# Practically Flat Portable Cookers The ‘Fold Flat Grill' Makes Barbecues Seem Easier By Senduran Bhakthakumaran | Published 2012-04-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-flat-grill References: [materialicious](http://www.materialicious.com/2012/04/the-fold-flat-grill.html) & [bonjourlife](http://bonjourlife.com/the-fold-flat-grill/) No need to worry about taking apart the home barbecue and packing it up safely to take to the beach with the ‘Fold Flat Grill’ from Hammacher Schlemmer. This grill is just like the fold out chairs you’ll be packing as it condenses to a mere 1-inch thick. This makes the cooker the most portable cooking grill out there. It can slide safely in between whatever else is packed in the trunk for a day out in the sun or can be stowed away easily in the home until the next backyard barbecue. It hasn’t sacrificed cooking space on its stainless steel body either, so large family get-togethers can be maintained with ease. Hammacher Schlemmer has put out a product that will challenge grills everywhere to lose some weight. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portable Grills:** The trend of portable grills allows for convenient and easy outdoor cooking experiences. - **Space-saving Cookers:** Space-saving cookers, like the 'Fold Flat Grill', offer innovative solutions for compact storage and transportation. - **Outdoor Cooking Accessories:** The rise of outdoor cooking accessories provides opportunities for businesses to cater to the growing demand for convenient and portable grilling equipment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Equipment:** The outdoor equipment industry can embrace the trend of portable grills and develop innovative products. - **Home Appliances:** The home appliances industry has the potential to integrate space-saving cookers into their product offerings. - **Retail and E-commerce:** Retailers and e-commerce platforms can capitalize on the demand for outdoor cooking accessories by offering a wide range of innovative products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collapsible Top-Heated Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revo-stovigo.md) - [Flatpack Titanium Camper Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-titanium-grill.md) - [Slender Off-Grid Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weber-traveler-portable-gas-grill.md) - [Multilayer Portable Charcoal Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbeall-portable-charcoal-grill.md) - [Suitcase-Style Outdoor Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b2q-kit.md) - [Portable Suitcase-Style Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuanye-folding-barbecue.md) - [Ultra-Compact Cooking Grills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-grill.md) - [High-End Flattop Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traeger-flatrock-grill.md) - [Communal Outdoor Cooking Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-grill-table.md)
