This is another in the hobo stove and cooking series that I have been working on. Being able to make do with discarded items is a great survival skill to own. It works really well and if taken care of should last a long time. Make sure and watch the whole video as tips for use are given throughout until the end. Thank you so much for watching and please leave your comments in the comment section below!
You can use a Fray Bentos pie tin for a frying pan, once opened, you can either use a Trangia type pot clamp or fashion a folding handle ah la Boy Scouts of America frying pan.
Make sure and watch the whole video. Ok I'll careful to do so. In this video you displayed how to remove the lining in the tin, that was something I wanted to know. Thank You.
Growing up as a girl scout, we used this sort of. We had a large can, took the can opener, made holes along top and bottom for the big can. For the heating, an empty tuna can, rolled up cardboard, poured melted wax over cardboard, let it dry. Then light the can and cook on top of the big can. This mind you was in the late 80s, early 90s. We would cook burgers, eggs, sausage links... all sort of things, lol. I mean we had the campfire too with pots and pans over a grill but still. It was fun though. A little different than what I have seen on youtube.
OMG! You made me have a flashback when I was 5 yrs old and I am 56, there was a man in my town that used to make all sorts of things out of tin cans (tiny dish toys and other things) even using the metallic belts for those big boxes 📦 tiny chairs and beds toys ❤️ thank you!!!
Great little project! In the UK, we can`t buy white eggs. The`re always brown eggs, all the white shelled ones go to cake making Bakers, and to our armed Forces. Yes it might seem crazy but very true. As a boy i used to collect the white eggs from our own Chickens we had in a long chicken-wire run in our back garden. There was of course a Hen-house too that was made from old floor boards, but it certainly was Fox prof and my Brothers own handy work of Art.. At 71 years of age i often look back to my beginning and that happy Christian home on the colorful Hawthorn Avenue where we all lived in Norwich, my Mom,and older Brother... they have passed many years ago,but i believe that i will see them again. Seeing the white eggs brought back some good memories. Thank you kindly. From the evergreen gardens of my part of Fiddle Wood UK, this has been BB... short for Beano Boy
Thank you so much! Yes we have our own chickens so sometimes we do have brown eggs, but when we buy them from the store here in the US we usually get the white ones.
As an ex bike messenger that spent 15 years in the streets of New York I love hobo wisdom those guys spend a lot of time outside and they have a lot of stuff and they have a lot of knowledge about how to move that stuff around so I appreciate this video
Well done, James! I would not have been aware of the invisible (transparent) plastic lining of the can without your demo - good to know. Can't help but think all your cookware inventions could make great Scouts' projects - if they haven't already. Always expecting you to cut your fingers - glad to hear yours well-callused!! 😄
Thanks for watching. I really don't have trouble with cutting myself on tin cans and I work with them a lot. However, most folks should probably wear gloves for sure.
Love all your videos, share them with my son who loves to camp out and recycle. He got a kick out of the small rocket stove I helped him make. Thanks for sharing.
I am liking this a lot. You have my brain spinning off ideas.... - if you use stainless steel eye bolt for the lid handle you could add coals to the top & bake in it.....tip: eye screws are cheaper. Make the lid hole with a smaller diameter nail. Punch in from the top. They will hold for quite some time. If worried about sharp point, cut it down with a hack saw 1st & file off any burrs. A cheap metal finger nail file will do the trick if you don't own a tool file. - if you made a 2nd one out of a slightly smaller can you would have a double boiler for fancy camp cooking ;) There would be a little heat lose on the water, but this would work because of the hoop ears that hold the stick handles. Hello bushcraft dessert delights! .........side note I once went camping with a bunch of friends. We walked in to the site & took little gear. When everyone went for a hike I said I just wanted to chill at camp......I had smuggled in the means to make a cherry cheese cake by the time they got back. I was referred to as Camp Cook Goddess for quite some time after.
Great build! I just stumbled on the one where you made a bush pot, which was just as amazing. One thing that really needs to be mentioned about cans for fire implements is that they cool down in less than 2 minutes after use, making them 100% ready to go when comes time to pack out quick. Also realize they also transmit heat much faster than your average pan... now I want to try it with a steak!
I am going to make a lot of the things you make on your videos and set up at a frea market and see how well they sell. A lot of hikers and campers can take them when they are in the outdoors and use them. They are very light and wouldn't add any kind of weight to tour back pack. You could even attach a caribenier to them so you can hang them on the outside of your backpack. Your channel is awesome.
