Design blueprint, simulated not measured, not built, derived from the source paper 'A Solar Cooker That Can Cook the Evening Meal' (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24109110). A 1.6 m2 panel cooker charges 22 kg of palm oil to 180 C; after a 3.5-hour wait the store cooks the evening meal for a family of five in a retained-heat basket and serves food at about 92 C, with a payback of 0.65 years at the stated prices and use. Printed limits: on a heavily overcast day the store reaches only 84.8 C and delivers nothing toward the meal, and the design cannot fry. This blueprint was prepared with the assistance of Dave, an AI assistant, under the author's direction; AI use is disclosed and Dave is named in the blueprint. No part of this work has been built or hardware-tested.
