You’ve got to love this new product that the Japanese have come up with. It is now possible to create hot rice with cold water. Sounds crazy, right? But it’s true. Trendhunder reports that this new product called Hotto Raisu, will be a great item for emergency rations and works simply by pouring cold water on rice. The cost is high at 10,000 yen for 30 packs, but its developers are keen to work on new ideas and uses for this product.
By subjecting rice to 4,000 times normal atmospheric pressure, the developers were able to preserve rice for long periods in a soft form that holds moisture. When water is poured over an exothermic agent in the pack, steam warms the rice contained within, and after about 15 minutes, the dish is piping hot.
