Surviving Poverty : Can A Meths Candle Cook An Egg Part 4

 

In Surviving Poverty : Can A Tealight Candle Cook An Egg Part 3 I achieved my result a temperature of 80+ centigrade and a hard boiled egg. The time taken was cut by a third by adding insulation to 2 hours 15 mins. In this video Surviving Poverty : Can A Tealight Candle Cook An Egg Part 4 I've substituted the Tealight Candle for a candle sized Methylated Spirit Burner to try and reduce the cooking time to reach 80 degrees centigrade. My modification was really successful as you will see, if you watch all the video. Background The UK economy is in trouble, normal working people are regularly having to work two or three jobs and shifts in order to bring in sufficient money just to live. The energy crisis caused by the energy companies price hiking with no controls other than 'The Market' ie themselves means that working people are desperate to reduce their energy costs, fuel bills and food bills to try to reduce the increasing amount of debt they are having to take on just to survive. So where does that leave those without jobs, or in such poorly paid zero hours jobs where they find themselves with only a few pennies to spare for heating, lighting, food and cooking or the old on miserably low UK pensions and disabled on benefits, the worst in the free world. It leaves them with nothing. So I've decided to set about finding out what I can achieve with the meagrest of items and over this series of videos I will be doing truthful and repeatable experiments and eating, drinking and staying warm with the outcomes. scenario one: So your in a war zone, you need to stay indoors perhaps in a cellar, you have limited water, only a single small candle and a lighter plus a tiny 250ml pan and one egg stolen from a local chicken. If you like the video please subscribe to the channel, and if you know somebody struggling with poverty, let them know about this series, the things I am learning will have greater significance than just the video and may spark them or yourselves into other ideas.
