Pocket-Sized Water Scales

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Handy Meter Helps Chefs Save Water

— July 26, 2011 — Art & Design
Cooking with liquids could become less of an approximating matter and more of an exact science thanks to the Handy Meter. The Handy Meter was designed by Jeon Hwan Soo as a pocket-sized gadget that could screw onto taps or bottles to measure the amount of liquid coming out.

The Handy Meter is one of those concepts that I think the world could use right now, not 20 or 30 years in the future. Water conservation efforts are at an all-time high around the world, and saving every drop counts, whether it's out on the farm or in the kitchen. I am not saying a device that helps you measure the exact amount of liquids you need to use when cooking would save the world, but it certainly couldn't hurt.
Trend Themes
1. Water Conservation - Developing advanced tools and technologies that enable precise measurement of liquids can contribute to water conservation efforts.
2. Kitchen Gadgets - The demand for innovative kitchen gadgets like the Handy Meter is on the rise as consumers seek convenient and efficient solutions for cooking.
3. Smart Measuring Devices - The emergence of pocket-sized smart measuring devices opens up opportunities for creating more accurate and portable measurement solutions across various industries.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can benefit from the integration of smart measuring devices like the Handy Meter to enhance precision in recipe creation and optimize resource usage.
2. Agriculture - The Handy Meter or similar water scale technologies can be utilized in the agriculture industry to monitor and conserve water usage during irrigation processes, leading to more sustainable farming practices.
3. Consumer Electronics - The demand for portable and user-friendly smart measuring devices creates opportunities for the consumer electronics industry to develop and market innovative gadgets that cater to various measurement needs.
