Random Time! - Fire Flower pocket heater

Gamer hands are sensitive tools, as we all know. And frost is something they don't like at all… which can be awful in the winter as there isn't always the right Power-Up outside, like a radiant heater! So you should take the right equipment with you. This Fire Flower Pocket Heater hasn't got quite enough power to let you throw fire balls (shame!), but it will certainly warm up your hands :).

This is how it works:

Before first use, the inside of the hot pack should be liquid. Push the inner metal plate until it clicks and the crystallisation of the sodium acetate begins. Through this the liquid becomes firm and emits the saved energy as heat. The fire flower reaches a lovely n toasty temperature of 53 °C. Just put it into your pocket and brave the cold with no shivers or fears :).

Of course, you want to use your hot pack more than once. So you need to charge it with new energy, in a manner of speaking. That requires a pot, water and maybe a spoon. Let the water boil in the pot and put the hot pack into it. Use the spoon to stop the fire flower sticking to the bottom if needed. Cook the hot pack until all the crystals are liquid again – takes about 5-10 minutes. As soon as the hot pack is cooled down it's ready again for use in the great barren and shivery outside.

Grab yours here (thanks Gerjet!)
