So let's say you are out camping, in the military or just the wandering hobo type and you feel the need to roast a chicken, bake some cookies or make yourself a nice soufflé. Usually speaking you're bang out of luck, but all that looks set to change.




Yes thanks to the fully foldable, cloth oven from Taiwan you could still be able to cook up a storm regardless of whether you are at home, or in the middle of a field somewhere, with our without mortar shells flying ovehead. Coolest Gadgets spill the beans, so to speak:

"Redefining the term "easy bake oven," researchers with the Taiwan Textile Institute have developed a cloth that can take high temperatures and have parlayed their discovery into a foldable oven for camping, military kitchens, and outdoor catering. The cloth oven weighs only a only a few hundred grams researchers claim it can reach temperatures over 300 degrees - making it hot enough to roast chicken or even bake cookies. The announcement came as part of Textile International Forum and Exhibition in Taipei."

Ok, so it's only a prototype at the moment, but once this bad boy sees the light of day all of those campers carrying around a portable power generator and full sized Microwave oven will finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Or at least they would if they existed, but you get the idea.
