Connected Traditional Cookers

The 'Stone Cooker' Uses Volcanic Stone to Safely Cook Foods

— January 30, 2018 — Art & Design
The conceptual 'Stone Cooker' looks to blend old techniques with new technology to create a piece of equipment for the home that will satisfy consumer demand.

Designed by Melahat Köşeli, the cooker works by incorporating a volcanic rock on the interior section that is heated with electricity to effectively create the perfect spot for preparing meals. This makes it ideal for advanced or amateur chefs who are looking for a simple way to cook that requires little oil to subsequently cut down on the amount of fat in foods.

The conceptual 'Stone Cooker' incorporates a digital interface for seamlessly selecting what kind of food you're cooking to ensure it's prepared perfectly. This speaks to consumers who are warming up to the idea of taking a more hands-off approach to their food preparation techniques in the kitchen.
