Thanks to some mysterious witchcraft, Energia’s 100% paper Hexa Pot can be used to boil water and even do some cooking out in the wild.
The main intended use is for cooking liquid food such as water, coffee, milk, hot chocolate, green tea, etc. It has been tested to also be used for cooking pasta, soup, chili, shabu shabu, ramen noodles, or udon, etc., as long as it contains liquid.
The pots are ultra-portable, biodegradable and lightweight. The company behind them is looking to fund the project through kickstarter where you can nab 32 of the pots in exchange for a $75 donation. Check out the video after the break for a demonstration.

Lucky Charms cereal would be the best cereal ever if it only had no cereal in it. Just give me a bowl of marshmallows and I’m good to go.
However, plucking out all of the marshmallows is time consuming, which is why this Lucky Charms cereal sifter just might be the greatest product ever invented. If you happen to have a 3D printer handy you can build one yourself pretty easily using Tom Lombardi’s basic instructions, but we hope he has enough sense to actually sell these things sometime in the near future.
