High-end kitchen appliances and gadgets can get pretty high tech if you’re willing to spend some money, and appliance manufacturers know it. Most manufacturers are always on the look out for ways to design and build next-generation products that pack more tech into smaller space. Electrolux recently held their annual Design Lab Competition, and the winner was The Snail, a concept portable induction heater that may one day replace the need for traditional stoves and cook-tops.
The Snail was the brainchild of designer Peter Alwin, who envisioned a kitchen without a range, but instead the ability to attach a gadget to the side of a pot or saucepan and use induction heating to cook the contents of the pan. It’s up to Electrolux now to decide whether The Snail is worth the investment to bring into reality, but the idea of truly portable cooking without the need to set up a camp stove, build a fire, or bring along a generator is pretty compelling.