A set of lightweight portable cooking pots and small skillet cost very little. Not sure why anyone would buy tin cans but go for it. Mine are super light weight, well used and the whole set w/utensils was less than $20. It all fits together as a compact kit.
@@EddieRobertsRiverGypsyThese are SURVIVAL ideas. Just because you have ACCESS to resources NOW and the MONEY to BUY them NOW does not mean that it will be so in the future.
Thank you for the video! That is a pretty cool idea. I especially appreciated the fact that you prayed over your food before eating it. Out of all the cooking videos, you are the 1st one that I have seen offering a blessing before eating. Thank you Sir!
James Bender you are a genius. I love eggs. So a big thumbs up to you Sir. The best thing I see about you besides your wonderful personality and genius survival skills is that beautiful smile Sir. Thank You.
That’s a great build. I might have given it a try when I was a kid, now it’s just a reminder that ‘if it works, it’s good’. Of course it’s great fun too. Thankk you.
I've watched a couple of your videos and I really appreciate your ingenuity and willingness to "recycle" material into useful items. A while ago I tried to make a fry pan out of a large Chock Full a Nuts coffee can. My mistake was not leaving enough to fold over to get rid of the rough edges. Now I know how to solve that problem. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
Very interesting and creative. I wish I had seen this before I spent £40 on a stainless steel skillet lol. I can't believe the eggs didn't stick! Especially since you didn't heat the pan first. Amazing. Food sticks in my stainless steel. lol. Thanks.
Thanks! Since this is a mild steel, you can season it just like you would a cast iron pan. However, you must of course burn out all of the old coating/lining in it before use.
Your tin can pan is more "non-stick" than my Nu-wave expensive pans AND can be used (no pun intended, but ) on an inductive cook top. Off to get cans, Thanks!
First time viewer here. The title caught my eye. I was skeptical at first. I really figured there was no way you could fry eggs in that! I stand corrected! I know what I'll be making very soon! Also, kudos for the quick prayer before starting the meal. Now I'm going to go check out ALL your videos for more awesome ideas!
You're gonna want to bend those tabs out rather than in. It's a bit more work, but it works better and longer. I, personally, would have made the handle go over the top rather than along the sides, but then again, when I was living like that making this never occurred to me. I always used smaller cans and kept them deeper. Cans like the one that you used here I would use for a stove. I like this Idea and I may use it some day.
That’s awesome, I saw something like that in Wildwood Wisdom and always wanted to try it. I’ve been using cofee cans for years, but have never done anything fancier than a kid here and there or turned one into a cup.
I like the idea of keeping the pan oiled and in a zipper bag. While DIY stuff is cool, tin cans rust very quickly, particularly here in Florida. The other option is to make a fresh pan, pot or cup for your trip and then bring them back to recycle them. Cook sets are rather expensive.
I have used one of those large cans as a grill.. I also have put a few candles inside of a can like that.. believe it or not you can heat a tent with something like that.. if you use a candle to heat up your tent.. find yourself a flexible dryer hose.. put it in a corner of your tent door that way you can get some fresh air.. but I've used those cans for a lot of stuff
Nicely made! I might build something similar, and coat the outside with something heat-resistant but the inner side I'd keep protected with oven spray or something so it doesn't rust to sam heck
i dont normally comment but i watched the whole video and was surprised when you stuck the sticks through. genius! although i did debate the hobo owning all the stuff to make that in my head as i was watching. it did inspire me to want to make my own like that or similar with my own twist. thanks for the good video. (:
Maybe not today's hobos, but in the classic days of hoboing they had many tools available to them, they just didn't own them. So, they could make quite a few useful items after hours, or on their own time.
It would be a good idea in a shtf situation to make up some of those out of your number 10 can from your long-term storage to give to people if you want so they have something to cook some food in if they come wandering by. However letting people know that you had number 10 cans of food might be an issue LOL but that's a whole nother discussion. It might also be a good boy scout task to teach boy scouts and girl scouts how to do
Using the same concept, just cutting less of the can off, you could make a matching pot for soups and stews. Add a homemade tin can rocket stove and you're set.
