1. A method, comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining a tool including at least an interconnected combination of at least: (1) a clip, including at least: (A) a longitudinally extending central section, (B) a first connection member extending in a first transverse direction from the central section, and (C) a second connection member longitudinally spaced from the first connection member and extending in the first transverse direction from the central section, (2) a handle longitudinally extending relative to the clip in a first longitudinal direction, and (3) a hook extending in a second transverse direction and a second longitudinal direction relative to the clip and longitudinally positioned intermediate the first connection member and the second connection member; (b) inserting a vessel capable of holding a liquid within the clip; (c) placing a liquid within the vessel; and (d) heating the liquid. 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of positioning the liquid containing vessel inserted within the clip proximate a source of heat by suspending the tool from a structural element via the hook. 3. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of pouring the heated liquid into an ice-fishing hole in order to keep the hole open. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the longitudinally extending central section contains a leaf spring intermediate the first connection member and the second connection member. 5. A method, comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining a tool including at least an interconnected combination of at least: (1) a clip, including at least: (A) a longitudinally extending central section, (B) a first connection member extending in a first transverse direction from the central section, and (C) a second connection member longitudinally spaced from the first connection member and extending in the first transverse direction from the central section, (2) a handle longitudinally extending relative to the clip in a first longitudinal direction, and (3) a hook extending in a second transverse direction and a second longitudinal direction relative to the clip and longitudinally positioned intermediate the first connection member and the second connection member; (b) inserting an open metal food container within the clip wherein the metal food container contains a food; and (d) heating the food. 6. The method of claim 5 further comprising the step of positioning the food containing container inserted within the clip proximate a source of heat by suspending the tool from a structural element via the hook. 7. The method of claim 5 wherein the longitudinally extending central section contains a leaf spring intermediate the first connection member and the second connection member.
