are designed to be safe even during the cooking of fried or roasted foods as the enclosure prevents burns and splatters. However, it is not advised to prepare very acidic foods for a long time as this can damage the cooking chamber.
User Safety Features Prevent Accidents
Safety features to avoid cooking accidents are built into Demax Solar’s solar cookers. Touching the outside casing will not cause scalding because the shell uses insulated materials. Smugging appliances also provides scald protection. During cooking, the glass cover has a latch that keeps it in place, so it cannot fall off. Finally, since there are no open flames, fire risks and gas leaks are eliminated, which is a major concern with traditional cooking methods. These features make Demax Solar’s solar cooker available for all family members to use, including children and the elderly.
