# Cinder Block Stoves Pita Bread Toaster by Adi Zaffran Matches the Elementary Makeup of Toast By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-01-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pita-bread-toaster-by-adi-zaffran References: [bookofjoe](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2012/01/pita-bread-toaster.html) & [adi.designgroup.co.il](http://adi.designgroup.co.il/toaster) I can't help but think of the 'The Toaster Project' by Thomas Thwaites when I look at this Pita Bread Toaster by Adi Zaffran. It is, however, much simpler in design and function. This inventive pizza oven appears to comprise, quite unelaborately, of a cement block, a couple of pieces of wood, some bent conductive rebar and an electrical cord. Together, these basic raw materials effectively serve to cook. The inspiration for this unusual appliance came from the very nature of the foods that might be baked within the eccentric open oven. Specifically, pita bread is a staple edible in the diets of many, made from a mixture of very few ingredients. Appropriately, the use of basic fundamental construction materials for the Pita Bread Toaster by Adi Zaffran references the rudimentary recipe for homemade grains. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sustainable Cooking:** Creating affordable and eco-friendly cooking innovations using basic raw materials. - **DIY Kitchen Appliances:** Designing easy-to-create cooking tools using simple construction materials. - **Alternative Cooking Methods:** Exploring new ways of cooking that go beyond conventional kitchen appliances and tools. ### Where This Applies - **Home Appliances:** Manufacturing affordable and environmentally friendly cooking appliances for home use. - **Construction:** Supplying raw materials and tools for DIY kitchen appliance creation. - **Food and Beverage:** Innovating new recipes and cooking methods that cater to alternative and sustainable cooking practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gas-Powered Toaster Oven Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cook-nook.md) - [Stovetop-Friendly Oven Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-oven-concept.md) - [Multi-Position Bread Toasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taurus-toaster-30.md) - [Modern Japanese Toasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanese-toaster.md) - [Ultra-Thin See-Through Toasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphene-transparent-toaster.md) - [Portable Wood-Powered Pizza Ovens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pi.md) - [Bakery-Grade Countertop Toasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balmuda-toaster-pro.md) - [Brick-Style Cooking Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bricknic-cooking-brick.md) - [Rocking Robotic Toaster Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-toaster.md)
