We are now aware that the weather is going to be chilly and rainy for the entire week, so now, let us introduce some useful ways to fight against the low temperatures. The old-fashioned turtle-like heater remains as a hot seller because it is not only environmentally friendly, but it can also keep us warm for up to six hours.

This silver stainless steel pot has a line pattern on the outside making it look like a turtle.

The function of this item, and its shell, is to provide warmth. In the old days, this grandmother used it to keep warm, as one simply adds hot water, fastens it, and then covered it with a protective bag.

Keeping it close to the body, it can warm the bones; it does not need electricity, and it won't catch fire.

This keeps her quite happy and comfortable, and for at least six hours it can keep one warm.

If it is not hot enough, one can pour out the cold water and add more hot water.

It can be repeatedly used. It is also environmentally friendly and can save on money.

With this recent wave of cold weather, many people are using chemical hand warmers which need to be thrown away after use.

This means that many traditional methods of keeping warm have become very sought-after in the market such as using red beans, and putting them in a sock, and then placed in a microwave for two minutes.

Taking out a thermometer to measure the temperature of the socks, one sees it rise from a warm 50 to 60 degrees.

A bag of red beans costs only 10 NT$, and can make many pocket warmers to make a cold day a little warmer.
