I use a rice cooker, so if I got pots, I would also need to buy a stove......



you already have a stove.....it's called a radiator, dude.

just put some cheap pots atop the radiator. check water level daily.
you're not boiling water....just letting it evaporate.

don't wanna buy pots? fine. get some cheap metal bowls or
a crappy metal teapot from the 2-kuai store.

and about that smell....have you cleaned behind the radiators?

Are you challenging me? Hmm.....what qualifications do you hold?

I doubt the pots alone would do much. Why don't I just pour water on the pipes?

How to Make a DIY Humidifier

Humidifiers improve the amount of moisture in the air, but can be costly and require frequent cleaning to prevent dust mites and mold growth. Before electric-powered humidifiers were available, radiators and pots were the only option for adding moisture to your home. As the radiator warms the bottom of the pot, the water's temperature increases and evaporates into the air to improve humidity, according to CBS News. Be sure to keep hot pots of water away from children and english teachers to avoid accidents.

Instructions

Things You'll Need: Cooking pots or bowls

1. Fill a clean pot with 3 to 4 inches of tap water, and place the uncovered pot on top of the steam radiator.

2. Place a water-filled pot in each room, or place several pots in a single room for larger rooms that lack moisture.

3. Refill the pot every 2 to 3 days, or whenever there is 1 inch or less of water remaining in the pot. The heat from the radiator warms up the pot's water and slowly distributes moisture.

Is that the 2011 version of a cracker jack box warming your undergarments (for a millisecond at best)?

So far, open windows 5 points, water on radiator 0.
