Mobile kitchen: how to cook food on your laptop
In the age of computerization and mobility, there are millions of people taking advantage of the new technologies. There are already hundreds of jobs that only need a laptop and Internet connection to get things done, such as programmers, FOREX traders, writers, designers or webmasters, and the fact that they can work and make money from anywhere in the world, has been a subject of jealousy for people of other, “less mobile” professions. However, things are changing quickly and it looks like the happy crowd of mobile workers will be soon joined by no one else but COOKS (what a surprise).
Introducing the concept of the mobile kitchen designed for Electrolux by Dragan Trenchevski.
This conceptual wunderwaffle that cooks can take with them everywhere is going to have an induction cooking element and a built-in grater. Not only that, it can also act as a high-tech cutting-board and, obviously, a mobile computer with a touchscreen interface, Bluetooth, wi-fi, webcam and a cooking book loaded on it.
As much as I like the concept of a notebook kitchen, it’s highly unlikely that such a device would work to begin with. There are obvious issues such as overheating of computer components, cleaning (imagine hot oil spitting out from a frying pan going everywhere or pasta water boiling over), condensation of steam on a screen so you won’t be able to see a thing, and power requirements (I doubt it would be possible to squeeze enough power from built-in battery to cook even a simple fried egg). Despite all that, the device looks fabulous and… it never hurts to dream, doesn’t it?

You know – people are too attached to their electronics as it is. Next thing you know they’ll be texting while cooking – do you think oil splashing up on their wrists while they are hitting keys or buttons will cure that desire?
I don’t know…. LOL
I’ll give you a stumble. Thanks for visitng Classics 4 Kids… Tina
Hehe, you’re right. I bet they would call that “heated conversations”
Wow what will they think of next!! I stumbled you!
fantastic and creative. I am with you, it won’t work unless they keep all the components separately and on the monitor screen as with the ipad. I love to see an ipad on my range though. To view recipes and tutorials. That would be awesome!
Interesting…stumbling.
Interesting! I never could have imagined such a thing – it wouldn\’t be for me no matter if they figured out a way to make it work or not. Thanks for the stumble.
My old laptop used to get so hot that it probably could have cooked something. Fun concept! I stumbled back.
Hi! Thanks for stumbling me, I just stumbled you back
I think this is bad idea. It’s impossible to protect computer components if there will be higt temperature on laptop box.
This is really convenient for us cooks lol! I wish I’m one.. but seriously, this will become a big hit when it actually come in the market
Thanks for stumbling my post! I’m returning the favor
Stop on over at my blog for the Stumble Me Friday hop!
Hi – thanks for stopping by Holiday Traditions – I’ve got’cha stumbled! =D Tina
Yeah, it doesn’t hurt to dream. That was kinda cool, browsing my facebook while cooking.. Or maybe cooking, sharing recipes with my friends while on a video call..
Okay that is too funny. It needs a little pull-out keyboard though. While the meat is simmering, you need to be able to update your statuses. :O) I socialadr’d you.
Insane! Once again blown away.
This is completely innovative but very doubtful whether consumers will be interested. Imagine spilling something over it or some drops of water causing a short circuit. Doesn’t look too safe to me.
