Disguised Skillet Designs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The PanHandler Concept Becomes a Bowl at the Touch of a Button

— August 26, 2012 — Art & Design
Scott Young's PanHandler concept is a combination skillet and bowl designed chiefly for convenience. Young's concept is essentially a skillet with a detachable handle. The PanHandler can handle temps as high as 750 degrees Fahrenheit and is made out of nano ceramic material and eco-friendly Silicone. The idea behind the design is that going from the stove to the dinner table should be as effortless as possible.

Some people, college students especially, prefer to do their cooking using a microwave. Young took this into consideration when designing the PanHandler concept. The skillet is microwave-safe, something that should help it appeal to those whose best recipes are Ramen and PB&J. Here's hoping that Young or some cookware company decides to bring the PanHandler into production, if only to throw a bone to those who still do dishes by hand.
Trend Themes
1. Effortless Cookware - The PanHandler concept combines convenience and functionality to create an effortless cooking experience.
2. Microwaveable Skillets - Combining traditional cooking utensils with microwaveable features enhances appeal to a larger audience.
3. Eco-friendly Materials - The use of nano ceramic material and eco-friendly silicone provides an eco-conscious solution to cookware design.
Industry Implications
1. Cookware Industry - Companies in the cookware industry can utilize the PanHandler concept to create innovative products that combine convenience and functionality.
2. Microwave Industry - The microwave industry can take advantage of the appeal of microwaveable cookware to target a younger audience.
3. Eco-friendly Products Industry - Companies in the eco-friendly products industry can use the PanHandler's use of sustainable materials to create more environmentally conscious cooking utensils.
