ma/Hob

The shrinking of kitchen spaces has blurred the boundary of cooking, especially for young renters in small spaces. After talking to friends who have lived with tiny kitchens, I realized that they sometimes prefer cooking with friends outside their kitchenette, or have to buy their own kitchen products to add to the poorly equipped kitchen.

I want to facilitate this cooking pattern by designing a portable kitchen product. Hob is a portable kitchen hood with an activated charcoal built in. It could be inserted beneath the portable induction cooker to capture the smoke and grease on a larger range. The three gears suit different heights of kitchenware.
