[Lboogie501]

Excellent video! Thanks!



[Lboogie501]

[boredbody]

waste not want not lol. I love this video thank you for sharing.

[nj4x4fever2]

Just re-watched this video. This has been very informative and my favorite by far. Thanks Hiram for all your videos. Wishing you and your family the best of health and a happy holiday. Give my best to Max too!

[lunaticasai]

I saw the first 15 seconds of this video and subcribed b4 watching the rest, nuff said. "be right with you" LOL

[2truckie]

Any chance you would sell a 24oz Heineken pot?

[hiramcook]

Sorry I can't get these anymore.

[meloman029]

i love ur can opener,i cannot find one here in the philippines,coke can would make a cool pencil holder,great upload, funny how u finished the soda lol

[nightwalker2830]

Couldn't u just turn the pot lid upside down when packing? When you put the magnet there and apoxy it didn't get to hot and melt did it. I couldn't find a Heineken can like that so I made a chef boyardee 40 oz can as a stove pot. I also order a zebra billy pot

[notoriouslizw]

Excellent vid yet again! Had the same problem with can cutting two days ago! I was trying to cut a Fosters! The Lifesavers lid idea is real cool too! I learn so much from your vids. I've made 4 of my own stoves and two for the neighbors so far! I'm about to get my 5 Liter miniKeg hot water tank working soon. Might try some baseboard radiator with aluminum fin for a heat exchanger on top of an alcohol stove ... -john

[AlfieJager]

You had me in suspense when you said "Let me empty this" lol I thought you were gonna dump it into the sink or something, thank you for downing it haha. I Love Coke. Excellent video. Great ideas and tips. Ya got me to subscribe to ya. Keep up the great work!

[russuhl]

Great video with some awesome tips! Thanks very much for your time!

[qevgun]

i wish we got those big beer cans in australia

[joeebear]

Excellant info!

[jreaper23]

Hey man i love your vids and i have the same problem with the can opener that i moded it will not open the beer or soda cans. so i was wondering do you have any suggestions. message me back

Justin

[silkcitykid1]

Hiram,

You are the man. The only person that points out the fact that the can opener needs modification (i.e. file it down to give the clearance). I also want to point out that you larger Heineken can has a different shape at the top than the smaller can. I can only find the smaller can top (i.e. not several ridges/rings) on the larger size can (i.e. the large can looks like the smaller one in your video, but taller and wider).

Thanks

[kamden1980]

Love it!

[NHamel123]

Ok, not to be a burden on society but nobody I know drinks hinegan ( our liquor store doesn't even carry it( spelling?) can you please send me one with the lid cut off( I'll just screw it up) please... I'm 13 so I can't drive to the city and buy it...lol

[cliffcox66]

the lining is Bisphenol

[cliffcox66]

what about the lining that's applied to cans today? It's some sort of micro thin material to prevent can's from degrading or imparting taste onto products? Is this safe to boil stuff in then eat?

[winnipegdiver]

I was thinking he sounds more like.  John Goodman

Very good video

[Breal191]

Where can I get one of those. Target has a newer fancier type and it doesn't work on tapered or indented edges. Bed Baths and Beyond caries the same one. I think it's the Oxo brand.

[slodeth5]

I don't know about anyone else, but the part of you drinking the coke was great. Made me laugh. A lot of useful information, here. Thanks for it and especially Max.

[brutallindigo]

Nice Vid ! I have the same problem as the picture on the vid .What brand did you get for can openers . Thanks

[silver1fangs]

i want one of those heiniken 24oz cans and one of the life saver lids lol im 17 i dont even want the beer

[nolobede]

Hey, he DOES sound like Wilfred Brimley!

[midnightsurvival]

Great vids. Very useful info. Love the magnet idea. Could use just my knife blade to pick up and handle it. I buy them lifesavers tins at a local flea market for two or three for a dollar. Candy is stale so it gets dumped, but great container. Do not use it for things u wanna keep dry. Not waterproof.