"Egg"cellent creation . Thanks for the detailed "over easy" tips/instructions. All "yolks" i mean jokes :D a side, I really enjoy the build videos especially the reusing/ re proposing ones very much. I can totally see this being adapted to similar things and sizes. Just to add , if one didn't have pop rivets , i guess either wire or short screws/bolts with nuts could be used. All the best James from CR.
When making them fry pans I am going to include some hand carved sticks to use with them. Maybe include a hand carved spoon,fork and spatula with it. I haven't carved much in a while but it's like riding a bicycle. You don't forget.
Tin cans are really usefull....i have made stoves..billy cans...candle holders...pork pie tins...ovens..and many other things...yes I was a boy scout...
That's super cool. You could also attach a strip to the lid that could be rolled up forming a handle on the lid, should you not have screws. I wonder if four more strips could be retained on the pan and folded all the way back down to form feet so that it could support itself over the coals.
I don't typically buy huge cans, but I see people this them away a lot. Might buy one with something I like in it just to make this. Awesome DIY. FYI, DIY is a conservative term for inventor!
Don't toss those sided you snipped out, use them for candle reflectors. Cut off about 1" or more of a 4"-5" log, making sure it's flat, then using the top part, without the ribs, use that as your reflector, and shiney side in, wrap it about a half round on the log. Using small nails, tack it onto the log flat. Height will be determined by candle size you brought. Then, place them around your shelter to get best lighting for it. Make more of them with rest of leftovers and save the rest to make whatever with on your projects.
Very handy if you're in a survival situation and come across an old can.. and nail, tin snips, pop rivets the same size as the nail. and a pop rivet setter. Some how I think I'd have a better chance on stumbling upon a pan.
Actually, this is more of a hobo project. They did indeed have access to tools they just didn't own them as they were traveling working men. Thank you for watching.
Your enthusiasm is "way" on "point" ;) Also if you give a drop-shadow on the back of the credits when they roll they will stand out alot better and look more professional. Thanks for the great content. Entertaining, informative, and nostalgic for long gone times. Even thogh I'm only 40 XD
I subscribed. Thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed watching this video on how to make useful survival tools from ordinary objects and look forward to more!
Just came across this vid and may have a handy tip to break in a new steel frying pan , one without any coating like Teflon, of course! Let the pan get really hot, so hot that the oil starts to smoke. Rub the oil all over the insides and straight away wit a clove of garlic. Don’t burn it! Take the pan off the heat source , let cool down and rub dry with paper towel or newspaper. This wil give a great taste to everything prepared in this pan. After each use, do not wash with detergent, as this will remove the oily film that protects the steel and the taste : just rinse with boiling water, rub dry with paper towel and wrap the pan in old newspaper until next use.
Hey man, I've been loving your content! I've been wanting to try survivalist bushcraft and watching a few channels such as yours have helped me get that push I needed to just get out there in the woods. I really dig your projects, all the tin can hobo-stoves and whatnot are thought out very well! I would just ask please refrain from burning plastic as not only is it harmful to the environment, but can also cause unrepairable damage to the human body (or the body of any living being), specifically in the very DNA code and the brain. We need less plastic in this world, burning it shall only make it worse as it travels throughout the entire atmosphere. I don't know whether or not you've already been bombarded with comments like this and if that is so I apologize, I do realize this is a three-year-old video and there's quite a possibility there has been change within that timespan. I simply want to inform for the good of mankind and our mother, Earth. Many thanks, and have a sacred day. :)
Thanks for watching. Actually, the liner in these tin cans is more similar to a lacquer than a plastic. However, it still needs to be burned off before you can use it for cooking and eating.
James, I hate to be the bearer of glad tidings but in this country I simply use a “Fray Bentos” pie tin. It’s already fry pan shaped. You just have to muster up the courage, to eat the pie first.
If you ask nicely at any Domino's Pizza. They will save you some number 10 cans. I used to work there at one point. And I used to acquire number 10 cans for any number of different projects.
Nice project. I like the round handles and the two sticks. Good ideas. A couple of questions. (1) would you be OK with bending the circumferential tabs to the outside of the rim instead of the inside? Less corners for food to get stuck into. Could make for easier cleanup. I’m lazy. (2) Have you tried seasoning this pan? That would help to keep foods from sticking to the pan. Again, I’m lazy. See, laziness is one of the mothers of invention. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
Sure, you could bend the tabs to the outside of the rim if you wanted to. And, It could also be seasoned, although as you see from the video, it works pretty well as is.
