Following on from the small alcohol stoves I made at explorers last week, I've started prototyping a cheap and simple non-stick frying pan.
The aim is to build a usable little cook set, and each task is designed to have a follow up in order to focus the kids on putting in the effort to make things properly. An extremely popular night with our lot is pancake day, so the stoves are to be used for that and my orginal plan was to use the aluminium billy lid frying pans. A quick test showed this was a nightmare to cook pancakes on so I started tinkering.
Came up with this: Non-stick sandwich tin from asda, 89p and bit of metal coat hanger. Very rough bends and holes as I was being lazy and not getting my proper tools out. I think it has potential, will test it and let you know how it goes.
