T-Fal One Egg Wonder backpacking mod, frying pan modification

[@mikedyer8034]

A striker handle for a tourch would work good with a little work.

[@Sirrehpotsirch]

Cookware with fixed handles are impractical due to poor packability or when balancing an off-center pan on a small profile stove. My solution has been to cut the handle off completely including the rivets. Then fashion a low-profile metal U bracket from scrap and attach it to the pan using the same rivet holes. This gives me a spot to use my MSR pot grabber. One handle for all cookware and it packs inside the pot. The bracket also allows me to grab hot pots off the fire while leaving the pot lid in place.

Nice and budget friendly. Best of both worlds I need to be in. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

[@Richard-Seekingwulf]

Thank you for figuring out that frying pan, that's a good idea. This is only the second video I've watched of yours the first how to make the Fancy Feast stove loved both of them and save them so I can refer back to it later.

[@dreamcreationsadventures]

Great idea ! I have the pan and that handle drives m nuts, so I will be trying this mod for sure

[@robertchilders4031]

I sure don't have the shop you do, but I admire your work and the ability to get things done. Good job!

[@markvillarreal6005]

you can also save your self some time by getting a pair of fish mouth spreader's. they are thicker and stronger and would probably fit better for the handle. thanks for the neat idea I think I am going to give it a try.

[@loganwolf2037]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[@thorson7842]

I love seeing homemade gear

[@silvanigra]

Yep, the material these are made of is waay better than any overpriced "backpacking pan".

[@markburrell2778]

A bicycle spoke would work good too.

[@backpackingonline]

I tried a TFal One Egg Wonder. I like what you did about the handle. I have a 4.85 oz Vargo Titanium 750 Sierra w/lid. I use it with a Zelph StarLyte w/lid and a titanium windscreen cone. I mentioned it, since you asked. Not as big, it's sloping sides will heat a lot of food. It makes enough hot water for backpacking meals using freezer bag cooking style and a hot drink. I see your primary cookware has more volume, and so you might not like 750 ml. Nevertheless, it is worth mentioning that I poach or fry an egg, make a pan scone or a chocolate lava cake with a silicone egg poacher insert but you could do that with your primary pan and a silicone egg poacher. My primary reason for liking the Vargo Titanium 750 Sierra is the form factor: it is an all-in-one pan and it packs quite flat.

[@tomkiker2206]

That's a really good idea. You've given me some good ideas.

[@AtomicBleach]

Theres other videos going around of the imusa 6" egg pan being used. This would probably fit around your pot a little better.

[@shoveldriver1]

Nice video. great idea. I love my colorado camper fancy feast stove also.

[@davidreichard3053]

Use a fishing "spreader" for a handle? A slide-on tube sleeve to keep it comptessed.

[@TomKirkman1]

Biggest problem with any aluminum pan is they do not hold heat well. This can be a problem in colder weather. A steel pan, or aluminum with extra thick bottom, simply cook better. but they're heavier. Have to decide on a priority and go with that. I tend to use the same pan I use in my home kitchen and just deal with the additional weight.

[@melissahoffman4687]

A homemade simmer ring can be made so you can bake with your fancy feast stove. Get out a can slightly taller than the wick. Cut the can to have it look like a wind screen. Put the can under the stove right by the wick, now you have a homemade simmer ring. You can remove the simmer ring without taking the pot or pan off your stove this way. :)

[@aaronwitner2001]

Try adding a lock ring that pushes down and locks the wires pushes it out and locks it together that will also stop it from we will wobbling

[@garymyers6128]

Good project im going to make some my boys and myself.thanks again.

[@idbrown937]

Just use a multi tool to pick up the pan, no handle needed.

[@davidreichard3053]

Or a small pair of locking pliers.

[@zombiehunter0000]

you make very good videos i seen one the outher day they used stove burner covers thanks

[@seikibrian8641]

Good job. You may have only shed 0.8 ounces, but you lost a lot of bulk. Plus, you can take off the handle so it won't tip over on the little alcohol burner.

