Candy, an Italian kitchenware design and manufacturer, is actively exploring the global kitchen electricity market. Facing the impact of current intelligent cooking products and food culture, how to define a gas stove for young consumers to open up comprehensive markets in Asia and overseas is the demand of this project. Candy opened a gas stove disassembly workshop for this purpose and provided 4 different grades of burners for final product development. In the early stage of this project, two major directions were carried out: cross-cultural cooking experience research and kitchen electricity product hardware technology exploration. Facing the experimental group of mixed nationality, we tried to make dishes of different cultures and set up 3 observers according to the experience elements to record the whole process of using gas stove. During the discussion at the table meeting, we found that the complexity of the use of gas stoves and the uncertainties in the cooking process brought about higher use costs and safety concerns, but most young people are still actively trying to make food by hand, because it is related to health and the yearning for a higher quality of life.

The final product is designed for young consumers who are single or have just started a new family. It is equipped with 4 burners and is designed with unequal bow-shaped brackets to be compatible with different Chinese and Western vessel types. The expanded layout design supports multi-person cooperative cooking and enjoys the fun of making delicious food by hand. The pop-up control knob design makes cleaning of the stove easier. We equipped one of the mechanical valves with a stepper motor, combined with ZigBee communication technology users can easily set preset cooking content on the mobile phone. The QUICK MODE button of the gas stove accepts the setting of the mobile phone program to assist users to complete the repetitive cooking process efficiently and safely.
