Nukit Portable Steamer Serves Up Healthy Lunch On the Go

— May 14, 2011 — Unique
It's hard to get into the habit of bringing homemade lunch to work, but the Nukit Portable Steamer makes it easy, economical, healthy and delicious.

Essentially a snack container, the product is composed of a glass bowl, a silicone casing, strap and strainer, and a lid with a fork and knife stuck inside. The purpose of such an object with several different parts is to simplify an otherwise complicated task -- at least steaming vegetables can be quite cumbersome the moment you leave your own kitchen. The Nukit Portable Steamer is dishwasher-safe, BPA-free and conceived by Cathy Wilson with Quirky Design to cook anything from pasta and rice to brocoli, beans and carrots in the microwave, acting as a trivet, a tray, a bowl and a transporter for eating out of the house.
Trend Themes
1. Portable Meal Steamer - Opportunity to disrupt the traditional food storage industry and deliver compact alternatives for professionals on-the-go.
2. Microwavable Food Prep Containers - Innovation opportunities exist for designing compact, customizable, and eco-friendly meal prep containers for busy and health-conscious people.
3. Multi-functional Food Storage - Design multi-functional food storage containers that simplify meal preparation for busy professionals and provide economic benefits.
Industry Implications
1. Food Storage - The food storage industry has an opportunity to create portable and compact food steaming containers that cater to the growing demand for on-the-go food solutions.
2. Meal Prep - Manufacturers can design microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe meal prep containers with several compartments to accommodate different food groups and serve the needs of busy professionals.
3. Kitchenware - There is room for innovation in the kitchenware industry to deliver multi-functional cooking products that can be used in microwaves and steam ovens.
