The Aurora Island by Scott Collins is a kitchen counter that is specifically designed for Indian cuisine.
Scott Collins' Aurora Island has an indoor traditional Tandoor oven and a spice rack on the side that is also refrigerated. A removable grill is also included and can be used for outdoor purposes as well.
Implications - Consumers are increasingly attracted to products with specialized purposes, and items like these definitely fall under that category. Because general-purpose appliances just can't offer them the same level of targeted capability, consumers are always drawn to products that make doing the things that matter to them (like cooking food from their homeland) easier, faster and ultimately more convenient.
