      @@lillianelliott1868 Keep in mind that is only for the stove top. The gas/propane stovetop will work with a match but the oven will not work. Ovens require the regulated temperature and that means the gas/propane goes on & off to hold the desired oven temperature. This will not work using an electric igniter. Best deal is to have a battery-powered igniter if you have a gas/propane stove/oven (that's what we have).

      ​@@lillianelliott1868No no No no! This can be dangerous. My apartment complex forbids this. We are all hooked up to each other's gas lines along with the neighborhood gas lines that run through our connecting complex. And, there is no electric on to work the stovetop vents. Just wait it out. Boil water in a tea kettle ahead of an incoming storm, or a ten quart pan, take some for water bottles. Insulate water bottles, tea kettle and the 10quart when done with things like insulated curtains, quilted blankets. Same for slow cookers.

    I live in South Florida; hurricane preparedness is vital.
    I will not use propane or charcoal (family member accident)
    For years I have used the sterno
    cooking fuel - fast,can be used indoors, reusable.
    With power out for nearly 2 weeks, hot coffee, decent meals every day while our neighbors ran out of propane & charcoal.
    We had run out of bread,no convenience of a store.
    Had a box of bread mix -
    took pavers from the garden & cookie rack to make an oven.
    Placed 2 stereo on bottom & just let bread bake Nothing like fresh homemade bread, peanut and jelly with hot soup!

    First I LOVE the kitty dish! Just wanted to add a few suggestions. We went through Sandy in NJ 2012, I cooked up every piece of meat 4 days out when the suggestion of the storm hitting us came over the airwaves. I then refroze all the meaty meals in aluminum pans in the deep freezer. Of course we lost power for 9days and trees were down all around us we were basically trapped in our home! We reheated the meals in sterno racks or on the grill and ate very well over the course of the disaster. Our deep freezer held up very well and kept everything nice and cold. I did check the temp of food before warming it up just in case. I almost threw out my mother’s fondue pot but thought it would be awesome for soup! You have excellent ideas! Thank you for sharing.

    When I was younger living in CT, we had power outages all the time. My parents use to break out the Colman camp stove to cook. It worked perfectly. It's always good to have one of these on hand for such occasions. Later years, we also had a kerosene heater for the colder months, which did the job. Kerosene is more expensive than it use to be but it is good for emergencies especially if you don't have a generator or a woodstove. It's also good to have a carbon monoxide monitor while running a kerosene heater. It does smell when you first start it up and then the odor goes away.

    Hi there 9thE. I'm on the same page. 😊👍 I even have the same foods prepped. These methods work, I've used them during outages. I used a smaller pot with lid to boil water. I also used a smaller stainless steel fry pan, and was able to sear a small steak- it got very hot. You could easily do hot dogs or burgers imo. Very easy to heat any canned goods. I set mine up on my stove on a metal baking sheet for extra safety. I also purchased a camping mess kit in case. Looking at a Haines solar oven too. Cheers! ✌

    • @NinthElement
      @NinthElement  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello BI, thank you for your note. I agree about the smaller, thinner walled pots and pans, and yes they do work. In an attempt to keep things simple and food safe, I went with fast cooking foods and cooked meat. I would hate for anyone to fail at cooking meat, and then get sick. I am going to look up the Haines Solar oven as well. See you again soon and welcome to the channel. Cheers!

    Such wonderful practical ideas. I love them. I will definitely be stocking up sterno or terra flame canister. I never gave them a thought before believing they only kept food warm. I have a grill out back but if it's cold I'd rather be able to cook inside and out of the wind (might not be much warmer inside during a power outage).

    Using the utensil holder: i bought the one you showed on Amazon and I had good luck and bad. The canned fuel kept being extinguished when I placed the pot on top so I switched to a smaller Sterno style gel can and that worked fine.
    This method would work well for one or two people and for foods that only require a quick heat- up.
    Also- I found myself being concerned about the pot being knocked off the utensil holder. That didn’t happen however because I sat nearby the whole time. I’m practicing now- winter is coming!
    Positive point: I now have a sense of satisfaction about being ready for any upcoming winter emergencies. Im not dreading a power outage now. ⛄️ Thank you!

    • @NinthElement
      @NinthElement  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      YAY! You understand the point of practicing. I know that these methods are not perfect, BUT, I wanted to empower people to think outside of the box and utilize common household items for emergencies. It is not necessary to have MRE meals and fancy stoves. Remember, you are not trying to cook a Holiday Dinner, you are trying to survive. Be safe, Cheers!

    We learned in Girl Scouts how to make buddy burners. You would use a 3 # metal coffee can. On the lower side of the can using a church key you will go around the side of the can putting triangle shaped holes on the side where the bottom of the can is, put them on that lower side punch leave a space, punch leave a space going all the way around the can. At the top side of the open can place a row around the side of the can. With needle nose pliers wrap the triangle shaped metal around the can edge!
    Now using a tuna can or chicken can you will cut cardboard in long sheets the height just about a 1/2 inch lower than the side of the can. Coil the cardboard in a spiral shape Loosely and place it in your can. Add your crisco or candle wax. Using crisco it would be a good idea to get one of those lids made especially for canned cat food to close it up after the can has cooled down. Now you can use the candle like a bunson burner turn the can on it’s open edge over the bunson burner. You will want to use a large flowerpot saucer over a trivet to place your candle & 3# can over it. You can use it for a light weight fry pan or a sauce pot.

    I really needed this . We just got a new stove earlier this year, and suddenly after using it just this Sunday, it doesn't work. What I mean is, the outlet it's hooked to, is out . We can't afford to have an electrician fix it either, so we're stuck with a new stove that doesn't work . I just know with the way things tend to go for us, the electrician is probably going to claim the entire house needs rewiring . We can't afford a rewiring, so we're doing without it . We still have a grill and a slowcooker, so I guess we'll be using those .

      Hi Daphne, are you a Home Economics teacher? The title of this video is about stoves that you can create yourself for an emergency. What you choose to cook on them or your dietary needs is up to you. The whole point of this video is to educate and inspire you before you have an emergency, so I hope I met this point. Cheers!
