An exhibition of the clean cooking
product/devices developed by the domestic entrepreneurs was an added attraction
and highlight of the Modern Energy Cooking Forum and was organised on the
side-lines of the Forum. During the Expo, a variety of solar and electric
cooking devices as well as modern energy fuels like ethanol were on display.
The visitors were shown its functioning also.
The Entrepreneurs from MECS
Entrepreneurship Development Program were invited to display their innovative
cooking devices in the exhibition. Rudra Solar Energy from the EDP winners
exhibited its solar hybrid cooker made up of aluminium sheet with insulation of
ceramic wool. The innovative technologies displayed at the exhibition also
included chapatti making ability of induction cooktops. It was one of the
highlights of the event since the most pressing concern for Indians adopting
electric cooking is its ability to prepare chapatti on induction cooktops. A
Surat based company; Flame O Nil Technologies has developed a 1KW+1KW two zoned
induction top which can puff chapattis.
Besides, certain cutting-edge
innovations for clean cooking from R & D centre of Indian Oil Corporation
Limited (IOCL) and KOKO Networks also attracted visitors’ attention. IOCL’s
SuryaNutan (indoor solar cooking system) had the charismatic features of working
on Hybrid mode i.e., solar & auxiliary energy source simultaneously.
SuryaNutan model is currently available in three different premium models (Low
cost, LD, LDB) with inbuilt safety aspects and pay-back period of 2 years. It
has already been produced in bulk and 50-60 Nos. have been deployed in 5
different regions of the country such as Leh, Lakshadweep, Gwalior, Udaipur,
and Delhi.
Another interesting innovation on
display was from KOKO Networks which was a combination of 2 KW KOKO Cooker and
KOKO fuel. Other than these, the exhibited productions included different
models of Induction cooktops and Electric pressure cookers of varying
capacities. The exhibition area provided the participating delegates with an
astounding experience as it had some of the outstanding innovations for clean
and modern energy-based cooking.
