Single-Serve Cookers

The 'Whirlpool Fastronomy' Automatically Cooks a Serving of Fresh Food

— June 25, 2013 — Lifestyle
Creating a single serving of fresh and healthy food, the Whirlpool Fastronomy automatically cooks up anything you want. Shaped like a glass capsule, the cooker takes a single vacuum packed container of foodie goodness. Fastronomy cooks your ingredients to create a meal for one person so that you don't have to worry about leftovers or waste.

A few minutes of being blasted with hot air and steam cooks the pre-packaged ingredients so that you can avoid eating frozen microwave dinners. Mounted on pikes, the food cooks evenly in the container with little mess and effort.

Conceived by designer Kim Risager, the concept cooker aims to provide Scandinavians with a convenient way to eat healthier and enjoy home-cooked meals again. Risager envisions the Fastronomy being accompanied by a food retail service that provides pre-packaged ingredients.
Trend Themes
1. Single-serve Cookers - The 'Whirlpool Fastronomy' offers a single serving of fresh food, catering to the growing demand for convenience and healthy eating.
2. Automated Cooking - The Whirlpool Fastronomy utilizes automation to cook meals, reflecting the trend towards time-saving and effortless cooking solutions.
3. Home-cooked Convenience - The concept of Fastronomy and its accompanying food retail service brings the convenience of home-cooked meals to busy individuals, addressing the need for quick and nutritious food options.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliances - The single-serve cooker trend presents an opportunity for home appliance companies to develop innovative cooking devices that cater to the demand for convenience and healthier eating options.
2. Meal Delivery Services - The Fastronomy concept cooker could disrupt the meal delivery industry by offering individual cooking solutions, providing consumers with freshly made meals that they can prepare quickly at home.
3. Food Packaging - The Fastronomy's reliance on vacuum-packed containers creates potential for innovation in food packaging, as companies develop sustainable and efficient packaging solutions for single-serve meals.