[cnt2005msncom]

Mr. Cook you have a John goodman style voice that demands attention.your ability to communicate step by step instructions along with great visual presentations is impressive. My mother is a Cook from mobile ala. I would be proud to know you as a relative.great bid,keep em coming. chucka leone

[GrizzlySS2011]

You Sir are a hoot ! Thanks for this video.

[1postalpredator]

the lifesaver lid might work good as a strainer great idea and thanks for the videos

[sweetypie000]

LMAO ! an american with a great sense of humor for a change ! 5 stars on the video. I'm off to find a side cutter in the stores for my Heineken Can

thanks for the know-how

[jc0chen]

Have you try One Touch Can Opener on heineken?

[sraike]

Great How-To video. Got a kick out of you chugging the coke and resulting belch. Nice tip on the Live Savers can lid. Thanks!

[hiramcook]

No, just big hands. Thankfully no carpel tunner since I spend so much time at a computer terminal. Mind if I ask why you thought I may have that?

[MsSpy]

Who's the manufacturer of your 'favorite pot'?

[Ggreenvideos]

That lid is cool! I never seen those until lately But didn't know they fit the Heine pot. Lee Valley tools has them with pencil magnets in them. That's the only place I've seen them.

[IAforND]

The lifesavers top looks amazing. Any possible idea where to find one? Been looking around with no luck. Thanks

[jsliwinski19073]

Cool ideas and a great video. It is time to drink this big can. I will use my wife's opener, maybe she will not notice :-) or I will buy her a new shiny one.

[indyTunes]

3:59-4:35

Especially 4:22 *bg*

[magicbuskey]

Thank you for posting this. I was having the EXACT problem with the side opening cutters an soda/beer cans. Now I know how to fix it.

I'm wondering why the sound is mono on this video before the end?

Anyway, thanks again! :)

[thomasjurisd]

Great video. Is your real name Wilford Brimley?

[hiramcook]

No. My real name is Hiram Cook. May I ask why you ask that? LOL

[formatC2]

the trick with the life saver lid is very nice, now I have a use for that old life saver empty box!

thanks.

[boatmaker2004]

GREAT VIDEO THANKS

[mporba]

I work in a dental lab and our wax for making patterns comes in a little tin just like the life saver tin. It's from a company called yeti wax. Now I know what to do with the empties. What a great tip!

[eielson1978]

Hello All,

Hiram for a pot lid handle on your favorite pot, what about using the "Quick Release" side of a "Double Key Ring"? Keys go everywhere with me. The one I have has 2 small ball bearing that hold the 2 rings together. The shaft measures about 265 ths. You'd probably need to open the hole a bit and this would be removable and very handy for a handle w/ring attached. I think that I bought it at Wal-Mart 2 to 3 years ago.

Thanks,

eielson

Good Luck,

[bd36576]

love the way you disposed of the contents of that soda. LOL. Way to take one for the team! Great video

[jons4real]

hey man, I looked every where for those life savers tins, well I could;nt find them any where and just gave up, tonight I went right across the street and in a little indian store, there they were, lol I bought 3

[myboringlife]

BE RIGHT WITH YOU! ahaha

[hiramcook]

I'll be waiting. LOL

[myboringlife]

strangest thing.. i just bought one of those can openers today!

[hiramcook]

Nothing strange about that. It's a handy little can opener. LOL

[jons4real]

dude, I love how your empty a can lolol, didnt see it coming!

[cgul1]

great vid, did not know about the mod to the side cutter, cool

altoid sour lids fit too, but no lock, have to find some of the life savers

[alpenstock2]

o.k.!

[DavoFrito]

Great vids my new friend!

I have one question...

If you took off your mag handle and stowed it, would the Lifesavers lid snap over the Heiny lid as well???

[unowild]

Excelent video. Thanks for showing us that candy tin top. I was also wondering if there was a way to remove those tops of the cans without those openers. I now live in Europe and have not been able to find any, strange huh. 8-/

[bishop85gt]

Very cool thanks for the video.

[631959]

I liked it ...the humor.... the instruction....and of course Max.Well put together video,Thanks.

