Ergonomic Manual Kitchen Grinders

The JIA Inc. Rolling Mortar Easily Tackles Herbs, Seeds and More

— December 20, 2019 — Art & Design
A mortar and pestle are essential for preparing a wide array of recipes but can be somewhat uncomfortable to use for extended periods, so the JIA Inc. Rolling Mortar is designed to change this.

The kitchen accessory features a porcelain base along with a wooden oak wheel that can be easily gripped in the hand to grind herbs, crush seeds and much more. The sculpted design of the wheel means it will feel comfortable in the hand when used continuously for crushing ingredients, which will come as welcome news to anyone who has experienced hand cramps after using a traditional mortar and pestle.

The JIA Inc. Rolling Mortar allows for a soothing rolling motion to be used when preparing recipes, which is likely to be favored by chefs of all experience levels.
Trend Themes
1. Ergonomic Kitchen Accessories - There is an opportunity for kitchen accessory manufacturers to redesign traditional tools to reduce discomfort and strain for extended periods of use.
2. Sculpted Hand Grips - Designers can create comfortable hand grips with sculpted designs to provide ergonomic relief for frequently used tools.
3. Motion-based Kitchen Tools - Kitchen tool makers can add motion-based function to traditional tools to ease strain and fatigue on users.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchenware - Kitchen utensil and tool manufacturers can incorporate ergonomic designs into traditional tools to provide relief for users and differentiate themselves in the market.
2. Cooking Schools - Cooking schools can add new courses that teach students about the benefits of ergonomic kitchen tools for more productive cooking and reduced pain during culinary work.
3. Home Decor - Home decor companies can offer kitchen accessories with both functional and design-forward features, like sculpted hand grips, for an added touch of style and comfort.
