On a long day, it’s nice to relax to a heart-warming soup. But wouldn’t it be nicer if you had a pot that cooked the soup for you, hands-free? Thanks to Dr. Hideke Watanabe’s Kurukuru Nabe, such cookware has been made possible.

Kurukuru Nabe, which means “Round and Round Pot” in English, is a self-stirring pot developed by Dr. Watanabe, a dentist from Japan. As its name suggests, the pot moves the contents around in a circular motion without any effort from the user.

Despite its “high tech” appeal, it is but a simple pot with a sculpted spiral wall that takes advantage of basic thermodynamics.

As the water heats up, the spiral wall creates a circular flow on the content. Due to this action, water boils faster and the contents gets cooked faster as well. Thus, in theory, this concept is not only for the lazy, but also for the practical interested in saving time and energy.
