The conceptual 'Decker' electric cooking appliance is an efficient kitchen countertop solution that would provide chefs with the ability to create premium recipes without the need for gas or charcoal. The grill is designed with Millennial and Gen Z chefs in mind who might have limited access to cooking on an outdoor grill, while providing them with additional functionalities to boot. The unit can thus be used for grilling as well as oven and stovetop cooking, which can be intuitively controlled via the physical interface or the accompanying smartphone app.
The conceptual 'Decker' electric cooking appliance is the design work of Vyasateja Rao, Joel D’silva, Anil Ramesh and Arun Kumar of Analogy Design, and was explained further by the team: "We worked to understand the core user and their daily habits, likes, and dislikes as well as the environment in which the product is likely to be used. Using a bunch of observational research as well as qualitative questions, we were able to get a ton of insights into how we can move away from the traditional kitchen appliance."
