Electrolux's Design lab has done it again, and have impressed me with each of their concept designs. These are truly the most innovative and creative kitchen gadgets out there. Some of the impressive designs were the compact living solutions. An interesting finalist submitted the robotic fish dishwasher, wow even the name is so cool! Lets take a look at some of the finalists...
The photo shown above is a very interesting concept. I think the concept is cool and all, but aren't we fat enough in the U.S.? Well, I say that because this gadget allows you to live in a virtual world, and you simply have to think about preparing and cooking the food which then gets transmitted to robotic chefs who does the work for you. It is kind of like the Matrix type of gadgetry. Maybe one day, I can just think about being a billionaire and then robots will deliver them to me. Truly amazing, but truly fostering laziness. The benefits stated behind this concept is the fact that we will no longer need to have individual appliances thus saving space. No disrespect to the ultra smart people who are designing this but, aren't the robots appliances and if there are no appliances where will they cook the food, through their robot butts? Don't ask me about where they will dispense the water.... Anyways, this is very futuristic and very cool.
Ok, this next gizmo is called the, Bx7 Preparation Unit which is basically a gadget that mixes ingredients to provide you with meals on the go by just adding water. Makes things more convenient and it is also connected to the internet... ok buddy, what gadget nowadays is not. Anyways, the internet connectivitiy basically allows reordering of the yummy food capsules that will provide you with the nutritious meals on the go.
Now this next kitchen gadget concept is actually one I would buy and my vote is for this one to win. My only problem with this thing is its name, "The Snail", and you will understand why when you read what you do with this snail. The concept is quite ingenious and useful. Have you ever packed a lunch for a trip or for work and usually stick with sandwiches or something you can either keep in a cooler or doesn't need heating? Well this gadget will allow you to stick this snail to either a pot, pan or mug as shown above and it heats up the contents for you. The portability is really cool allowing you to cook with less hassles or to reheat your food. It is also smart enough to detect the food type and will adjust the time needed and temperature. Wow, I just don't like the name Snail for some reason looking like it is about to crawl into my coffee and give me a surprise, but other than that, I think this one will be the winner!
