The trend of restaurant-grade kitchen appliances--Sub-Zero 'fridges, Williams-Sonoma cookware--has finally come to encompass ovens. TurboChef is a blazingly fast, four-way (convection, microwave, steam, infrared) cooking device that can make 25-minute souffles in two minutes.
As detailed in this excellent Times article, the manufacturers of the TurboChef hired both marketer-anthropologist G. Clotaire Rapaille (who, thank God, is famous for pooh-poohing focus groups) and California-based Frog Design to develop their product, which features an iPod-like click wheel as its main interface.
The TurboChef isn't short on features, but it clearly wasn't designed in Manhattan; if it was, they'd know we space-tight Manhattanites like to store our sweaters in the oven starting in Spring, and they'd make us a nice little shelf.
