Here is a cool concept in kitchen cookery, introducing Coral, a pan of many colors. The Coral pan can be used for both cooking and serving (the handle can easily be removed), but the most innovative feature is that the Coral pan is coated with thermochromic spots that sense the temperature of the pan. As you cook, you can watch the spots on the pan change from light blue to orange, to bright orange.
The video they put together is worth watching. I won’t spoil the surprise, but I’ll give you a hint: Jimi Hendrix was ahead of his time, since he wrote a song dreaming about cooking with this new Coral pan ;)
