If you need to heat coffee or tea, eat a warm lunch or just enjoy the warmth and warm your hands, you can choose one of two simple life hacks.

How to heat food with candles

During fan power outages, ordinary pill candles will help you.

They can not only light up the room a little, but also become something like a bonfire for heating small dishes.

What to do to heat water or heat food:

  • Take a pan with low walls.

  • Put several candles - the more there are, the better and faster the dish will be heated.

  • Place lighted candles on the bottom of the pan, place a grill grate on top.

    Afterwards, place a bowl or other metal container in which you will heat the food.

  • Metal conducts heat well, so the grill grate will heat up even from several candles.

  • Wait for the water or food to heat up.

Alcohol pills for a homemade burner

A homemade burner will be a more powerful alternative to ordinary candles.

To make it, you need to take:

  • tablets of dry alcohol;

  • a small bowl;

  • can with low walls;

  • foil.

The process of heating food using such a homemade burner is quite simple.

Put dry alcohol on the bottom of the can.

Place the bowl in which you are going to heat the food on the can.

Do not forget to put a piece of foil on the bottom of the bowl.

Dry alcohol must be ignited.
