Self-Stirring whirlpool pot

Hideki Watanabe came up with the Kuru-Kuru Nabe (Round and Round Pot) while experimenting with dental plaster at his office. The water in the pot rises as it gets hotter, and spirals etched into the sides redirect it into a circle. It's also efficient, hitting the boiling point faster than conventional cookware; it's less likely to boil over; and it keeps pasta from sticking to the bottom.
