Sila is a street-food vendor in the Phetchaburi province of Thailand. Twenty years ago, he saw the reflection of the sun hitting a bus and, in a brilliant demonstration of amateur engineering skills, he set up the most environmentally friendly kitchen we’ve ever seen.
It sounds logical now that he's done it. After all, isn’t the ultimate source of heat, well, THE SUN?!
Sila, who dons a welding mask attached to a helmet while he's working, makes use of a movable array of mirrors to re-direct the sun's heat onto roasting chickens. This mirror wall is composed of more than 1,000 mirrors, and can cook the chicken in just 12 minutes.
This is similar to the way kids play with magnifying glasses to burn things. But instead of the childish game of setting ants on fire, this genius chef is cooking chicken and pork!
In a video interview (below), Sila absentmindedly spins the chicken on a set of homemade rotating grills, as he laughs at the camera. He reminisces about how the townsfolk doubted he could cook meat this way. Boy, did he prove them wrong!
The reliable Thai weather helps too, of course, and it’s a good thing since this roadside solar chicken restaurant has no Plan B.
