Camp Steamer?

[Broch]

I came across this just now and wondered if it could be repurposed?

- wood stove (with modifications)?
- small camp steamer (it's just less than 1/2 a litre) for cooking veg
- liquid food transportation?

I just like repurposing things

Hmmmmmm. How frustrating!

It looks like a beautifully made pot with what I imagine to be a leak proof lid. It’s a good price too.

Maybe I lack imagination but at only 80mm I cannot think of a use for one that isn’t better served by other items that I already have. I am presuming that the two clip version is smaller still.

I might buy one and stick it in the stash because - well it sits there surrounded by an aura of utility which may never be realised.

Edited for the usual typos.

I was thinking of designing a small pressure valve into the lid to make it into a mini pressure cooker

(don't worry, I have the piece of paper that says I know how to do that )

I’d be interested to see you do that. A rock on a Zebra pot lid is halfway there.

Making some assumptions about the fit of the inner container I’m estimating that you’d have 0.3l . Is that useful?

Does look like a stainless version of the Keith TI cooker.

They did trial putting a pressure valve on it, but never released it.

Yeh, I think it's about the size of a mug to be honest; pity. It may be enough to cook veg for a single meal I suppose. So close yet so far

A two layer tiffin might be a better candidate for steaming.

Yep, that does look better, and still not extortionately priced

That would be a great little gadget. Would you have to change the rubber gasket? I’m not sure that it would be food grade….

Good point, but of all the rubber materials I am aware of, only Butyl and Styrene based rubbers are non-food safe. However, I doubt even the seller knows what type of rubber it is

I take a more pragmatic view TBH - short exposure, after I've sterilized the pot by a few boiling sessions, is unlikely to kill me
