Reusable hand warmers are a small thing that makes a cold day easier. Here is how they work and how to get the most from them.
How they work
A reusable warmer is a sealed pouch with a small metal disc inside. When you click the disc, the contents warm up. According to the maker, HotPoc warmers give about 30 minutes of warmth per click.
How to reset one
- Place the used warmers in a pot of boiling water, using the boiling bag if your set includes one.
- Heat until the contents turn clear again, following the instructions that come with your set.
- Let them cool and keep them in their case until you need them.
Always follow the maker's instructions and take care with boiling water and hot warmers.
When they help
- The walk to the car or the bus stop.
- Skating, skiing or standing at the rink.
- A pocket warmer on a long cold commute.