Hi James. Good to have air vents, I would think, so the food doesn't get so hot that it shoots the lid off. Could cut ya. Used can to make something to cook out of is a really smart Idea. Thanks for the video.
Thank you James! I don’t have callouses on my hands. Plus I tend to be clumsy. I will need to improvise another handle idea. I would most likely cut myself. I did stumble on leather gloves that fit my small hands. Even the small leather gloves from the hardware store are too loose for me. At the thrift store I found ladies lined leather gloves in the off season for $1. These were made for street wear. But for $1, I’ll wear them until I wear them out. Plus they fit me ….. like a glove. I’ll be looking for backups. 😅 🙏💚
This pan is awesome! Im going to make one this week, i also use olive oil on all my pans for easier cleaning,taste, and its super good for you and the flavor of the food the 2 loops on each side could hold sticks in a triangle shape lashed at the handle end were you grip for a handle extension annnnddd that whatvyou did hahaha never mind i seen you do it in the video later on haha

You can use a Fray Bentos pie tin for a frying pan, once opened, you can either use a Trangia type pot clamp or fashion a folding handle ah la Boy Scouts of America frying pan.
If you paint the outside with BBQ Grill paint and keep the inside coated with oil. It could last a very very long time.

Prayers your way
Growing up as a girl scout, we used this sort of. We had a large can, took the can opener, made holes along top and bottom for the big can. For the heating, an empty tuna can, rolled up cardboard, poured melted wax over cardboard, let it dry. Then light the can and cook on top of the big can. This mind you was in the late 80s, early 90s. We would cook burgers, eggs, sausage links... all sort of things, lol. I mean we had the campfire too with pots and pans over a grill but still. It was fun though. A little different than what I have seen on youtube.
Yes, those were used quite a bit by the scouts back in the day.
OMG! You made me have a flashback when I was 5 yrs old and I am 56, there was a man in my town that used to make all sorts of things out of tin cans (tiny dish toys and other things) even using the metallic belts for those big boxes 📦 tiny chairs and beds toys ❤️ thank you!!!
I inherited a beautiful little chair made from a regular size t i n can by my Scottish grandmother
I'm glad you specifically mentioned having to burn out the plastic coating first, definitely would not have considered that myself otherwise
Thank you for watching and glad you found it useful!
Great little project! In the UK, we can`t buy white eggs. The`re always brown eggs, all the white shelled ones go to cake making Bakers, and to our armed Forces. Yes it might seem crazy but very true. As a boy i used to collect the white eggs from our own Chickens we had in a long chicken-wire run in our back garden. There was of course a Hen-house too that was made from old floor boards, but it certainly was Fox prof and my Brothers own handy work of Art.. At 71 years of age i often look back to my beginning and that happy Christian home on the colorful Hawthorn Avenue where we all lived in Norwich, my Mom,and older Brother... they have passed many years ago,but i believe that i will see them again.

where 'I' grew up (rural 1960s No.Calif.) we raised chickens, brown egg layers.. white eggs were'store bought'
@@robaldridge6505 ya same here white eggs are store bought old asf eggs too over 90 days most of them
Thanks for sharing your story Beano Boy, I really enjoyed it!! God bless you and yours my friend!! 😁🙏

You're gonna want to bend those tabs out rather than in. It's a bit more work, but it works better and longer. I, personally, would have made the handle go over the top rather than along the sides, but then again, when I was living like that making this never occurred to me. I always used smaller cans and kept them deeper. Cans like the one that you used here I would use for a stove. I like this Idea and I may use it some day.
Thank you for watching.
Bending the tabs outwards would also leave a smoother inside, thus facilitating cleaning. I see food particles getting caught in those crimps.
This was an amazing video!!! I love this channel. Keep the hobo ideas coming!!!

Cool hack. You could use the unused reflective pieces as a fire reflector or to reflect light.
True. Thanks for watching!
Geesh, that's freaking awesome.

Yes. The oil is an important part of being able to re-use it.
Here in South Africa camping stuff imported from America is almost unaffordable! Remember the rate of exchange is 15:1!
