For cubicle rats, a portable kitchen

(Credit: Yanko Design)

Whatever designer NoJae Park was thinking, he may just have hit the jackpot with this portable kitchen for cubicle rats permanently tethered to their PCs, thanks to deadlines. How many times have we wished we could pack a mini microwave/fridge/pantry right on our desk?

Park's appliance packs the four essentials of a kitchen: a stainless plate for warming meals; an electric stove; a dish drawer; and a mini-fridge. The design cleverly works on energy-saving power and safety features to avoid accidents. Now all that remains is for Electrolux--which organized the contest--to buy into Park's idea, get this into production pronto, and retail it at an affordable price. There'll be no shortage of takers from CNET Asia.

Why just limit it to the office? A ton of people would love this in their bedrooms instead of having to walk all the way down to the kitchen. (We're such a lazy culture)

This will be perfect for those office potluck parties and chili cook-offs!

I hate to point out errors.. but.... it's a electric Burner and not a Microwave....

There are four main parts to this product; a stainless plate for meal prep and warming, an electric stove for cooking, a dish drawer for storage, and a mini-fridge. If it looks like a filing cabinet, don?t hate - it?s supposed to slip under your desk. This is perfect for someone who eats at the desk, like I am doing now. Mmm. . . ramen.

Too bad it does not run off your USB port...
