I'm in possession of Japanese mini cakes/pastries that are filled with some kind of seed/bean paste.The clear plastic wrapper has a smaller white packet affixed to the inside, and once I open the outer wrapper, this white packet immediately begins heating itself.It doesn't get too hot, just a few degrees above body temperature, I'd say.Does anyone know what this is, what activates it, and what its purpose might be?The writing on the wrapper is all Japanese except for the words quot;Seiyo Kyujitsuquot; and quot;Hakata Torimon.quot;
Put enough water in the container to make the vermiculite wet and and the squeeze out the excess water . That is what I do . I do the same for all my incubation boxes
Yeah, I don't do an exact ratio... I add enough so that it's not sopping wet. You'll be able to tell. It'll be moist enough so that it's not falling out of your hand, but it won't be dripping. Unless you have a good digital scale, you won't be able to do the ratio as it's by weight, not by volume. Generally this ratio is about 1:1 up to 1:4 of vermiculite to water. I prefer to make it less wet and add some if needed.
