Lots of cool use for the pasta strainer - use it as a windscreen with an alcohol stove in it (put two roofing nails across the top to lift and support your cook pot), put solid fuel cubes on tinfoil in the bottom, burn wood in it (or 2 briquettes) as a stove. Cool find, thanks for sharing! PS: it's the "DUKTIG 5-piece cookware set $9.99" on the IKEA website (only sold in stores).
If you are still rocking this kit, I would say to make sure and keep the strainer in with it. If you cut a port hole in the side wall, you could use it upside down over coals and as a wood stove. Gives ya some options with it. Awesome gear for sure!!!!
frying pan, wok, stock pot, colander. Cook vegetables and meats with the colander inside the pot and you can save the broth for later in a stainless steel water bottle. I hate soups but I like boiled foods and broth.
Take your spaghetti noodles mostly cooked and warm them in boing water. The WOK holds 1 can of spaghetti sauce. Pair this with the kitchen utensils set from ikea. Spatula, tongs, spaghetti thingy, whisk & ladle. The only tool that sucks is the spaghetti thingy. This set is great for 1 or 2 people. I've used this for 2 camping. I use this at home for 1 when I moved into my apt that had to be remodeled. The remodel was a failure but the cook set and utensils worked great.
+Arm Mihr Right! You can also use it to forage wild berries or other wild edibles as well as rinse them off if you need to. The strainer is the most useful item in this "kit", imo.
On the water bottles duct tape them with a tab. You can retype them many times with the same tape. Put them in plastic bags with rubber bands to recluse with. Zero leakage.
A suggestion for using the pasta strainer you can use it as a wind guard put a trangia or small stove in it the sides will act as a wind brake the holes will allow the flames to fan and hold the heat focusing it upward
I bought a Ikeas "forget what is called" a dishwasher tub or a cutlery up storage thing. It has holes all around it. I cut a bigger hole in it and make it into a wood burning backpacking strove stove. I built both he tall and short size versions. The short version burns more full very fast. I like the short one better because it boils 2 cups of water very fast. And it is less weight. Plus there is lots of storage in side. I cut the handle off my $ store mug so it fits inside and my 1 cup size fits inside there too with my fire making goods (dryer lint etc) inside of that .
I'm sure you already thought of this, but if you haven't, that strainer is great for pasta but also for steaming. It makes great steamed veggies, fish, etc.
wonderful find. I am going to get mine now. Use the spaghetti strainer/ steamer as a pot stand over the cooker of a wind screen or line it with aluminum and use like a simmer unit.
you could cut away some of the side on the pasta strainer and use it for a type of cooktop. LIke they use with the canteen cook set. You invert the pasta strainer after you cut a space out of the side of it, then start a small fire underneath it and set your cookware on top of that. I think that would work excellent in your situation. You have a complete cookset. You can use any type of fuel you wish. You could use sticks and pieces of wood or you can use trioxane tablets or even the gel fuel the military has switched to recently. Let me know what you think. thanks for posting the video and the information you passed on. Cheers.
This is a good idea. Have you ever tried getting a stainless meat loaf pan from a Dollar Tree to use for cooking? Also, in Dollar Tree they sell stainless steel dog bowls of all sizes, they can be used for cooking purposes as well as boiling water.
Use the pasta strainer for steaming and cleaning prep food work. You can also poach and blanche in it before sauteing or frying. Study your cooking basic methods and procedures.
Did you read the specs for it at IKEA? It says not to be used for cooking and that it can't be in a owen ... It is stainless steel though so I don't know why they wright that.
Nice set up and affordable too:) dont get rid of the strainer it can be used upside down in the coals as a grill - should work flawlessly... Im really diggen the water bottles - flat items pack very well as where round is bulky... thanks for sharing bud... subbed ya:)
what store? that strainer would work for an alcohol stove. as for a lid for the pans without lids,...thrift stores. shoot, i just seen the date on this video,2 yrs old. i am sooo behind the times
looks like ideal set up for hicking but if you are not sure that it is 18/10 or less stainless steel (i.e. food grade) perhaps is not good idea healthy wise to use it. 18% stands for chromium and 10% for nickel analogy in steel. Of course is even worst to use aluminum.
I just don't worry about it anymore, if you listen to the "experts" every single item you use to cook with poses a health hazard, you cant even cook directly over flame because that causes cancer too.
I know this is really old in time but I'm just now seeing this I love this video and I would probably try to you sea strainer as my cook stove make a fire underneath it, cook on top of it
They all have handles that are not removable, that sort of sucks for packing.. On the other had I have this little three cup French made kitchen stainless pot with tiny D handles with a thick bottom from the 60's that cooks fantastic. You have to try hard to burn something in it.
I haven't been to Ikea in a few years, so I cannot say about in store. The rectangular bottles appear to be discontinued, but the duktig cookset is available on the website for 14.95 U.S.D. Thanks for watching.
Unfortunately, everything we use to cook on or in is toxic to us in some way. all I can do is hope for the best. cast iron causes cancer, copper causes brain damage, aluminum causes brain damage, even cooking over open fire or coals causes cancer. the truth is science cant say what exactly causes these things. E.G. smoking causes lung cancer yet people that have never smoked get it too. Thanx for watching.
@@danielwright9418 I do not claim any evidence. It is simply too tiring to explain to everyone that simply because someone has PHD after their name does not make them correct. aluminum for example, several years ago a PHD wrote a paper that stated that upon examining the brains of deceased Alzheimer patients that they had a deposit of aluminum in their brains. since aluminum is a heavy metal once it enters the body it is there forever, and powdered aluminum was used in baking powder to prevent caking, that means every American that has consumed a commercially produced baked good has aluminum in their brain. it is the same as saying that people that die of heart attacks had blood in their heart, therefore blood causes heart attacks. it is simply easier to let people believe what they already to believe. nothing I say will change their minds. P.S. I apologize for the late response, your comment did not make it to my notifications. Thanx for watching.
The IKEA website says that this toy cookware is stainless steel color, and not meant for cooking... I wonder about long-term toxicity with this little set?
Stainless steel, carbon steel, cast iron, Teflon, aluminum, sodium fluoride, silicone. These are all things that the manufacturers will tell you have health risks. everything from Alzheimer's to schizophrenia, to cancer, to death. If we worry about the things that others tell us, no one would eat, drink, work, drive, or breathe the air. exercise is a perfect example. There are health studies that claim if you work out, you raise your risk for heart attack and stroke, another study shows that not working out raises the same risk. All I can say is DO NOT take what others say as gospel. Do your own research and make your own decision. Thank you for watching.
@@iheervoyses - I am tempted. Especially for the colander/steamer part. But I have to go when it's a justified destination drive, since it's not near me (multiple gallons of gas round trip).
@@iheervoyses - They went up by 50%... now selling for $14.99. I'd rather go to the store than have it shipped (that way I can make a trip worthwhile by spending even more money 😛).
probably for the same reason we are told that we should not use aluminum, stainless steel , copper, or cast iron. they need to cover their butts so they don't get sued. now we aren't even supposed to cook over open flame.
It works great. You definitely want to grab the pot with a pot grabber and use gloves or something with the fry pan, I can tell you from painful experience those little suckers get screaming hot.
Not wanting to knock people's enthusiasm but I have heard that certain steels, even stainless steels, contain toxins which can leach into foods. Can't supply any references so maybe I'm talking through my hat.

