First Proposals
Concept 2
This concept combines the portable
heating device with a chamber, to act as a
transparent airfryer.
Concept 1
The first concept is of a simple ‘stick’-like
handheld device that would offer deft
usage to the user for a variety of cooking
techniques, as demonstrated in the previous
experiments.
It would have knob control elements to
make it easy for one handed operation,
and the straight rod would allow the user
to handle it in a grip that would be comfortable.
The idea was to move away from the
existing airfryer designs that look mechanical
and inhumane (refer to page X
of Annex for airfryer market matrix), and
with the usage of glass involve the user
visually in the cooking experience.
Since the heat gun uses the same combination
of a heating element and a fan in an
airfryer (albeit small versions) it would be
possible to attach and detach with ease.
The large outlet would be useful to broil
a bigger surface area as compared to the
nozzle in existing heat guns.
