High-tech heat pad
Posted on July 20, 2010
Funnily enough, one of the things I picked up from the Good Food & Wine Show had nothing to do with food; it was this this heat pad. It’s a nifty little thing as it’s cool to touch and filled with gel. But when you snap the metal disc inside, it starts to heat up.
Inside it, the gel starts to turn white and in a matter of seconds it gets pretty damn hot. It’s a super cool invention that I’ve seen in Japanese cans of sake (maybe Alexi can take a pic of one?), but there’s some pretty hefty downsides. It’s expensive, goes cold within an hour, and you need to boil it for 10 minutes for it to return to its original state. These are much better and only cost a couple of bucks.

we sell these at work (rays outdoors) for like i think it was $4.99 each. they are good and they do work. problem is tho once you’ve gone through around 5-6 reuse from boiling, the inside just isnt the same.
You’re kidding me. LOL that means I’ve used up half of its life already!
Not good!

Think I’m rich enough to drink sake? It’s all happoshu and chu-hi for me buddy.
How about some kid’s beer though? –> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELllgvfX23o
