Design Challenge:
Traditional home-made waffles are an important American and Scandinavian tradition, much more so than in the UK. Delicious to taste and relatively easy to make it is surprising that this tradition has not caught on so much in Britain. Perhaps this is due to the fact that it is near impossible to find a waffle cooker here? Maybe the ones that do exist are not nearly interesting enough?

The challenge here was to design a new look waffle cooker for a young and contemporary London family with 2.4 spoilt children.

Design Solution:
Similar in design to Al Dente (the pasta cooker) this product is designed to make cooking waffles even more fun. With a stainless steel body and heat resistant injection moulded plastic handles, the product has an almost 'friendly pet' character. The body is reminiscent of a UFO, with a large heart shape at the top to control its heat. The heart shape actually is the same shape as the waffles when baked. The waffle ingredients are simply poured onto the heating element to produce waffles in just a few minutes.
