I've watched a ton of these candle cooking videos, but this is the first one using the stoves electric coil as a pot holder. Genius. Why are we so SLOW to be creative?
While it may be a good idea in a pinch, it might damage the circuitry in the coils. I don't know. I do like the idea. Maybe substituting a flat metal roaster rack instead might be a better idea. That's up to you as to what you're comfortable with. The tealights are very close together. There is danger from the emission vapors igniting. Make sure you have a fire extinguisher handy! Perhaps using fewer candles or a larger burner pan. It might go faster if you use a lid on the pot to retain more heat. Nice video.
@@Katesharpandvoice When Helene came through we lost electric for three days. I didn't use candles, but I used canned heat. It is a can of liquid or waxy flammable substance with a wick, and you just light it the same. It was my first time, and I didn't have a rack to support a pan. The can was too high for the stove burner hole. I used four cans of evaporated milk as the platform with the canned heat in the center. It worked great. No fumes, no odor. It cooks faster than candles, as it's a blue flame. Just sharing. I should have tried candles also, just for the experience, but maybe next time.
This is honestly such a amazing idea! I love it and have saved it just in case we are ever in a situation where we need to warm something up without any electric or gas.
My good for nothing rotten ass power company shut my power off over them overcharging me so Ben with Electricity for about four days now this video is really helpful..
Wow, I watched a video someone made using tea lights in a muffin tin & I thought that was genius. Never did it occur to me to use my electric range. Clever, thanks for the great tip!
I love these stoves with the coils. Our new house 5 years ago came with glass top. I don't care for it at all but didn't have the money to buy a new stove. This is genius. I'll share with my parents.
That was absolutely brilliant! I have some of those little candles but I never thought of using them like that in an emergency situation! Thanks for a great video idea!
Great idea, thank you. During power outage in the winter in Maine, I have used a small firepit inside, puting a dinner plate in the bottom with about 10 tealights on it and placing the screened dome lid over it. Nice little heater for a small room.
ok so since our power went off today, heres what i did since my burner isnt the same as this one, i had to think of another way. i put a glass dish on the counter..then i lit four tea light candles and put the burner frm the stove over them, ( the candels were actually kinda in between the burner ), then i put my pot with soup on top, and it worked..:):) ..now im heating my cup of tea..make sure the pot is covered though to keep the heat in..i didnt do this with the soup so it took about 15-20 min or more to get hot, but with the hot water, it only took maybe 5 min...you can also use a grill too to put the pot on.
Amazing ideas, I will definitely try this method. I do have lots of tea candles, and I live in an apt. This is a great idea should power go off. Thanks❤
How would the tea lights ruin the coil? The coil elements can get red hot just from normal cooking on high. I think they are made to take heat. But this is such a good idea! 👍
I like the innovative thinking, but it you have a gas stove with a pilot light, and the gas has been cut off, using candles there is a bit dangerous, because the gas pressure might return without notice. In that scenario, it would be better to place the candles on some other flat fireproof surface, and hopefully the grate will have enough clearance to sit above the candles.
This will keep me from feeling deprived during a power outage. Boiling water is a great necessity but it would also hard-boil eggs if you left it long enough.
@ 1:53 when a " flame Tip " is " at " or " just below a metal surface " ( the clearance of a Flat U.S. Dime / about 2 or 3 mm ) that is when the Flame is most effective ! If a Flame moves across the bottom surface of a metal Pot, Pan or Kettle most of the heat of the flame Will Escape from under the bottom surface and will escape up-along the sides of the Cooking Vessel ! Thus the Flame & It's Heat is wasted !
I have found that some of the Chinese Croc Cookers have Ceramic Bowels ( for Lack of better terminknowlogy ) in them, leaving " an AIR Space " between " The Heating Element " and " the Ceramic [ food ] Vessel " ! If any electric Cookware has this; " Then the Air space " Acts " as an " Insolation " ! " This Why " the Newer Croc Cookers " Take longer " / My guess is that " the Older Ones heated " Up In 5 to 10 minutes "/ and the " New-er Ones " could to my [ off the top ] Estimate " Take 3 or 4 Times " Longer to Cook " the Same Dish, " / If That !
Good idea if you have a large amount of tea candles. I personally would line the burner bowl with aluminum foil before setting the tea lights in. It would make clean up easier and keep spilled paraffin off the bowls.
Thats a good concept. The heating element is resistive heating, basically a wire with elecrtic running through it gets hot. What does work is a thermocuple, also known as a peltier element. It is 2 dissimimilar elements joined together. They are used in small electric coolers. The Seebeck effect is when one side is heated it prouduces electric current. These are a used in wood stoves to power fans.
@@patrickbodine1300 actually I personally prefer gas, unfortunately where I live this is the way it is for all tenants for the past 20 years way before this government even had the thought
W Leon. Don’t be so critical. She’s showing us something that can be done in a possibly survival/desperate situation. So what if it might take a while to boil if you’re able to put something in your belly or your kid’s belly!
May I respectfully add that during the Texas grid-down situation in February 2021, I was able to cook cod fillets and scramble eggs. A warm meal in 9 degree F weather was a game changer. It's a huge moral booster and a warm meal in our belly is so very comforting. I now have a folding Sterno Stove that I bought for $6 at Cabela's and the gel fuel for just this scenario. I found the exact same type of fuel at the Family Dollar store for only $1 each in my area. If you ever need to employ this method, I can guarantee you will not be sorry for the money spent; whether tea candles or sterno. I also have a Rocket Stove that I built from bricks on the back patio to use if needed, which uses minimal wood twigs and sticks to get the highest temperature output; great for boiling water quickly. Hope this helps. 🙂
How long does it take to cook? And does a little ridges get red? And how long does it take before you can pull up the metal thingy I forget the name and get the candles out? Do you just blow them out? Do you just leave them in there all the time when there’s no electricity? Thank you!
Thank you so much for this idea, I believe God sent me here so that if the electricity ever goes out permanently or for a while I have a way to cook. I’ve had a lot of anxiety about using camp stoves and stuff like that because I’m visually impaired and fire makes me nervous, even candles make me nervous but with these little ones underneath the pan that would make me feel better and then I could blow them out! This is wonderful thank you so much! Awesome idea!
I do have about 2000 tea light hours. Buddy Burners in veg can size for much needed heavy flame to go in a deep huge roasting pan and a over rack can sit over it. I did buy two sets of small camping pots and pans. I want to get a set of lightweight stainless steel set. I also have multiple alcohol burners to use in the big roasting pan. I also want to try olive oil lamp/ candles as the guy that made the diy forever wick candle said the olive oil burns hotter, it why he/ you needed to use copper for the olive oil candles.