I have used one of those large cans as a grill.. I also have put a few candles inside of a can like that.. believe it or not you can heat a tent with something like that.. if you use a candle to heat up your tent.. find yourself a flexible dryer hose.. put it in a corner of your tent door that way you can get some fresh air.. but I've used those cans for a lot of stuff

Tin cans are really usefull....i have made stoves..billy cans...candle holders...pork pie tins...ovens..and many other things...yes I was a boy scout...
This would have been a great idea for shop in high school.
Right? Thank you for watching.
I agree. We made a huge giant clothes pin...not sure the practical application of it but this would've been better!
That would be great for backpacking 🎒 perfect for my canteen stove using your alcohol burner
Yes, it would be great for that.
That's super cool.
You could also attach a strip to the lid that could be rolled up forming a handle on the lid, should you not have screws.
I wonder if four more strips could be retained on the pan and folded all the way back down to form feet so that it could support itself over the coals.
I'm sure something like that could be put together. Thanks for watching!
I don't typically buy huge cans, but I see people this them away a lot. Might buy one with something I like in it just to make this. Awesome DIY. FYI, DIY is a conservative term for inventor!
Glad you liked it, and thanks for watching!
Don't toss those sided you snipped out, use them for candle reflectors. Cut off about 1" or more of a 4"-5" log, making sure it's flat, then using the top part, without the ribs, use that as your reflector, and shiney side in, wrap it about a half round on the log. Using small nails, tack it onto the log flat. Height will be determined by candle size you brought. Then, place them around your shelter to get best lighting for it. Make more of them with rest of leftovers and save the rest to make whatever with on your projects.
I meant discarded sides.
Excellent idea! Thanks for watching.
Thank you.it's2:25 in the morning and now I want an egg sandwich and I got to find a giant can of green beans!
That's a difficult thing at that time of the morning...lol! Definitely made me smile!
Life sucks, hey Bruce😂!
Great build video and a nifty bit of kit. You could tie the handles with wire if you didn't have rivets.
Yes, that would be another option for sure. Thank you for watching.
Good video for Santa in case he ever retires . He could call himself the ho- ho hobo. God bless you and yours from shoshone Wyoming.......
Right! Merry Christmas and God bless you too!
These days I cut some of that high tech BBQ cooking mat cut to size. Keeps the pan clean and is easy to wash. Good video is
Great video, James. Don't know how, but I had never seen this one before and glad I stumbled across it
Excellent, glad you happened upon it
Very handy if you're in a survival situation and come across an old can.. and nail, tin snips, pop rivets the same size as the nail. and a pop rivet setter. Some how I think I'd have a better chance on stumbling upon a pan.
Actually, this is more of a hobo project. They did indeed have access to tools they just didn't own them as they were traveling working men. Thank you for watching.
@@WayPointSurvival Fair enough. I just saw the channel name and pinned comment and assumed. Not trying to be an A Hole ☺️
You've got to eat to survive, so being able to make your own cookware is awesome.....👍
True. Thanks for watching!
Brilliant! Love the ingenuity.
Thanks!
Your enthusiasm is "way" on "point" ;)
Also if you give a drop-shadow on the back of the credits when they roll they will stand out alot better and look more professional. Thanks for the great content. Entertaining, informative, and nostalgic for long gone times. Even thogh I'm only 40 XD
Thanks for watching this and for the suggestions!
I subscribed. Thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed watching this video on how to make useful survival tools from ordinary objects and look forward to more!
Thank you and welcome aboard!
Use the discarded sides as wind shields
Just came across this vid and may have a handy tip to break in a new steel frying pan , one without any coating like Teflon, of course! Let the pan get really hot, so hot that the oil starts to smoke. Rub the oil all over the insides and straight away wit a clove of garlic. Don’t burn it! Take the pan off the heat source , let cool down and rub dry with paper towel or newspaper. This wil give a great taste to everything prepared in this pan. After each use, do not wash with detergent, as this will remove the oily film that protects the steel and the taste : just rinse with boiling water, rub dry with paper towel and wrap the pan in old newspaper until next use.
Excellent, great tips!
