The company marketing the Jamie Oliver Survival Kit set of pans is running a contest in which winners of the greatest “hack” will be awarded an electric scooter. It doesn’t have to be a cooking-related hack, either. One of the example hacks is turning the pod-like Survival Kit into a remote-controlled go-kart.
By entering the contest and saying you saw the link on Boing Boing Gadgets, at least one of the entrants claiming our affiliation will receive a free Survival Kit. If you won, I’d also win a free scooter, but since that’s a little squicky to me, I’ll throw in my free scooter if you win. Perhaps the incentive of two scooters instead of one will bring out your fighting spirit. You’ll have one for each foot!
Bear in mind, the Survival Kit appears to be a U.K. product for now, so you might have some difficulty securing one if you don’t live across the pond. As far as I can tell, though, the contest is open to anyone.
If you could develop a method by which Oliver could use his own kit to reduce the size of his hobbit-like meat hands, I’m sure you’d get some sort of special note of merit.

“so you might have some difficulty if you don’t like across the pond”
The phrase works perfectly well and many might agree with the sentiment, but is it really what you were aiming for?
I meant “live,” of course.
I do proofread, believe it or not, but my brain works in such a way as to make those sorts of typos difficult to parse.
It looks like you don’t have to buy a set of pans to enter the competition, just make a suggestion. Which is a bonus, as 70 quid is a bit steep for a set of pans if you’re going to mash ‘em up. Plus I wouldn’t want to be giving ‘The Fat Tongued Mockney Bastard’ any of my money.
Oh & if your kitchen is *that* tight for space, just buy a camping set of pans for 20-30 quid.
…or eat out
