Slightly bend the metal until it pops (the metal, not the plastic ;)

This will start the hand warmer going. The liquid will crystallize, giving off heat.

When done, you can heat it in a pot of hot (near boiling) water and reuse.

Is sodium acetate in hand warmers?

Contained inside re-usable hand warmers is a super-saturated solution of sodium acetate. When a metal disk inside is bent, it forms a nucleation site for crystals. The supersaturated solution forms a crystaline hydrate, and releases heat in the process. The solution can be reformed by heating the crystaline hydrate.
