# Military-Grade Food Cookers The 'YABUL Cook' Prepares Meals in a Compact, Lightweight Design By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-01-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yabul-cook References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yabul/yabul-cook-worlds-1st-flameless-silicone-cooker) & [ybcook](https://www.ybcook.com/) The 'YABUL Cook' has been designed as a military-grade piece of equipment that will enable users to cook their favorite foods when camping or spending extended periods in the wilderness. The unit works by incorporating a [flameless silicone design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heatwave-go-n01) that will warm up your favorite prepackaged foods in a quick manner to get you eating faster than ever. The unit works by utilizing chemical packs that will bring water to a boil in about 10 minutes that can then be used for [heating up foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reheatly) on your campsite or in your home. The unit features a flexible design that won't take up lots of space in your pack to ensure it can be packed away seamlessly when getting ready for an adventure. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Chemical-free Camping Cookers:** Opportunity for a new line of cookers without the need for chemical packs. - **Portable Flameless Cookers:** Opportunity for new entrants to create lightweight, flameless cookers for outdoor enthusiasts. - **Smart Cooking Systems:** Opportunity for innovators to develop integrated cooking systems that provide automated meal preparation through the use of smart technology. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Recreational Equipment:** Companies within this industry can develop flameless cookers aimed at outdoor enthusiasts. - **Food and Beverage Industry:** There is an opportunity for companies within this industry to create pre-packaged meals that can be heated without the need for chemical packs. - **Smart Home Industry:** Innovators can create devices that integrate with smart home technology to provide automated meal preparation in homes and apartments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Outdoor Stove Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lava-box.md) - [Portable Electric Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-electric-pot.md) - [All-in-One Camper Cooking Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camprit-tistove.md) - [Outdoor Dining Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savour-kit.md) - [Dual-Purpose Camping Stoves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-maple-sunflower-x.md) - [Convertible Outdoor Cooking Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooking-systems.md) - [Portable Suitcase-Style Barbecues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuanye-folding-barbecue.md) - [Smartwatch-Inspired Portable Microwaves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campo-portable-microwave.md) - [Four-in-One Outdoor Cooking Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-fire-cooking-platform.md)
