Tin Can Fry Pan!

Hobos didn't spend a lot of money on cookware! The Tin Can Fry Pan is a inexpensive project that I designed so that a simple, lightweight and useful frying pan could be made out of a number 10 can. Using a few basic tools, this complete step by step tutorial will show you how to make your own tin can fry pan. Make sure and watch until the end as tips are given throughout the video.

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.

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.

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

[@WayPointSurvival]

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.

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.

The 2 pieces discarded from the can would make great reflectors for the mini lantern, or as a windbreaker for stoves. 😃

[@WayPointSurvival]

[@georgeburke6336]

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.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Sounds good. Hope they sell well for you.

[@eddieroberts3402]

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.

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.

[@WayPointSurvival]

I'm sure something like that could be put together. Thanks for watching!

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. :)

[@WayPointSurvival]

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.

[@lesliemiller6319]

I probably would have cut the rim straight all the way around, and used the discarded pieces to form the rings and riveted them to the sides. That way you could fold the rings so there was no sharp edges and the lid would likely fit without having to notch them. But, still a very good video and a way to make what you need from stuff you would otherwise discard to the landfill and you would have a very useful item as well.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks for watching and for the suggestions!

The PIECES YOU CUT OFF CAN MAKE A HANDLE FOR THE COVER

[@suebryant1188]

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. 😅 🙏💚

Good stuff, as always (just kind of stumbled into your channel), but in this case, I would suggest _not_ crimping that top edge. Cut it at the first corrugation, as you did, but file or sand the edge smooth and just be attentive when using it. Those crimps are going to make it Hell to clean.

[@WayPointSurvival]

That's why the crimps are folded to the outside and the heat will sterilize it.

[@tommyamaya4254]

Nice 👍

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks!

[@chriscasperson5927]

1. Instead of using olive oil, use a neutral, high smoke temp oil such as vegetable oil or peanut oil. 2. After burning out the plastic, smear a very light coating of oil on your pan, buff it off, and put it back on the heat. Repeat this a few times and then stir fry some potatoes in your pan. You now have a fairly durable coating on your pan. This is similar to burning a new wok and, over use, gives a a fairly durable coating on your pan. After cooking, scour it out (no soap), apply a light coating of oil (not olive oil) and put it back on the coals. This will give you a nonstick coating.

Hobos don't usually carry drills, pliers, rivets and rivet tool, or tin snips in their stolen shopping carts. It would be easier, cheaper, and safer for the rest of us to buy a frying pan at walmart.

[@WayPointSurvival]

I think you missed the point that I made. Most hobos in years gone by were traveling, working men. They did indeed have access to tools quite often but could not take them along when they hit the road or the rails. They also often made many objects while in the jungles many of which are highly prized today and quite valuable including the hobo nickels.

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!

[@e.raymond9294]

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.

[@WayPointSurvival]

[@christinagibson304]

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.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Yes, those were used quite a bit by the scouts back in the day.

[@hanableclarkgod]

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.

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.

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!
