Soda Cans are coated in plastic, so I wouldn't use one of them.

Good for you for making an "ible" I look forward to seeing a picture of your pie in the tin :0)

[finnrambo]

nize name

[porcupinemamma]

thanks, I wrote a children's book about a porcupine, and...I'm a mamma ;0) thus the name. BTW, should I overlap the pie crust at the top of the can? Your idea is really cool!

[finnrambo]

I didnt put no ideas can you explain

[porcupinemamma]

weird, I must be mixed up. sorry. I had been looking at a recipe for pie in a tin can and there was no picture of the finished pie. I don't know how my request got to you if you weren't the authour lol. Good day Mate. I'll continue my search.

[porcupinemamma]

Hey finnrambo, the question was in the right place. My question was for the author. Sooooo... would the author mind letting me know the answer to my question please? I think your idea is fantastic!!!! Can't wait to try it :0)!!!!

I think I may try making pies in a tuna can instead of a soft drink can, which is covered in paint, thus eliminating the toxic risk. The large restaurant size tuna can would be great too. I really would have rather seen pictures of your pie in an actual can instead of the 'Better Homes and Gardens" clip.

[porcupinemamma]

so.. I cook it a 250 degrees? Do you make an overlapping edge over the sides of the tin with the piecrust?

Where are the pictures of the pie in the can? Your pictures are either too close up to see what the pie is in, or are of a pie in a normal pie tin, which look like they come from the net. Also, the ingredients you mention seem to be FAR too much for one can 'pie tin'. I was wondering how the paint on those cans would stand up to home baking. I would imagine it would be ok for 'al fresco' baking as any fumes could escape, but in an oven they wouldn't get out. Have you actually made this? If so, then lets see some photos please!

[knarx]

Agree.

[knarx]

I would have loved to see some pics of the hobo pie...

[sadunpererarules]

IF IT EVEN EXSISTS?!?!

[NecroNova]

I have to agree here about the photos. acetone seems a little harsh I think I would take my chances with a soup can and just peel off the label

[linuxmom]

Tuna can would be perfect!

You could use steel wool or a brush they work well.

[Noname23]

Also I apologize for my atrocious grammar, I was in a hurry to get my comment typed out and I forgot to make paragraphs, oh well. XD

[Noname23]

I'm in the process of uploading the pictures but my computer doesn't seem to be very cooperative, I'll get them up as soon as possible. as for the paint on the can I agree it needs to be baked in a well ventilated area or you need to wash the paint off with acetone (providing you wash it off afterward obviously.) before putting it in an oven. As for the ingredients fitting I used a largeish can, so it was very very deep dish but they all fit. Thank you for your help this is my first Instructable so I'm still working out the kinks in it, if you find anything else or you have something to add I look forward to your comment.

[porcupinemamma]

Hi Noname 23. If you get a chance, do you think you could answer my questions? I really want to try your cool idea :0)

[EnigmaMax]

so its not about making a hobo into a pie?

[sadunpererarules]

ja man. i was quite disapointed about that too. i hear its quite a delecacy

[Plasmana]

Umm, where is the picture of a pie made in a can?

[dehlome]

we want pie!!!!

[FunkNattidelic]

These are awesome. i made them yesterday by the river. Im working on building a pizza oven to cook them in, so they dont get ashes in em though.