The simple truth is that most of the studies that are cited are paid for by whatever industry wants you to buy their product. my opinion on these studies is this, they are all crap. We are all going to die eventually, and I refuse to believe anything that industry pays science to say.

I know this sounds stupid but search your area for an independent lab. tell them the findings you want, and all you have to do is pay them. All I can tell you is do what you are comfortable with based on your own experience. Thanks for watching
A lot...... If it isn't food grade or made specifically for heat, you risk having nickel & chromium leaching into your food...... not a good thing to happen.
This study shows all stainless steel leeches some, if you cook food for a long time. I would think its still better than eating Teflon! www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4284091/

The thing you called a strainer is probably also a steamer. Perfect for cooking edible plants. Great find. Thanks.
Ikea kids kitchen items are good for van dwellers and backpacking, light and small. Love that store.
The strainer could also be used to burn fuel inside.
frying pan, wok, stock pot, colander. Cook vegetables and meats with the colander inside the pot and you can save the broth for later in a stainless steel water bottle. I hate soups but I like boiled foods and broth.
could be uses as a wok to
I just bought one of those the other day and the strainer could be used as a solid fuel stove. The pot sit on top of it really well
use the strainer in the pot as a steamer

The cook pot with no lid is a wok! :) Thanks for the video.
Why do you keep calling it a pot without a lid?? it is a WOK
So true lol
I was thinking the same thing. :-)
I'm pretty sure that thing had a lid it, would be a walk with a lid. :)
Of COURSE the pot has a lid! It's the pan!
Stop doing Ritalin dude;)
you can flip the spagetti strainer over some hot caol and use it as a mini grill to fry meats and protect your fire from windy situations
Arm Mihr That's good thinking, that hadn't occurred to me. I will try that. Thanks
+Arm Mihr Great idea.
+Arm Mihr Right! You can also use it to forage wild berries or other wild edibles as well as rinse them off if you need to. The strainer is the most useful item in this "kit", imo.

