/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Don't remove the lid fully - leave it like in the OP pic or even more firmly attached. It won't heat up nearly as much as the can and you can use it as a handle.

It's a bit troublesome because the food tends to burn on the bottom, stay cool towards the top, and is so thick and the can so full it's really hard to stir. But it's doable, just not very comfortable and easy to spill some.
