I found this at ikea. I thought that i had an original idea. It turns out that at least three other you tubers had this idea before me. Since BCKAYAKCAMPER had the oldest vid i'll give him the credit for the idea. Thanks for watching.
Lots of cool use for the pasta strainer - use it as a windscreen with an alcohol stove in it (put two roofing nails across the top to lift and support your cook pot), put solid fuel cubes on tinfoil in the bottom, burn wood in it (or 2 briquettes) as a stove. Cool find, thanks for sharing! PS: it's the "DUKTIG 5-piece cookware set $9.99" on the IKEA website (only sold in stores).
If you are still rocking this kit, I would say to make sure and keep the strainer in with it. If you cut a port hole in the side wall, you could use it upside down over coals and as a wood stove. Gives ya some options with it. Awesome gear for sure!!!!
frying pan, wok, stock pot, colander. Cook vegetables and meats with the colander inside the pot and you can save the broth for later in a stainless steel water bottle. I hate soups but I like boiled foods and broth.
wonderful find. I am going to get mine now. Use the spaghetti strainer/ steamer as a pot stand over the cooker of a wind screen or line it with aluminum and use like a simmer unit.
+Arm Mihr Right! You can also use it to forage wild berries or other wild edibles as well as rinse them off if you need to. The strainer is the most useful item in this "kit", imo.
Take your spaghetti noodles mostly cooked and warm them in boing water. The WOK holds 1 can of spaghetti sauce. Pair this with the kitchen utensils set from ikea. Spatula, tongs, spaghetti thingy, whisk & ladle. The only tool that sucks is the spaghetti thingy. This set is great for 1 or 2 people. I've used this for 2 camping. I use this at home for 1 when I moved into my apt that had to be remodeled. The remodel was a failure but the cook set and utensils worked great.
I'm sure you already thought of this, but if you haven't, that strainer is great for pasta but also for steaming. It makes great steamed veggies, fish, etc.
A suggestion for using the pasta strainer you can use it as a wind guard put a trangia or small stove in it the sides will act as a wind brake the holes will allow the flames to fan and hold the heat focusing it upward
This is a good idea. Have you ever tried getting a stainless meat loaf pan from a Dollar Tree to use for cooking? Also, in Dollar Tree they sell stainless steel dog bowls of all sizes, they can be used for cooking purposes as well as boiling water.
I bought a Ikeas "forget what is called" a dishwasher tub or a cutlery up storage thing. It has holes all around it. I cut a bigger hole in it and make it into a wood burning backpacking strove stove. I built both he tall and short size versions. The short version burns more full very fast. I like the short one better because it boils 2 cups of water very fast. And it is less weight. Plus there is lots of storage in side. I cut the handle off my $ store mug so it fits inside and my 1 cup size fits inside there too with my fire making goods (dryer lint etc) inside of that .
Nice set up and affordable too:) dont get rid of the strainer it can be used upside down in the coals as a grill - should work flawlessly... Im really diggen the water bottles - flat items pack very well as where round is bulky... thanks for sharing bud... subbed ya:)
On the water bottles duct tape them with a tab. You can retype them many times with the same tape. Put them in plastic bags with rubber bands to recluse with. Zero leakage.
I know this is really old in time but I'm just now seeing this I love this video and I would probably try to you sea strainer as my cook stove make a fire underneath it, cook on top of it
Did you read the specs for it at IKEA? It says not to be used for cooking and that it can't be in a owen ... It is stainless steel though so I don't know why they wright that.
you could cut away some of the side on the pasta strainer and use it for a type of cooktop. LIke they use with the canteen cook set. You invert the pasta strainer after you cut a space out of the side of it, then start a small fire underneath it and set your cookware on top of that. I think that would work excellent in your situation. You have a complete cookset. You can use any type of fuel you wish. You could use sticks and pieces of wood or you can use trioxane tablets or even the gel fuel the military has switched to recently. Let me know what you think. thanks for posting the video and the information you passed on. Cheers.
what store? that strainer would work for an alcohol stove. as for a lid for the pans without lids,...thrift stores. shoot, i just seen the date on this video,2 yrs old. i am sooo behind the times
Use the pasta strainer for steaming and cleaning prep food work. You can also poach and blanche in it before sauteing or frying. Study your cooking basic methods and procedures.
They all have handles that are not removable, that sort of sucks for packing.. On the other had I have this little three cup French made kitchen stainless pot with tiny D handles with a thick bottom from the 60's that cooks fantastic. You have to try hard to burn something in it.
looks like ideal set up for hicking but if you are not sure that it is 18/10 or less stainless steel (i.e. food grade) perhaps is not good idea healthy wise to use it. 18% stands for chromium and 10% for nickel analogy in steel. Of course is even worst to use aluminum.
I just don't worry about it anymore, if you listen to the "experts" every single item you use to cook with poses a health hazard, you cant even cook directly over flame because that causes cancer too.
I haven't been to Ikea in a few years, so I cannot say about in store. The rectangular bottles appear to be discontinued, but the duktig cookset is available on the website for 14.95 U.S.D. Thanks for watching.
It works great. You definitely want to grab the pot with a pot grabber and use gloves or something with the fry pan, I can tell you from painful experience those little suckers get screaming hot.
probably for the same reason we are told that we should not use aluminum, stainless steel , copper, or cast iron. they need to cover their butts so they don't get sued. now we aren't even supposed to cook over open flame.
Unfortunately, everything we use to cook on or in is toxic to us in some way. all I can do is hope for the best. cast iron causes cancer, copper causes brain damage, aluminum causes brain damage, even cooking over open fire or coals causes cancer. the truth is science cant say what exactly causes these things. E.G. smoking causes lung cancer yet people that have never smoked get it too. Thanx for watching.
@@danielwright9418 I do not claim any evidence. It is simply too tiring to explain to everyone that simply because someone has PHD after their name does not make them correct. aluminum for example, several years ago a PHD wrote a paper that stated that upon examining the brains of deceased Alzheimer patients that they had a deposit of aluminum in their brains. since aluminum is a heavy metal once it enters the body it is there forever, and powdered aluminum was used in baking powder to prevent caking, that means every American that has consumed a commercially produced baked good has aluminum in their brain. it is the same as saying that people that die of heart attacks had blood in their heart, therefore blood causes heart attacks. it is simply easier to let people believe what they already to believe. nothing I say will change their minds. P.S. I apologize for the late response, your comment did not make it to my notifications. Thanx for watching.
A lot...... If it isn't food grade or made specifically for heat, you risk having nickel & chromium leaching into your food...... not a good thing to happen.
This study shows all stainless steel leeches some, if you cook food for a long time. I would think its still better than eating Teflon! www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4284091/
