A backpack burned me atCES 2024, but only to prove a point.
I was handling Willtex’s new Willcook, which may be the world’s first wearable oven.

You read that right.
The Willcook is a backpack that can cook food inside of it.
Why would you want this?

Wouldn’t it be better if you could cook while you work, walk, or commute home?
Okay, so maybe that’s a reason.
That compartment has silver mesh fabric on one side, and it’s where Willtex’s main innovation resides.
The cooking compartment.
“It can cook meat, fish, curry,” they told me.
The company alreadysells a smaller version of the Willcookin Japan.
I was skeptical, and they encouraged me to stick my hand in the compartment.

I expected a warming pocket; I was wrong.
The company execs laughed like this was a common occurrence.
There was some copper-colored mesh fabric sewn onto a yellow fabric back to create a pocket.
This got hat fast, too
They then told me to put my hand in this pocket.
I hesitated, and then slid my hand inside.
Within a few seconds, I felt the heat radiating off the fabric.
I quickly removed my hand, since I had no interest in getting burned again.
I’m not sure about the practicality of the backpack, which can cook food but isn’t watertight.
Willtex showed me a large winter coat.
Now this is something I could use.