[@Oldsparkey]

I use a Evernew Appalachian set to cook with and added a Evernew Ti Non-Stick Frying pan 16 at 4.23 ounces.

[@WildMoeChronicles]

Awesome diy - impressed!

[@loganwolf2037]

Not bad at all. A slightly larger pan and fish mouth spreader or heavier guage wire would be better. I've been thinking about this but I couldn't find the right size pan at my local small Walmart. I'll have to make a trip to Super Walmart. The reason why I haven't done this yet is because I still haven't found a U.S.G.I. non-stick mess kit or how to coat mine 😆. Seriously. GOD Bless the U.S.A. AIRBORNE !

[@stoneblue1795]

I recall something like that which was a bit heavier that was made for getting fish to open their mouth to get hooks out.

[@aaronwitner2001]

Try the Pathfinders school for outdoor survival they have a lot a cooking utensils

[@SuperJourneyer]

I like the way you think

[@bsd9230]

Can you put a TFal frying pan in a campfire? Subbed and liked!

[@padude131]

Great mod but I'm wondering if drilling holes in the handle big enough to take weight out of the handle so it will sit on the alcohol stove but still be able to use it.

[@mikek.3965]

Clever idea. Thx!

[@elizabethsmith8972]

Would using a wire coat hanger work

[@jerrybobteasdale]

I think I'd adapt the old handle to fasten back on. Take handle off to pack the pot. Reinstall the handle to cook with.

[@Funkteon]

The larger Tefal pans have a screw fastened handle that can be removed with a flathead screwdriver - I bought the 24cm pan and removed the handle for packing...

[@aparecidomiranda1191]

Ótimo vídeo Parabéns muito bom isso 👍

[@flatlander6928]

Paderno carbon steel bake pan @ bens outdoors, 9 bucks and get the oli handle for 4 bucks multi uses there. Season it correctly and u have a pan for life.

[@learntofly3783]

Will it carry weight.

[@jaimearredondo1134]

I did the same thing I use the GI stainless steel knife as a handle

[@darrenregula9498]

Mold your ground beef onto the end of a stick and cook it weiner roast style. Watch out for flare ups from dripping grease.

[@litahsr.8226]

now thats what i'm talking about can you make a mini bread pie Loaf Pan

[@jarhead6153]

Great idea, thanks for sharing....

[@BoulderCreekSteve]

Should have trimmed up those toenails while you had the chance.

[@melissahoffman4687]

Save the original pan handle. It may come in handy for another diy project. :)

[@bugoutbasics1070]

I like. Thanks!

[@johndrummond88]

Great Video!!!

[@intrepidsurvivalist2749]

Thank You!

[@jamesmcgee2447]

👍🏻

[@patricelacroix8049]

inventive stuff tank you

[@johnhoward7298]

That stove is WAY over kill , for what You're doing with it ( and uses too much fuel ) . I made a burner out of two rave hair spray cans ( travel size ) . You can play around with the height to get desired fuel & the holes on top for desired flame . To punch the holes , I used a awl ( one in center & three evenly spaced around. ) It can burn for a long time ( great for simmer & what You did ) . The only thing is You'll need a pot stand .

[@tadgarman8463]

Don't cut your toes off. Ever heard of personal protective equipment? PPE? Or shoe's?

[@timshel011]

Thanks for the great video. I was looking for a pan like this too. Need my eggs every day. I don't mean to bust your beans but was the scale reading ounces, 4.8 ounces or pounds .48 pounds ? That would actually make it 7.68 ounces. Just asking...

[@intrepidsurvivalist2749]

That scale reads in pounds then ounces and it reads down to the 10th of an ounce..... So lets say I had 2 and a half pounds plus a half an ounce, on that scale it would look like 2: 8.5... Thanks for watching!

[@teddythefourth2831]

every 8/10s of an ounce counts!

[@gitlittoo2161]

Dang grand kids. Lol

[@CosgroveNotts]

just go for a really good crap and eat smaller portions lol
