The Double Exposure Solar Cooker (DESC) has been developed with cylindrical type honeycomb structure improve the heat transfer from solar energy. The cooking experiments were conducted with the water loading time during the summer seasons. The thermal performance of DESC with cylindrical honeycomb structure unit was compared with standard solar cooker. Experiments have been conducted with the two cookers in the months of April and May 2013 in the Department of Physics, Karpagam University, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India. The F1 and F2 values of double exposure solar cooker is comparable with the BIS values and suitability of the cooker in the location has been discussed.
