For those who have been involved in numerous outdoor activities, now you don’t have to tolerate with the bad taste of cold or dry food along your long journey. A foldable cloth oven has just been developed by researchers of Taiwan Textile Institute, which you can simply fold it up and easily carry it around wherever you go. So, anytime when you feel hungry, just unfold it and get it back into shape, then you can start cooking your favorite food in it. The cloth oven weighs only a few hundred grams and the researcher claim that it can reach temperatures over 300 degrees. Meaning you can even make use of it to roast or even bake cookies.
The cloth oven is still in its prototype, which they still have lots of obstacles in front. The main issue is its power source. It needs lots of power in order for it to reach 300 plus degree in temperature. And to achieve it, you need some heavy gas powered generators attached to it. This definitely defeats its purpose for being a portable device. But, if they managed to overcome this problem and pushed it to production run, it’ll definitely become a popular device for the backpackers, campers and soldiers etc. Hope, they won’t make it too pricey.