Kick Ass, no aluminum to poison you, and stainless will last nearly forever with just a small amount of care. This is the best.

The strainer can also be used to clean leaves, and make pine coffee among others
The calendar could be a wind shield for alcohol stove.
The aluminium fry pan is more thermally efficient than stainless steel
Colandar - a calendar has dates on it : )
The "cookpot with no lid" is, in fact, a wok used for stir frying Asian food.
Put the strainer in the pot, a litlle water and steam your vegiies with the lid on.
make a hobo stove with the straner. cut an opening in one side so you can feed the fire
The Pasta strainer ? is a steamer ;-)
the strainer can be your stove! wow!
Multi-use colandar, strainer, steamer, stove.
OMG! The price is wonderful! Who would have thought, kids toys as grown up gear! Nice! :)

HELL YEAH!!! I was eyeing the same damn set two weeks ago there!!
haha, damn a nice little cook set made of stainless steel, in the kids play kitchen!! amazing, and way to keep your eyes open! U R a good noticer.
You can use the collender to boil up a mess of crawdads...one at a time 🤣🤣🤣
Use the pasta strainer for steaming and cleaning prep food work. You can also poach and blanche in it before sauteing or frying. Study your cooking basic methods and procedures.
Thanks! They must have caught on to you. They're $15 online now from Ikea, plus whatever the shipping is. But still a great deal.
Did you read the specs for it at IKEA? It says not to be used for cooking and that it can't be in a owen ... It is stainless steel though so I don't know why they wright that.
the second one is a wok.
use the strainer for cooking crawdaddy's
thanks for the idea, my next ikea visit i will open my eyes for the cooking stuff :D
Steamer can also be used in frying fish
The cook pot with out a lit, is a wool and they are not meant to have a lit.
The pasta strainer can be used as a stove
You might be able to modify the pasta strainer into a hobo stove for your cook set.
Try using the strainer as a fire bowl .
You can unscrew the handle on the one egg wonder and use a pot grip.
That is a very good point. And in truth, (and slightly embarrassing) it never once occurred to me to unscrew the handle. TOUCHE!!!
Nice set up and affordable too:) dont get rid of the strainer it can be used upside down in the coals as a grill - should work flawlessly... Im really diggen the water bottles - flat items pack very well as where round is bulky... thanks for sharing bud... subbed ya:)
as one of those three, its damn handy and use it. Good durability, worth the price.

you 're right about this, but still my personal believe is that food grade stainless steel and titanium are the best options.
Always go with your gut. It is usually right.
Would that strainer work as a windscreen?
I wasn't too sure about the water bottles at first, but the more I use them the more I like them.
Thanks for the sub.
That second pot is a mini wok, not a “cook pot without a lid”.
With an egg cup you cam poach eggs in the strainer
I know this is really old in time but I'm just now seeing this I love this video and I would probably try to you sea strainer as my cook stove make a fire underneath it, cook on top of it
I'm surprised, but that was very interesting. You are not terribly 'au fait' with pots' names and uses, but I enjoyed your video, well done.
yeah, I am not very good in the kitchen. glad you liked the vid, Thanx for watching.
Wow very interesting

Strainer for rinsing berries.
nothing more satisfying than surviving on 25 cents, eh?
What's the diameter of the one egg and Sierra pan from the IKEA set. I'm considering pot lids for them. Does the pot lid included fit them? Thank you!
Is this childrens cook kit and the those rectangular water bottles still available in actual IKEA stores, or only the IKEA online store ... in 2024?

Hey, thanks for the mention :)
You could put a coffee filter in the colander and make coffee maybe.
turn the strainer over and use it for a stove...
Wa-ock.....c'mon say it with me now....wa-ock...there you go
Okay, that's just funny, I don't care who you are, that's just funny. Two thumbs up!!!
iheervoyses LOL good find tho...happy camping
I subbed ! RTF. Great video, keep it up.
Thanks for the sub. I hope to have more soon.
Use the pasta strainer as a deep fat fryer basket.
Everybody saws the one egg wonder handle in half.
1:10 strainer could be used for stove .
TFS .... C.R.
Curious how this set has been holding up to regular use? Does the package mention what type of SS? Thanks for the tip.
it has held up very well. very few dents or dings. I don't know what kind of ss it is. thanks for watching.
OMG, that is a pan, a wok and also a steamer/deep fryer pan. LOL

Maybe turn the strainer in a wood stove

It's not a "pasta strainer". It's a STEAMER. For steaming veggies and the like. Don't spend a whole lotta time in the kitchen, do you?
strain veg