Did you burn your fingers?
Seriously this is so clever and easy to do in fact literally you dont even need gas thinking of it like this!

This is out of the box thinking. Love it.

Tea light candles also come in a honey beeswax version that's great for clearing up asthma, and the indoor air quality of your home. :)
Brilliant! I'm off to Amazon to buy a crap ton of tea candles!
Is that a good thing or a bad thing
Because if it's bad then yeah i don't want to buy some crappy tea candles what if it's an emergency
yeah what happens if this was an emergency then what do i do
studiotime. Go to a dollar store instead. Way cheaper!
Nina Mcrae. That’s brilliant thinking!
Great idea, thank you.

So many vids making an indoor stove...cool simplicity. 🤘
I like this best...right on the stove designed for heat and and safer than other places
What a fantastic idea if you cover it with a lid I bet it would heat up faster.
Traci Hinton yes I'm sure it would, great tip for the viewers thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing.

@@moonlightontheriver can u make a video of it pls i don't understand English very much :(
Nice video. I laughed reading the comments. They're all amazed. like when caveman discovered fire
Great to cook eggs, heat up canned food or saute thinly sliced meat in a small aluminum fry pan. Thanks.
Great idea! A fondue pot that uses tea lights or a burner with fuel would also work.
This is brilliant. Thanks.
Now that's damn genius.
God bless you for the video! Repent my brothers and sisters, for the end is truly nigh!!!
That's a great idea! Thanks!
As long as I can make my tea, I'm good!
Use a thin pan ; its good to keep a cheap,thin pan to low power options like sterno. Cast iron for free yard waste wood cooking.
Brilliant! God bless you!
Amazing ideas, I will definitely try this method. I do have lots of tea candles, and I live in an apt. This is a great idea should power go off. Thanks❤
Great idea
Great idea. Thanks!
I would think it wold ruin the coil? I thin using a rack would be better
How would the tea lights ruin the coil? The coil elements can get red hot just from normal cooking on high. I think they are made to take heat. But this is such a good idea! 👍
Probably won't hurt the coil but I'd bet that the next time they're turned there will be alot of smoke and stink as the wax residue burns off. Lol
Thats awesome!!❤😊
I did that with candles during a hurricane when we had no power too cook it worked great just took a little long but it did it's job
I hope you put the lid on the pot to save time. Nevertheless, it's a great idea. TY
This is neat, but a word of caution if you begin melting the wax into the holes, good luck scrubbing it off later on.
That is so smart!!
Please don't use your good burner for this keep old non working burner marke it for emergency candle power only
Good idea. Thanks
Awesome!! Thank you so much.
Brilliant idea. Thank you. I've shared with everyone.
Genius!
Use the lid! It will go faster if you cover the pot and preserve more of the heat.
Great tip my friend. I added your video onto my website. I hope you gain more followers out of it.
Brilliant best one so far !!

Agree. Better not to chance gas…
Really clever

That's very smart thx a lot!!!!
That’s a good ideal thanks
This is great thank you :)
This will keep me from feeling deprived during a power outage. Boiling water is a great necessity but it would also hard-boil eggs if you left it long enough.
Thank you!
That is amazing!!! Thank you.
That would work great with that style stove, but most electric stoves are now smooth top, wonder if it could be modified for those.
very clever.
Try using a lid to conserve your heat 😉
I'm sure people have common sense
Awesome. Thanks for sharing

Maybe put foil under the candles so you won't have any melted wax to clean up.
Thank you so much, I have been looking to purchase small putane stove in case of grid shut down and this would be a lot cheaper🤗🫶

Thank u
wow, i feel like i should have thought about this when our power was out for three days!!
I bet people in florida watching rn
I wonder if you can also wire that coil up to produce an electrical current when heated to charge a phone or something
Thats a good concept. The heating element is resistive heating, basically a wire with elecrtic running through it gets hot. What does work is a thermocuple, also known as a peltier element. It is 2 dissimimilar elements joined together. They are used in small electric coolers. The Seebeck effect is when one side is heated it prouduces electric current.

And the government made you get rid of your working gas stove...
@@patrickbodine1300 actually I personally prefer gas, unfortunately where I live this is the way it is for all tenants for the past 20 years way before this government even had the thought

Wow this is better than making an alcohol stove from a soda can. Perfect for cooking rice which requires low heat !!!
You also can buy Everclear fuel (pure alcohol) and use the alcohol burners.
If you put a lid on it would go faster.
