Parabolic Oven

A parabolic oven, parabolic cooker, or parabolic trough is a section of reflected material curled into a parabolic shape, used to cook or heat an item placed at the focal point. The heating comes from concentrated light and heat, usually from the sun.

Explanation

A parabolic cooker is shaped very specifically like a parabola. This focuses all bouncing light and heat into a single point, which can be used to melt, heat, or cook items placed at that focal point.

Uses

It is mostly used at this time to burn things in science classes.
