Concentrating type parabolic dish can generate temperature upto 350-400⁰C thus, suitable for cooking purposes. The solar steam cooking system can cook food for 50 - 25,000 persons daily. A number of solar steam cooking systems installed at various institutions have been presented. Keeping this in view, a solar steam cooking system for 1500 students is being proposed at Dr Y S Parmar University of Horticulture &amp; Forestry, Nauni campus. Design specifications and possible applications have also been presented.</span></span>
