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?

[@CinematicTouchProductions]

When I did this video I didn't expect it to get many views, I'm so thankful the majority find it helpful

[@Katesharpandvoice]

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.

[@yellowbird5411]

@@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.

[@ustadhfahadsabri3395]

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

[@rainbowkitten8990]

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.

[@vickijenkins417]

Awesome ....putting a lid on the pot would speed the heating process

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.

[@marym9228]

[@ithacacomments4811]

I would line the part with the candles with aluminum foil.

[@cherylT321]

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!

[@melissahoffman4687]

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. :)

[@tammyvanwinkle8870]

So many vids making an indoor stove...cool simplicity. 🤘

[@moonlightontheriver]

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.

[@CinematicTouchProductions]

[@traclynnhinton1004]

What a fantastic idea if you cover it with a lid I bet it would heat up faster.

[@CinematicTouchProductions]

Traci Hinton yes I'm sure it would, great tip for the viewers thanks for sharing

[@mikedriscoll3477]

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.

[@daj4740]

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.

[@RoseBud-fk4qg]

Please don't use your good burner for this keep old non working burner marke it for emergency candle power only

[@Troubles0125]

I would think it wold ruin the coil? I thin using a rack would be better

[@bettytheex-jw1253]

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! 👍

[@richardelliott9511]

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

[@aperson1181]

This is neat, but a word of caution if you begin melting the wax into the holes, good luck scrubbing it off later on.

[@minidocstv3339]

Brilliant! God bless you!

[@reneelosie2644]

[@Yunginspirit]

I hope you put the lid on the pot to save time. Nevertheless, it's a great idea. TY

[@wgseagal]

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

[@gmac8586]

Use the lid! It will go faster if you cover the pot and preserve more of the heat.

[@jefflane05]

Great idea

[@karenkelly6785]

As long as I can make my tea, I'm good!

[@craiger1965]

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.

[@doricetimko5403]

Agree. Better not to chance gas…

[@joanne4120]

[@kathym6603]

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.

[@kgn8766]

That is so smart!!

[@Crayfish-]

@ 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 !

[@Crayfish-]

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 !

[@scottrumsey5865]

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.

[@aperson1181]

You also can buy Everclear fuel (pure alcohol) and use the alcohol burners.

[@TheMeshenger]

I wonder if you can also wire that coil up to produce an electrical current when heated to charge a phone or something

[@-Tsquare2023]

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.

[@aperson1181]

Your intro is kind of funny. If the electric company were to cut the electricity to our electric stove, I would not be watching this video. :)

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!

[@winkfinkerstien1957]

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. 🙂

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!

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!
