Full steam ahead for rocket scientist’s saucepan design

He’s the Rocket Man that hopes his new Rocket Pan might just take off.

Dr Thomas Povey, a keen mountaineer and a bona fide rocket scientist from Oxford University who designs cooling systems for jet engines, has designed a new saucepan which heats more quickly, cooks food faster and uses 40% less energy than your ordinary saucepan.

He decided to take on the task of inventing a more efficient saucepan after struggling to heat up water when at high altitude in the mountains.
