How to make a camping kitchen with a can

This tutorial will show you how to create your own camping kitchen using household items, and cooking a simple meal. In this tutorial I will explain how to make a portable kitchen with a simple can of preserves and some other elements.

• One large can (2 liters)
• A small can (tuna or pet food)
• Corrugated cardboard
• Wax: paraffin, crayon, or candle
• Rope or wick of birthday candles
• Tin Scissors
• Scissors
• Bottle opener
• Food for cooking (Suggestion: sandwich or frying eggs)

one

The first thing you have to do is present all the materials, a little below you have the list of what you will need to make this portable kitchen.

two

Start the camping kitchen by cutting cardboard strips of the same height as the small can. Roll the cardboard strips and place them inside the can.

3

Place the wicks or birthday candles in various points on the can.

4

Prepare a water bath. Place the wax in the inner pot to melt the wax safely. At least you should put a para of medium candles to generate enough wax. This DIY is also very interesting to do as a school craft.

5

Pour the wax over the burner, covering all the cardboard. Do not fill in excess. You see very carefully in this step and we recommend that you do it on a wooden board to avoid burning the surface under the can.

6

Adjust the burner, let cool and harden. Do not touch it with your hand, you must wear gloves.

7

Using the tin snips, cut a small door that is turned up and out at the open end of the can.

8

Use the bottle opener to cut six grids spaced around the closed end of the can.

9

Place the burner on the ground, or on a non-flammable surface. Light the wicks. Place the stove over the burner . The top of the can will heat up quickly. You can also place a small pot or pan over the camping kitchen.
