Cooking can generate volumes of dirty dishes, but the creators of the Curling Pan endeavored to reduce the potential mess. Part of the kitchen clutter is the result of requiring various vessels and implements for different tasks, so this 2013 Red Dot Design Award winner helps you to carry out at least two part of the recipe-making process with just one item.
Lee Juan and Lee Jee Won serve up a flat and square-shaped surface with a handle. This is easy to stack and store compactly, and it functions as a chopping board. Now, with all of your diced ingredients upon the panel, simply place the Curling Pan onto a stovetop element. The shape-memory alloy material will begin to bend upwards in the corners, turning into a frying pan that gently encloses your heating meal.
