# Automated Stirring Devices The Stirio Helps to Constantly Stir a Pot on the Stove By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-11-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stir-a-pot References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/a-rechargeable-sous-chef-whose-only-job-is-to-stir-1464393617) & [unikia](http://unikia.com/stirio.html) Unikia's 'Stirio' is a device that completely automates any need to [stir a pot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circusos) that a chef might have. The task is not a difficult one, but if a particular dish requires constant agitation, the Stirio certainly helps to save you some time and effort. The [automated pot stirrer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenwood-cooking-chef) has adjustable arms, which latch onto the sides of a pot. Once it is in place, the Stirio raises and lowers to mix everything from morning porridges or hearty stews for dinner. The device has two stirring speeds and is capable of operating for up to 45 minutes without supervision. The device is simple to use and clean up afterwards. Most of its components (except the motor) are dishwasher-safe and after it is dry, it can be returned to its charging station to reboot its [rechargeable batteries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agari). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Automated Cooking Devices:** Opportunities to innovate and create devices that simplify and automate more cooking tasks, making cooking more accessible to everyone. - **Smart Kitchen Appliances:** Innovations in internet-of-things (IoT) technology to make kitchens smarter and more efficient. - **Hands-free Cookware:** Innovations in design to create more hands-free cookware that helps save time and makes cooking more accessible for those with disabilities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchen Appliance Industry:** Opportunities to innovate and create more energy-efficient, technologically advanced home appliances that simplify cooking for homeowners. - **Assistive Technology Industry:** Opportunities to create accessible, hands-free cookware for people with disabilities, such as those who cannot use their hands to stir pots. - **Smart Home Industry:** Opportunities to integrate IoT technology into homes to make kitchens smarter and more automated. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stir-Frying Kitchen Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botinkit-p-max.md) - [Powered Peanut Butter Mixers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-stirrer.md) - [Automated Meal Cooking Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/posha-kitchen-robot.md) - [Automated Sourdough Starter Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sourdough-sidekick.md) - [Reverse-Searing Recipe Cookers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agari-cooker.md) - [AI-Powered Cooking Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-cooking-system.md) - [Reusable Drink-Stirring Straws](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskee-straw.md) - [Smart Kitchen Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycook-next.md) - [All-in-One Smart Multi-Cookers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-multicookers.md)
