[pct-l] The future of cook pots?

[Tortoise]

I think it would be a lot better if they could do something to the outside 
of the pot to have it absorb heat much faster and more efficiently. Hmmmm, 
maybe some kind of pleated / accordion fold sides would work to both grab 
heat from the stove and transfer the heat to the water. Pot might be a 
bitch to clean though :-(
