This document summarizes a project review for students Pradeep Behera, Pralay Shankar Mohanty, and Sibani Shankar Mishra. It outlines their project on solar steam cooking, which provides multiple benefits but also has some limitations. It includes sections on the benefits and limitations of solar cooking, the project schedule, and a summary of their solar steam cooking system as being easy to handle and not requiring reflectors.
