Thomas Povey, a professor of engineering technology at Oxford University, has developed the Flare Pan , a saucepan that can reduce cooking time by 30% with one-third the amount of gas used in the past. Reported by the US media That's Nerdalicious.


What makes Flare Pan different from ordinary saucepans is that it has bumpy "fins" on the sides. It's a fin, but it's a fin. Thanks to these fins, the efficiency of heat conduction is improved, and cooking can be done in a shorter time.



According to the media, the idea first came to mind when Povey tried to boil water while hiking. At high altitudes, it takes an endless amount of time to boil water. Tired of it, he set out to develop a saucepan that could be heated more efficiently, and after three years of trial and error with his students, he finally completed the Flare Pan.

Flare Pan can be purchased from the online shopping site Lakeland. Several types of pots with different depths and sizes are available, starting at £ 49.99. Shipping outside the UK will incur additional shipping charges.
