I stumbled across a new travel mug on ecogeekliving.com.
At first, I was really perplexed at why anyone would need a heated travel mug that plugs into your dashboard. Regular insulated travel mugs do a pretty good job of keeping the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold. Afterall, you aren’t supposed to be nursing that chocolate milk all day long.
Then, it hit me.
You can set your ideal temperature, and the cup lets you know when the optimum temperature is reached. In otherwords, you can not only keep your preexisting beverage maintain the right tepidity, but you can actually cook on the road! You can make tea and the newer instant coffees that come in a tea bag like delivery. I was just thinking that you could easily make hot chocolate, powdered soup mixes (they have instant miso soup), and you could even get more creative with travel cup recipes from scratch.
I think I would drive around with some boil in the bag rice, go to the store, get some veggies, and then when I got home, I could walk in and say “here you go.” Rice takes so much longer to cook, so as soon as the veggies cooked on the skillet, I would dump the rice out of my travel mug and no one would have to wait for that pokey slow cook rice!
Not sure about you folks, but my life will never be the same.