[hiramcook]

Thank you. I'm always glad to hear when someone has enjoyed one of my videos. As long as I'm not boring people I am more that happy to share my videos.

[stopglobalswarming]

I want the fruit tarts! I've never seen that candy yet.

[stopglobalswarming]

Cool way to make valueables hiders.

[cabelas807]

you emptied that coke like a BEAST!

KUDOS!

[Rudetube69]

Nice Video dude! Great magnet idea! Keep em' coming!

[lakesnomad]

lol good vid finally now i know what cutter i need & even better belch... had a great laugh

[deathmojito]

Hey bro loved the video! I've been trying to figure out how to use the same side cutter on 12 oz cans with no success. The chug and the belch gave me a good chucle. Thanks for the info.

[nj4x4fever2]

My First Time watching this video, thanks for the mention on my coffee brewer, it has been a pleasure making my 2 cups of coffee in the brewer everyday. This video is great the chugging of the soda and the be right with you comment was funny. We did finally get out and picked up the right cutter for the 24oz cans, I did manage to get myself a 12 pack of 24oz keg cans the other day for $27.00 at a liquor store down the road.Thanks Again

Dennis

[hiramcook]

Wish I had known that, I would have saved them for you.

[NCHiker1970]

I found one of those tins at a gas station today and also discovered that the tin itself fits right in the top of the Heineken pot and its a tight fit. Makes a nice lid. Threw away the candy though-- that was a nasty flavor!!

[86thmountmerrion]

Do you know if you can buy those Heineken cans in europe??? I cant find them anywhere!!!

[CommieChristian]

I love that little pot that You called Your favorate. Do You have any more info on it?

BTW, The Yellow plastic lid from a can of Hershey's Syrup will also fit a 24 oz Heineken Keg Can.

Thanks Hiram and Max!

[THREEFLOORSDOWN1]

the holes can be used as a strainer too!

[WorldStove]

super VID! got to gets me one o them cutters ;o) and the lifesafer lid! holy cow, what a great way to make a burner without having to drill or mill a bunch of holes. as for drinking pop (or beer) i will never challenge you to a chuggin contest after what I just saw.

[hiramcook]

That's an interesting thought about using the lid for a burner. Rather big burner though.

That was the first time I ever drank a Coke so early in the morning. Wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.

[NCHiker1970]

a strainer/lid good idea. I have an old camel cigarette tin like that going to go try it out. Oh and by the way the wife did end up wanting me to make one of cozy's for her freezer bag cooking on the trail. THanks for the ideas. Keep them coming.

[RJBURG]

Yes its the side cutter may get a exter for me couse i also grind mine to fit them old ball cans the wife got one ever can she opens she save the covers for me

[MrBillTroop73]

Excellent work!

Great sound effects!

The Live Saver lid also makes a good strainer, just leave it on, and carefully pour the hot water out without losing your boiled veggies.

You might wanna try putting "fins" of aluminum tape around the side of your Heineken pot as a heat exchanger. I did that and it worked great!

Bill

[hiramcook]

Nice idea about using the Lifesave lid as a strainer.

The "put on fins" sounds like a request for another test? BTW did you try painting the bottom of the cans black yet?

[MrBillTroop73]

I thought about painting them, but the heat exchanger "fins" seem to work much better.

Check out my video "The truth about pots" It shows the heat exchanger I made for the Heineken Pot.

Bill

[TerraFirma369]

Good video, Hiram. I use the exact same techniques for lid removal. Excellent idea with the LS fruit tart lid. I believe it is the first time i have seen that one. By the way, the belch was a very nice touch! Peace.

[davidrrrd]

could have used a glass

[hiramcook]

Yes but where is the fun in that? ;-)

[RJBURG]

Yep i do all that also. Oh wal mart mark down the side cutter they are now 9.95.Are you going to try the 2 wall insulation cozy?

[hiramcook]

Is the Walmart side cutter the one that cuts the lid or the side of the can? I'll have to check it out the next time I go to Walmart.

I did the double side on another vid.
