This Range Hood is Better Than Good

If you’ve ever been in a fancy kitchen where the stovetop is built-in to the island, then you know how inconvenient it can be to work around or carry on a conversation around a cumbersome range hood. Taking inspiration from “furoshiki” technique of wrapping objects, the Pareo is a creative solution that operates like a telescope to move out of your way when you aren’t using it. Genius!

Dip And Scoop

The Foldable Coffee Measuring Spoon can be used as a spoon for coffee powder – or salt, sugar, and even tea! The physics part of the design is this: a straight strip goes deeper into the powder than a spoon with a head. A simple pressure to the long shaft of the spoon results in the formation of a spoon head. This makes it easy to scoop up the powdery ingredient.

When you release the fingers, the spoon goes back its flat form and can be stored easily.

New Age In Cooking

The Cyclone Cooking System is quite a contemporary take on existing burners and cook-tops. Integrating high-tech features, you can expect the high-efficiency direct flame burners to make cooking a pleasurable and relatively a faster process. The LED indicator system is especially cool!

  • Turning the knob activates the system, and an indicator light (coming from bottom surface of the knob) illuminates the control areas.
  • Translucent silicon stoppers are highlighted by LEDs that are hidden below the burner plate.
  • The amount of illumination is calibrated to the power being consumed by the burner.
  • If the user supplies full power to the burner, intense light will be seen beneath the knob and on the stoppers.
  • At low power, a less intense light will be seen.
  • The burner in use can be easily detected, even in dark conditions.
  • If any liquid spills from a cooking pot and douses the burner flame, the lighting system will blink continuously. A beeping sound will also alert the user to the situation. All the warning signals stop when the related knob is turned off.
  • A concave base plate collects any spilled liquid at the centre for easy cleaning.
  • The burner plates can be made with stainless steel or cast iron, and shaped as thin sheets or metal blocks. Other parts of the system can be finished with different colours and materials.
  • The high-efficiency direct flame burners can be finished with two kinds of burner capping designs.
  • One has slanted grooves that generate a flame with a rotating movement effect. The other is perforated and produces a smooth flame effect that rises directly from the holes.

Cyclone Cooking System is a 2013 red dot award: design concept winner!

Straight From Chopping Board To The Fire

The Curling Pan is one heck of an innovation! Just imagine popping the cutting board onto the fire and get cooking right away! This means that the board is the pan. Crafted from shape-memory alloy, it transforms from a flat cutting board to a frying pan when it comes in contact with heat. The edges start to curl up after a certain temperature. This is because of the nature of the material with which it is made from: shape-memory alloy with a two-way memory effect. The material takes one particular shape when it is cool (flat board), and another when it is heated (frying pan). As it heats up the color of the pan changes from white to yellow to red.

Curling Pan is 2013 red dot award: design concept winner.

Double The Warmth

Inspired by the Asian idea that the earth was square and heaven was round, the Double Warm Multi-functional and Energy-efficient Coal Stove was conceptualized. It is designed to have a water-storage volume surrounding the furnace so that you can boil water while you use the stove for cooking. This hot water can be used for bathing etc. Nice idea, especially since it is aimed for the energy-starved counties where resources are expensive and scarce.

The Minimalist Coffee Brewing Scale

Fresh roasted beans, a nice dripper and fine-tuned grinder are great, but serious coffee drinkers know that using a scale rather than measured scoops is the only way to achieve the elusive perfect cup! For ease of use and cleanliness, the Acaia scale uses responsive, waterproof, touch-sensitive buttons and a flat, silicon bottom rather than extended feet to enhance it’s minimal look. Better yet, there’s an iPhone app that will not only show the weight, but keep track of brew time and coffee recipes!
