How To Make A Tealight Cooker

[@tootstweet]

Put a lid on your bean pot. It wlll heat more quickly and safe your candle so you get more use out of it :)

Thank you for the video. There's a huge power outage in Texas due to the winter storm and I want something warm 😣

[@bri7193]

GIRL SAME !!!! I am in houston Rn🤣😂😂

[@annemariebell6257]

THATS WHY IM HERE 🤣🤣

[@portiabartel]

Thats why I'm here too!

[@mari-tn7zb]

@@bri7193 I'm in Dallas! I tried boiling water for some coffee and tbh it didn't work too well. I think I needed a thinner pan /:

[@mari-tn7zb]

Pot* lol whatever stay warm guys!!! 🥶

[@SH-hl3ce]

Great, so simple, love it. I'd take a bigger can that fit 2-3 candles, or an soda can alcohol stove. Or elevate the candle (place on top of an empty candle), to get more heat so i can boil water for pasta

[@pinkliongaming8769]

a soda can not an soda can

I candle cook all the time. My electricity bills are really high even though all I use is a small fridge/freezer and charge my phone and iPad. I don't use any other electricity. I don't use a tin can though. I use anywhere from one to five tealights to cook something. I use one tealight to heat something up, and more to cook something. I make meatloaf, cook raw chicken that has been cut off the bone, soups from scratch, boil potatoes, make pizza, fry bacon and eggs, well, everything basically. I am very good at it. The cost of candles is a bit high too, but the tax is already paid. With the electricity, everything is taxed and taxed again and taxed again.... so tealights end up being way cheaper. I use a baking rack with a little higher legs and put it over the candles and the pot over top of the candles on the rack. In the beginning it made soot... but now it doesn't because I found the perfect height between the tealights and the pan.

[@baranjan4172]

you should make crisco candles. way cheaper than tealight candles.

[@Bevity]

@@baranjan4172 I'm in Sweden. We don't have Crisco or anything like it here. We have cooking oil, butter and margerine. I was thinking of trying to make oil candles though, but right now tealights is all I have.

[@baranjan4172]

@@Bevity hi, get the cheapest vegetable oil you can get. Warm it up. Pour in a glass jar of suitable size. Dissolve a couple of tealights in it. Let it cool down till it is almost solid. Stick a birthday cake candle into the middle. Let it solidify completely. Light up and enjoy :-) Experiment to find the best ratio between oil and dissolved wax. It doesn't take much wax to hold the oil together and give you a cheap candle in a jar.

[@Bevity]

@@baranjan4172 Thanks so much! What a great idea! I would never have thought of that. The next time I go shopping I'm going to get the stuff and make them. Everything is expensive here, even birthday candles, oil is terribly expensive now, but I love to experiment.

[@RubyTwilite]

I'm going to Ikea to buy their bag of 100 tealights and the Dollar Store for matches asap! Thanks so much!

[@paulcresswell6268]

How long did it take to heat the beans through?

[@yellowbird5411]

I wouldn't use lighter fluid like that, as you can see the flame jumped out onto the cutting board with just that squirt. Too dangerous.

[@shakeybill82]

Never, ever add an accelerant to a candle, its extremely dangerous

[@NathanBrown434]

Ideal for blackouts

[@l0lY1000]

It really will help if u going to cook stewed beans cuz it needs small flam like this for almost all the night thx soo much

[@Mixwell1983]

Start the candle early in the morning and by dinner time the following night your beans will be warmed..

[@v31.48]

What you could do is put a cover on the basket, or something else to seal it, and then you can even boil water with 1 candle. Watch out for the steam when you remove the cover.

[@OptimumGrow]

Haha, well done editing... Just cut to a close up of some bubbling beans, like your candle actually did that.

[@MattBlytheTheOne]

Yep, it would take a lot longer than a few minutes lol.

[@meinaccount7619]

wasting energy there. for ventilation cut 2 or 3 little triangles on the very top of the can

[@alphacritter5398]

This video speaks to me on a financially broke level, time for me to proceed to make my own scentless candle with 10 wicks in a handmade metal container connected to several welded together metal containers to both maximize heat output and hack it into a full blown candle oven using german engineering techniques

[@DollopussD]

Cooking beans over the can they came in 👍

[@saltoftheearth8243]

So cool!!! Thank you!

[@micoleritson914]

You are Superb!

[@NCFB4Life33]

Theres no way in hell that candle got those beans that warm. The fire is too far from the beans. I know I've tried doing this before

[@sheila1013]

Would a small pan not serve the same purpose and be easier and safer. 🤔

[@cherylevans6582]

Maybe put the candle in first then light it

[@TrailoFire]

Thanks for sharing. Great content

[@amirah2152]

The power is out right now so I’ll be doing this

[@amirah2152]

and it’s 7 degrees and snowing

[@ilanesh]

@@amirah2152 nonsens, 7 celsius is too warm and will never snow. !!!!!!!!!

[@wm.d.nelson4912]

Good video!

[@soulprepper1425]

That's awesome 👌

[@janeburke147]

That’s an excellent idea,can I ask where you got your pie tin please 🙂

[@mainstay.]

SO how long did it take and you showed how to heat some beans with a tea candle AND lighter fluid, not really a 'TEA LIGHT COOKER is it then - fail.

[@2smart2prank]

it will take 2 hours till hot

[@z.x.c.l.s.b.n3531]

If all else fails, just set the wooden chopping board on fire 🤫

[@Bryt25]

Also would the flame touching the pan help? Anyone?!

[@middknightdream1577]

The very tip of the candle's flame is the hottest part of the flame. If he had the pan close enough to the flame that only the flame tip was licking the bottom of the pan, it would be the ideal setup.

[@cookingwithcandles]

there is a big difference between cooking and heating up a can of beans

[@ahmadsantoso9712]

lol I've been doing this since before 2017.

[@TheDuffman1986]

I once cooked a whole chicken on a candle!

[@peterpiper487]

A tea light candle will not COOK; it only heats the food.

[@rduggan2011]

use the steamer tray from you steamer and 6 tea light, this video has been reported to the health and safety exec, majoj health risk, think you need health and safety training, you do not have a clue, oviouslly never served in the armed forces.
