I enjoy experimenting with a low budget and simplicity. Here are some pictures from nearly ten years ago of this. I got the idea in my head to see if I could use a 99¢ aluminum cook pan from the Dollar Tree store as a makeshift skillet for use in the wilderness. They weigh absolutely nothing, can double as a plate, and as long as you’ve got a pair of needle-nose pliers or similar tool with you, you’ve got a handle.

Honestly, it didn’t turn out so bad. After performing this experiment, I was talking to somebody about it one day, and they told me the Waffle House (or some similar diner chain) used to cook all of their eggs on little disposable aluminum pans just like this.
