Production Technology
The main body is crafted from PC and ABS, featuring high strength, heat resistance, and a lightweight construction. Its surface boasts a matte finish to increase grip friction. Moreover, non slip silicone covers are applied to key contact areas such as the jaws and handle, seamlessly adapting to wet, slippery kitchen conditions.
Design Challenge
The challenge was ensuring each integrated function remains user friendly and interference free. Thereby, the product is meticulously engineered to create a unified form that aligns with natural usage sequences and force application logic. The top jaws are designed to securely grasp the edges of bowls or plates. The middle section features concave surfaces to firmly cradle jar bodies, thus providing effective leverage for opening. The base boasts anti slip grooves to stably support trays.
Research
With deep insights into high frequency kitchen tasks and user pain points, the product redefines both functionality and user experience. It ingeniously integrates anti scald and jar opening capabilities, meeting the diverse needs of kitchen settings. Combined with its precise ergonomic design and one pressing locking and automatic releasing mechanism, the product fully satisfies the demand of modern kitchens for convenience, efficiency, and safety.
Inspiration
In the kitchen, people often face minor yet frustrating challenges: burning their fingers on the edges of hot bowls or plates, struggling to carry trays steadily, or wrestling with stubborn jar lids. However, most existing anti scald tools are limited in functionality and feature bulky, impractical designs, failing to meet diverse kitchen needs. Considering that, this product aims to offer an efficient, user friendly, and versatile solution that balances kitchen safety with convenience of use.
Project Duration
The project started in Shenzhen on December 1, 2025. The product will be launched in Shenzhen in May 2026.
Operation Flow
The top jaws can be flipped to switch between orientations, securely grasping straight rimmed bowls or flat edged plates. The central concave surfaces firmly cradle jar bodies and leverage mechanical advantage to open lids easily. The base boasts anti slip grooves to stably support trays. The ergonomic handle with the optimized curve and grip size reduces the force required for operation.
A one pressing locking and automatic releasing mechanism ensures compact storage and convenient access.
