Bangkok - Solar energy has found a unique outlet in
Thailand, where one innovator is using the sun's rays to roast
barbecued chicken at his roadside stall, drawing the attention of
Japanese researchers and hungry motorists, news reports said Monday.
With temperatures and fuel prices rising around the globe, Sila
Sutharat's solar-seared chicken, sold at a roadside in Phetchaburi
town, 90 kilometres south-west of Bangkok, recently attracted a team
of Japanese researchers keen to learn his cooking techniques, the
Bangkok Post newspaper reported.
Sila, 50, has devised a concave collection of small mirrors, that
reflect the morning sun's rays onto his chickens.
The Thai innovator, who attributed his culinary brainstorm to a
childhood experiment with a magnifying glass, said the sun can roast
a 1.6-kilogram chicken in 10 minutes for an average of 50 birds each
morning, selling at 160 baht (5 dollars) each.
While the solar system saves on fuel, Sila acknowledged that it
only works from 7 to 11 am and takes twice as long when the skies are
overcast.
