The cookware boasts an insulated double-wall design, so that it only needs to be heated for a short period of time in order to cook for hours—and once the high-tech cookware reaches the right temperature, home chefs only need to add their ingredients and go, as the cookware takes care of the rest. The [self-cooking process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nosh-robot-cooker) uses only retained heat to gently cook any meal, meaning that it operates without needing gas or electricity. As an app-enabled design, the cookware gives users the ability to [remotely monitor their meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cook-well) and get notifications when ready. Until the meal is ready to enjoy, the food stays at a perfect eating temperature and Zega's self-basting lid keeps food moist.