Hey man, I've been loving your content! I've been wanting to try survivalist bushcraft and watching a few channels such as yours have helped me get that push I needed to just get out there in the woods. I really dig your projects, all the tin can hobo-stoves and whatnot are thought out very well! I would just ask please refrain from burning plastic as not only is it harmful to the environment, but can also cause unrepairable damage to the human body (or the body of any living being), specifically in the very DNA code and the brain. We need less plastic in this world, burning it shall only make it worse as it travels throughout the entire atmosphere. I don't know whether or not you've already been bombarded with comments like this and if that is so I apologize, I do realize this is a three-year-old video and there's quite a possibility there has been change within that timespan. I simply want to inform for the good of mankind and our mother, Earth. Many thanks, and have a sacred day. :)
Thanks for watching. Actually, the liner in these tin cans is more similar to a lacquer than a plastic. However, it still needs to be burned off before you can use it for cooking and eating.
A new excellent project, great idea, thank you very much! I'll go to make/create t!
Thanks for watching!
this is so cool and something you can do camping to kill time , super awesome idea//
Thanks!
James, I hate to be the bearer of glad tidings but in this country I simply use a “Fray Bentos” pie tin. It’s already fry pan shaped. You just have to muster up the courage, to eat the pie first.
Yes, I have one of those tins and they are very cool!
You can buy cans from Italy, normally filled with tomatoes, That have a copper lining. I don't think they use any plastic.
Excellent. Thank you for watching.
You are more of a teacher than seller. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the compliment!
That's awsome.. simple but effective...
Glad you like it!
Bästa videon någonsin ❤ Bra information och fakta. Mvh..fån Sverige ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
If you ask nicely at any Domino's Pizza. They will save you some number 10 cans. I used to work there at one point. And I used to acquire number 10 cans for any number of different projects.
Excellent tip!
Nice project. I like the round handles and the two sticks. Good ideas.
A couple of questions. (1) would you be OK with bending the circumferential tabs to the outside of the rim instead of the inside? Less corners for food to get stuck into. Could make for easier cleanup. I’m lazy.
(2) Have you tried seasoning this pan? That would help to keep foods from sticking to the pan. Again, I’m lazy. See, laziness is one of the mothers of invention.

Sure, you could bend the tabs to the outside of the rim if you wanted to. And, It could also be seasoned, although as you see from the video, it works pretty well as is.
thanks again, something to teach the kids
Thanks for watching!
Actually I think that may be a official hobo chafing dish! The well outfitted hobo wouldn't be caught dead without one! :-)
Thank you for watching!
Hi James. Good to have air vents, I would think, so the food doesn't get so hot that it shoots the lid off. Could cut ya. Used can to make something to cook out of is a really smart Idea. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you James! I don’t have callouses on my hands. Plus I tend to be clumsy. I will need to improvise another handle idea. I would most likely cut myself.
I did stumble on leather gloves that fit my small hands. Even the small leather gloves from the hardware store are too loose for me. At the thrift store I found ladies lined leather gloves in the off season for $1. These were made for street wear. But for $1, I’ll wear them until I wear them out. Plus they fit me ….. like a glove. I’ll be looking for backups. 😅 🙏💚
Excellent workaround! Improvisation is definitely a skill that most people don't have.
From South Africa.. this i like .. thanks !
Thanks for watching!
Going to try this. Thanks
Thank you for watching, glad you liked it!
Actually a pretty good idea!! Thanks!
Thank you!
James, get a good long length of string and wrap it around the sharp edged handles. It would lessen the chance of cuts on fingers.
Good idea!
This is a great video. I enjoyed that. Thank you.
Thank you for watching.
Very interesting!
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for watching!
Another good vid James thanks.👍😊
Thanks for watching!
James thanks for share your experiencie and skills in bushcrush items , is very useful for us , see you later be fine
Thanks so much!
The discarded piece with outside edge turned up on a 45 degree angle would be a great fry pen as well
You could do that. Thanks for watching.
This pan is awesome! Im going to make one this week, i also use olive oil on all my pans for easier cleaning,taste, and its super good for you and the flavor of the food the 2 loops on each side could hold sticks in a triangle shape lashed at the handle end were you grip for a handle extension annnnddd that whatvyou did hahaha never mind i seen you do it in the video later on haha
Thanks for watching!
A y branch might make a long handle maybe a green one that’s flexible.
Yes, it could.
Nice great idea 👍
Thank you!
Your olive oil was better nonstick than a regular pan. Even with the pan directly on the coals it didn’t stick. Good job.
Thank you. Yes, the olive oil is a great frying medium.
Great little project thks
Thanks.
Thanks James
Thanks for watching!
Always a great video, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
