They may actually involve more work, but cook-your-own restaurants have an undoubted appeal for customers. The Electrolux Spacepan could determine whether or not this is as popular a concept at home.
Designer Christian Bakkhaug
of Norway has dished out this sleek disc-shaped hotplate that incorporates two heating elements to accommodate a pair of saucepans, skillets or frying pans. It can be set up in any room of the house, although many may find it most convenient in kitchens or dining rooms and in studio apartments.
The Electrolux Spacepan's most convenient application has got to be its placement in the center of the kitchen table. Here, the whole family can have a hand in cooking the hot course and the space-saving stove can keep supper warm between one's first and second servings.
