Just like something seen in one of the Back To The Future movies, the winner of the 2009 Electrolux Design Lab competition makes full size meals from small pouches. The pouches are like something we’ve seen astronauts get their food from only this nifty idea turns them into proper food, or at least, that’s the idea.
The Cocoon is a fish- and meat-generating microwave, intended as a solution to preserve fishing and farming resources.
The Cocoon was designed by Rickard Hederstierna of Sweden is intended to generate meat and fish dishes with the same ease that your own ‘wave pops corn. RFID technology culls cooking directions from muscle cells in small food pouches (like the salmon in the picture above) to automatically set cooking time and temperature.
Hederstierna received a 5,000 Euro (about $7,300) prize and a six-month internship in the Electrolux Design Lab.
The People’s Choice Award went to the Teleport Fridge, which beams fresh groceries into your kitchen at the touch of a button. The first-runner up was Penghao Shan’s water catcher, which collects and filters rain water for drinking. And third prize went to the Renew smart steamer by Louis Filosa.
