Personal air conditioner unveiled by Sony could offer sweet relief during future heatwaves by blasting cold air down the back of your shirt 

  • Sony is crowdfunding a wearable called the Reon Pocket for heatwaves
  • The device is an air conditioning unit that blasts cold air down your neck
  • It sits in a special undershirt with a pocket at the base of your neck 
  •  This week, the UK has been experiencing its hottest temperatures on record
  • Sony is crowdfunding a portable wearable air conditioner about the size of a bank card which blasts cool air down the back of your shirt.
    The Reon Pocket is a bluetooth device that uses thermoelectric cooling for the hot summer months or heating, for use during the winter.
    This week, the UK has been experiencing its hottest temperatures on record, with parts of the south reaching a staggering 39°C.

    Sony says that it can cool a user’s body temperature by 13 degrees Celsius (23 degrees F). 
    Meanwhile, on cold days, it says it can raise your temperature by about 8 degrees Celsius  (14 degrees F). 
    Sony said: 'Reduce the discomfort due to various temperatures such as hot summer outings, crowded train heat, cold winter outings, etc, and get comfortable in summer and winter.'
    According to Sony, during testing, the Reon Pocket was able to reduce users' body temperature by 13°C, or increase it by 8.3°C.  
    At the moment, it appears that the device will only launch in Japan.
    Prices range from 12,760 yen to 19,030 yen (£95 to £141).  
    It supports iOS and Android, has a battery life of 24 hours and a charge time of 2 hours, and it uses USB-C.

    Since it's so small and weighs a mere 85 grams (3 ounces), it's not noticeable even if you have to wear a special shirt to use it. 
    It also comes in two versions: the Reon Pocket Standard and Reon Pocket Lite. The latter is cheaper but only comes with a manual mode operation. 
    The standard will also let you manually control the temperature via your smartphone, but a future update will also introduce an automatic mode, Sony said.
    The standard version also lets you tweak with air volume, as well as a customizable 'my mode.' 
    This week, Britons were blasted by a mini-heatwave as temperatures climbed to an all-time high.
    Yesterday , the hottest day in July ever recorded in UK history caused chaos for commuters up and down the country with hundreds stranded on sweltering services while they struggled to get home from work.

    Raspberry Macarons

      Raspberry Macarons Time : About 2 ½ hours, plus at least 24 hours chilling These macarons' recipe include a little amount of finely chopped freeze-dried raspberries, which lends an unexpected tart fruitiness. Just keep in mind that it can also encourage the shells to brown very rapidly, so if the first batch starts to get a little golden, lower the oven's temperature for the second batch by around 25 degrees. Also try the Chocolate Macarons  INGREDIENTS Yield: 23 macarons FOR THE BATTER 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons/130 grams confectioners’ sugar ¾ cup/85 grams superfine blanched almond flour ½ cup/14 grams freeze-dried raspberries Lemon wedge (optional), for cleaning bowl 3 large egg whites (90 grams), at room temperature ½ teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) 6 tablespoons/75 grams granulated sugar Red gel food coloring (optional) FOR THE FILLING 4 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Pinch of kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) ⅓  ...

    Japanese boneless chicken recipes

     Yakitori-Style Zucchini With Scallions and  Salmon Yakitori is a Japanese dish where boneless chicken pieces prepared with salt (shio) and a soy seasoning sauce (tare) are strung onto bamboo sticks and barbecued over a charcoal fire. This weeknight feast acquires the kinds of conventional yakitori and applies it to salmon and vegetables. A pungent sweet sauce of soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, garlic and ginger serves as a coating and serving sauce. Prepared with greens, the extra salmon and vegetables make a decent serving of mixed greens the following day, and the sauce keeps in the cooler for as long as seven days. Brush it onto chicken or pork cleaves prior to broiling, or use it to prepare your next wipe out-the-cooler singed rice. INGREDIENTS   ¼ cup canola oil, plus more for greasing 1 tablespoon minced garlic (from about 3 cloves) 1 tablespoon minced ginger (from a 1-inch piece) ⅔ cup low-sodium soy sauce ⅓ cup turbinado sugar 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar 2 t...

    How to prepare Skillet Chicken With Black Beans, Rice and Chiles

      Skillet Chicken With Black Beans, Rice and Chiles TIME: 1 hour  This authentic one-pot marvel of chicken, black beans, rice, tomatoes, and chiles, adapted from Diana Henry's "From the Oven to the Table: Simple Dishes That Look After Themselves," will please everyone at the table. The cumin-infused rice soaks up all the luscious juices as the chicken thighs roast. The rice and chicken are both nicely cooked when the timer goes off. Use a 12-inch skillet for this recipe; any other size could lead to undercooked or overdone chicken or rice. If you have any leftovers, they taste fantastic in tacos or enchiladas. INGREDIENTS Yield: 4 to 6 servings 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs Flaky sea salt and black pepper 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or peanut oil 1 large yellow or white onion, chopped 2 green or red bell peppers, halved, seeded and sliced 2½ cups chicken stock 2 red Fresno chiles or jalapeƱos, halved, seeded and chopped 1(3-inch)  cinnamon stick, broken in ha...
