Morrisons biscuit tin sale

[Gailainne]

Thought I'd give a heads up, in my area at least Morrisons are selling these off at £1.99, their stainless steel, with lid, 130mm ID and 150 high.

Thats very kind mate - I'd be happy to take you up on it - but the postage would defeat the "bargain" purpose

I have a plan for an oatmeal tin with a fitted lid though

Anyone got a picture of these?

I might have got the wrong ones, but Wayland pointed some out a little while ago.
Of course I had to have a play and here are some of the results compared to a 12cm Zebra. There are two sizes on sale, though I've only played with the smaller ones so far - one with a bail arm and another with chain hooks. The lid on the larger one is possibly useable as a bowl....

I had a play to make a support arm that would use the same hooks to enable secure stirring and pouring.

Rough and ready - for fear of not using them coz they look too sweet

Thanks for the pics. Much appreciated.:You_Rock_

Looks like this one is slightly different.

BTW Orgi, really nice modifications there, either Aldi or Lidl are doing a pop riveter next week, I think I may just "pop" down for one

That's the only one i could find in my local,bit big so i'll use it for car camping i think.

The chain hooks are awesome Ogri - that looks better than a zebra to me!

Stephen,
I did see a few different types of tin on sale, just bought the style I thought would suit best!
I had thought about using rivets, but being an Ex Aircraft Engineer, I know a thing or two about them. I wanted to avoid dis-similar metal corrosion, and pop-rivets are notoriously weak where changeing temperatures and cycling forces (lifting, slight movement etc) are concerned. I used stainless steel nuts and bolts and peined the threads to stop the nuts from un-doing!

Cheers Red,
Praise from you is praise indeed. I'm half-heartedly trying to assemble a "One pouch brew kit" as has been discussed recently.

Yeah I've looked for the smaller sizes, as Wayland talked about, but I guess my store does'nt stock them . The bigger can, as the picture, I thought may interest ppl who cook for more than one, especially as zebras cant be had for love or money ATM.

I understand exactly what you are saying about pop rivets and disimilar metals, however in the subject we are talking about, I think a filed test is in order, just to see how well they stand up.

St.St nuts and bolts remove all doubts however

Again nice designs, the handle especially, I always like 2 for 1 deals :You_Rock_

Not at all mate - the chain version an the handle for pouring / stirring is genius

Can I be first in the queue when you market the "OgriPot"

The smaller tin fits into the bigger, creating a tight fight but chimney effect and avoiding the hunt for a zebra.

Red,
I'll try to get hold of a couple more tins and make up some spares, you're welcome to one when they're ready. I can't promise a date though as my impending redundancy is now less than a month away and I only have nine more shifts to work - should be able to gather the materials so I at least have the "Kits".
