You've really got to give a standing ovation. A long, loud, ovation standing on your two legs.

There has been a lot of talk going on about the great outpouring of gadgets for the demanding foodie-cook. I agree, hundreds of new products are launched every day, but I also stop to think, "Yeah! They are fancy, but are they really useful?". Among all this hype and hoopla, comes a kitchen product that takes your breath away by its sheer innovation.


The Single Person Cooker(SPC) by Alex Bradley shows us that its not all about Hi-tech electronics and fancy gadgets, but true lateral design. The SPC is one of 31 finalists in the Concept Products competition organised by the Daily Mail Ideal Home Show.

The Single Person Cooker is an ultra portable kitchen - a truly innovative design allows you to cook on the go or in a tight space. It really is neat form-follows-function design, somehow squeezing loads of useful, essential cooking items into one very small, yet stylish box. The lid doubles up as a Cutting board, and the unit makes space for pretty much everything you need to cook - Utensils, Heating Range(HOB), Bowls etc. Its all surprisingly low tech, the only thing that is high tech in this wonderful space saving, modular design is a WiFi connected screen to pull in recipes from the Internet. If there ever was a functional product that deserves its moniker "Kitchen-in-a-box", this is it.

The Single Person Cooker is a product, I as well as Mr.Bradley hope, that would be a great help for people living alone, in situations of space constraints, and especially for the ones who are always on the go. The concept prototype is great as it is, but future versions would most definitely include more items and more designs. Maybe now people would think about cooking for themselves and eating healthy, instead on solely relying on take out food. I tell you, wherever you order your take out, they always are unfailingly too salty and too greasy.

Whenever the product comes to our stores, I will buy one for myself instantly, cos' this is another great reason to remind my dear mother that I am gonna remain single for a long long time.
