Week 16 - #10 Can Oven, Purchase Canned Fruit

Week 16 – March 17

Make an oven. For a simple oven place your food on your #10 can stove and place the open end of an empty #10 can over the food on top of the stove.  For a see through stove; remove both ends of the can and cut  a transparent baking bag large enough to cover the can opening and hang down the sides a couple of inches.  Secure in place with a wire.  Add a wire handle if desired.

Make a grill.  Cut 8 slices evenly around a #10 can about 1/3 of the way down the can.  Fold the 8 flaps out to form a fan shape.  Fill can 1/3 full with dirt or sand.  Heap with briquettes and light.  Evenly spread out hot coals.  Place a small wire baking rack on top and you are ready to grill.

See Through Oven Directions

Remove both ends of a #10 can. Use one layer of a transparent baking bag that is large enough to cover one end of the can plus a few inches.
Note added 3/31.  Save the can bottom for a baking tray.

 

Cut a piece of wire to make a handle any length you desire.  I did not measure mine.  Fold up both ends and twist together to create a loop at each end.  Cut another wire long enough to wrap around the top of the can that will be used to hold everything together.

Place the transparent baking bag on the can.  Thread the wire that will be used to hold everything together through the loops on the handle.  Wrap it around the can and the baking bag.  Twist to secure, but not tight.  Pull the baking bag so that there are no wrinkles or sagging.

Finish twisting the wire to hold the baking bag in place.  Trim off excess bag and wire.

Place oven on top of your stove.  It is now ready to use.

Grill Directions

Cut slit 8 slits about 2 1/4 inches long about every 2 5/8 inches around the can.  Spread the flaps out in a fan shape.

Fill the bottom third of the can with dirt and cover with foil.

Add briquettes on top of the foil.  Use a wire cooling rack to bake on.
