The Sarai cooker

Ever thought that the waste in your garden can save you and the Government some real money?

Here's how....The ARTI manufactured Sarai cooker shown in the album below does exactly that.

It uses coal which you make at home and that too from the dry leaves and similar waste that piles up in your garden.



ARTI,the organization who manufacture this cooker have got an Ashden award for the briquette technology.

I have a Sarai cooker at home and am trying to convince my family to use it.The biggest problem is the convenience and speed provided by LPG.But the Sarai cooker is not much difficult either and the low speed at which it cooks food is actually beneficial to our health.

Currently,LPG cylinders are highly subsidized and the government loses around 600 rupees per cyliner.

We all have experienced the shortage of cylinders during the festive seasons.There also have been fatal accidents at times.

So why not switch to a technology which is pretty safe,does not force the government to subsidize it and is based on something which you can manufacture in your backyard.

Think about it..It may be a little difficult to start..but once you get used to it,it's fun.

It could well be our small contribution towards tackling Global warming.
