Egrill Cooktop: You Will Fall for this Party Egg

It’s an egg you will fall head over heels for at parties, except that, it is not an egg. It is an egg shapped cooktop, rather an Egrill, an outdoor barbeque grill. In a way, the grill can turn an otherwise dull dinner event to an exciting one on its own! Industrial design engineer and artist Michael Weaker has designed the aesthetic piece, with thoughtfulness and attention to detail while maintaining a simplistic focus.
Here is how it works. The egg-shaped grill is made from three inches thick ThermoCera. This material is pumice-like ceramic that allows light to pass through will holding heat. The Egrill’s lid can be opened and move away for convenience, because of its unique joint connection.

It is almost like one is opening the smaller elliptical end of the egg into a lid. Egrill’s three legs are made from cast aluminium. While the warm colour of the cooking fire glows from inside the grill to add zing to the outdoor cooking experience, the look of this Egrill is something you will vouch for before looking at any other such grill. It sure is a buy you want to show off to your peers.

The Future Of Modern Cooking Is Here

The maker Electrolux claims it to be the most beautiful cooktop in the world. Rightly named Aurora, the newest illuminated induction cooktop by the international home appliances brand is a perfect blend of latest technology with modern art. Aurora will impress you because it’s clean in white and looks like an elaborate chopping board. Yes, its minimalist and futuristic design is its biggest strength.

Based on a white Corian base, Aurora has 4 separately controlled induction zones ensuring a powerful, safe and precise cooking experience. The 9 heat settings and booster function for all zones allows you to maximise output with a lot of ease. Then there are the additional techie razzmatazz like touch controls, cooking timer with an acoustic signal, Stop/Go function, child lock and a safety cut-out.

Kudos to all the technology and research gone into Aurora but frankly, we are more smitten by it’s unusual design. The LED perimeter lends its own drama while the white base assures us of cleanliness with a touch of the modern. A great item for $10,000 to blur the distinction between the kitchen and the living area.
