How to make an emergency stove to cook breakfast outdoors

Whether you’re camping in the wilderness or simply enjoying a tranquil morning in your backyard, there’s something magical about cooking breakfast outdoors. But what if you find yourself without a traditional stove or grill? Fear not, because in this article, we’re about to unlock the secrets of making an emergency stove that will transform your outdoor breakfast experience. Join us as we delve into outdoor cooking with a DIY emergency stove. Breakfast al fresco has never been this exciting.

What you’ll need

  • A soda can
  • A cutter
  • Dry leaves
  • Matches
  • Quail eggs

How to do it

  • Make two vertical and two horizontal cuts to one side of the can
  • Carefully open the piece of tin that you cut, like a window
  • Flip the can upside down and put some dry leaves inside
  • Light up a match and fire the leaves up
  • Let the top of the can heat and break an egg on it
  • Let the egg cook with the heat of the tin and enjoy when ready

Bonus tips to cook outdoors

  • Plan Simple Meals: Keep your camping meals straightforward. Opt for recipes that require minimal ingredients and equipment. One-pot meals, foil packet dinners, and skewers with marinated meat and vegetables are excellent choices. Planning ahead and prepping some ingredients at home can save time and effort at the campsite.
  • Pack Multi-Use Tools: Invest in versatile camping tools that can perform multiple functions. For instance, a cast-iron skillet can be used for frying, baking, and grilling. A camping pot with a lid can double as a mixing bowl. Compact utensil sets with foldable or detachable handles are also convenient for eating and cooking.
  • Use Portable Cooking Devices: Consider using portable camping stoves or lightweight backpacking stoves. These devices are designed for outdoor cooking and are efficient in conserving fuel. Additionally, they provide a stable platform for your cookware, ensuring even cooking.
