Cooking for Couch Potatoes

Cooking for Couch Potatoes

The Sensi Standmixer is an exploration into stretching the versatility of appliances to go beyond the confines of the kitchen. Instead of standing over the food item being processed, the user can remove the top portion of the device to monitor its progress via a camera and display connected over WiFi. Control the time, temperature, speed and more remotely from the comfort of the couch or while doing other household chores!

The Z Cool Fridge

The Z Cool Fridge

The Z-Refrigerator is a refrigerator, which has the function of professional cook’s fridge and is the size of a double-door fridge. It is has the Z structure; when door is opened to the left, there is a large space, and to the right is a space where drinks and instant food can be stored. The fridge also saves energy by minimizing the amount of cold air escaping at once. I think I like it more for its funky design more than anything else!

The Mini Blender

The Mini Blender

As far as kitchen appliances go, we have seen very little action with the hand blender. Limited innovations mean a lot of scope for improvement; maybe this is why I fancy this Mini Hand Blender concept. It’s an all-in-one deal that can be operated with one hand. The rechargeable unit can be turned on or off with the flick of the wrist. The Blender case, Blender, and mixing bowl are designed as a single unit so that the blades are kept hygienically stored and safe.

The Eggstractor

The Eggstractor

I’m totally trademarking that name BTW! Separating egg whites from the yolk can take some serious skill! That is… unless you have this modern whisk by Ivan Zhang. By slightly modifying the shape with a circular indention, the whisk catches the yolk, allowing the white to drip down. The whisk can then be used as normal to beat the eggs or stir your mixture. It makes separating effortless and better yet, keeps your hands clean of egg goo!

The Island Kitchen Is Finally Here

The Island Kitchen Is Finally Here

Space crunch + kitchen has always equalled to a compromised kitchen. Realistically speaking, designer Massimo Facchinetti has nailed it with his Ecooking vertical kitchen. This single module kitchen is a hub for sustainable cooking. The technologies of the project highlight energy-saving systems, and come integrated with an internal retrieval of energy system. This is achieved thanks to the close proximity and interaction of appliances with each other and the exchange of heat and moisture.

You have to credit the simplicity that the Fusion Kitchen Knives exude. A literal mix of East and West, Industrial design and craftsmanship, the knife set blend in the common language of design and tell the story. Handmade in Kyoto as a limited edition by Japanese artist- craftsman Issei Hanaoka, these knives are inspired by the traditional Japanese art of wood crafting and they have a minimalist design: extremely simple yet modern and universal.

Unexpected Combo Appliance

Unexpected Combo Appliance

I love a design that merges the functionalities of completely divided products. One part kettle, one part steamer, the Ketmer saves space by combining the two into one thoughtful kitchen accessory. It’s a must have for anyone who appreciates their steamed veggies as much as their afternoon tea.

Scoop 'n Weigh

Scoop ‘n Weigh

Scoop is an electronic scale integrated into the measuring scoop, intended for the local grocers who sell by the measure. It is not only handy in eliminating a step, but also promises accuracy. I can picture this being used in kitchens as well, especially when we need to bake and measure out the ingredients as accurately as possible. Over all, a nice plausible design!

Go Nuts!

Go Nuts!

The ZGRYZ (Polish for “bite”) nutcracker uses a geared lever mechanism to swiftly crush even the hardest nut shells without requiring a herculean effort. The jaws of this heavy-duty tool crack everything from almonds to walnuts, all while giving the user complete control of force to protect the precious meat inside. It’s efficient, compact, and ergonomically enhanced for hands of any age, size, or dominance.

Cookware Evolution

Cookware Evolution

Stone is a project that looks at how induction cooking hobs could be used to power everyday kitchen appliances like toasters and kettles, as well as how induction cooking could improve everyday cooking instruments such as grills and saucepans. The result is an aesthetic and functional evolution of cookware that is made of sustainable porcelain and birch, completely wireless, free of electrical components, and capable of being served directly from the stove to the table!

Polar Bear in your Freezer

Polar Bear in your Freezer

This clever ice cube tray takes the form of everyone’s favorite arctic animal- the polar bear! Simply fill it like a water bottle and throw it in the freezer. Because it’s sealed, it prevents the ice from absorbing the odors of your fridge or particles from other food items. You don’t even have to touch the cubes to remove- just bang it on the counter to loosen the cubes and they’ll fall right out.

Simpler isn't always better!

Simpler isn’t always better!

It was just a few days ago that I was in the midst of adding parmesan to my homemade pasta when I started pondering the old-fashioned grater that I was using. I was thinking, “this thing is so simple, yet so uncomfortable and hard to clean.” I wondered if it could be made better by simplifying it further. Needless to say, I never came up with a solution. BUT, looking at the Satellite Grater here, I now realize the answer wasn’t to simplify, it was to enhance! Check it out!

Plate-Oh! Plate!

Plate-Oh! Plate!

The Plate-Oh! is a biodegradable plate featuring a unique construction of 10 individual layers pressed together. What this means is that every time you use the plate, instead of discarding it, simply peel off the used upper layer and toss that away. In a jiffy you have a fresh plate!
