Microwave redesigned to be rounder and hold condiments

It’s been a while that someone has made the effort to redesign the microwave from the ground up. So far it’s only about adding features and technology. The Hybrid & Wide-Oven gives a whole new form for the oven – round! It also hosts four little pots to hold condiments and seasonings that you could use in the dish that you are cooking in the oven.

The purpose of the round design, is so that you can remove your dish with more ease and not burn your hands. I can live with that insight – and to be honest, most homes can do with the new form. My only worry is the stowing of ingredients on top of the oven. Typically you want to keep this space empty and for ventilation, but you never know … this concept could spark a debate or new thinking.
