Cooker King Wok has a bionic design that is different from other competitors and perfectly fuses metal industry with biological aesthetics. The patterns on the bottom of wok are inspired from Aloe polyphylla that grows at approximately 5,000 m. Combined with its perfect geometric configurations, these patterns are arranged spirally, 54 columns of flames ascend up spirally along the fume guide slot disk to conduct heat uniformly, so that a heat eddy forms on the bottom of wok, 20% of the outer surface strengthens temperature holding and energy saving; and physically accelerates the heating rate, which in turn makes the wok heated in a faster and more energy-saving manner.

Cooker King Energy-saving Wok is designed with a sealed arch-shaped lid, when cooking food, the internal pressure will increase, making food cooked faster. And the arch-shaped lid is high, vapors will be cooled by the lid, then drip on the surface in the process of recirculation, as if the food was added with sauce continuously, which in turn makes the food taste better. Inside the wok, patterns look like petal leaves and keep the surface a certain distance from food materials, so the wok is physically non-sticky. The wok is 10CM deep, inner round with bottom, delivers the stir-frying experience like a mud stove. The design of thick bottom and thin walls can reduce the generation of fumes, accelerate the heating rate and make heat evenly distributed, and reduce the generation of fumes, so there is a little chance of causing local high temperature. The wok is die-casted in the non-riveted structure, can be cleaned immediately after washing, making you have the fun of cooling.

Cooker King Energy-saving Wok is a brilliant work that allows consumers to enjoy the healthy and energy-saving cooking process, and use the non-sticky wok at ease. The expected goal of this project has been attained through the mutual cooperation between Cooker King and Runitedesign, with good review broadly from consumers. Within one month after launching this product, the online ordered quantity about 100,000 that is beyond the expectation. This project provides consumers with a better option of cooking, so that the efficient and energy-saving life concept can be passed on.

Cooker King, founded in 1983, is a modern company specializing in the R&D, production and sales of healthy cookware and electrical appliances. The Company has always maintained a healthy, stable and rapid development, made continued efforts to expand the field of healthy cookware, launched a number of new products, with main products covering more than 200 models, it is regarded as the pioneer of life-oriented selenium supplementation.

23 full-time members participated in this project, including 3 researchers, 2 user experience engineers, 4 appearance designers, 2 structural designers, and 12 market operators. This project was completed by Cooker King in cooperation with Runitedesign. Cooker King’s team collected and sorted market information, then gave feedback to Runitedesign’s team who later came up with an initial concept, two teams spent several weeks to study the market pain and product ID, established the final direction after rounds of discussion, Cooker King’s technicians provided guidance for production and directly communicated with the factory in later phase, and the operation team was in charge of the supply channel to open up a whole channel ranging from product R&D to goods delivery.

This project exploited the advantage of mutual collaboration between customer and the two teams, based on the organized design concept, analyzed and considered the problems of this product when linked with brand, market and consumers, so as to identify the real pain suffered by users. The use of functional analysis and portraits continuously diverges and focuses to get a higher design value, thereby providing an accurate product positioning for subsequent design. In addition, with design playing the pivotal role and primary structure playing the supporting role, aiming at the production and process effect, this project was completed through collaboration.

The 23 members who participated in the project are experienced in team management and project operation. It took 6 months from project imitation to launching, with a total investment of RMB850,000. For market research: RMB50,000, for product development investment: RMB100,000, for molding: RMB400,000, for product promotion: RMB 300,000.

This project intends to design an energy-saving healthy wok with absolute industrial competition that aims at the mid-market and upmarket. Thanks to the tireless efforts made by these members, the product with appearance, performance and quality that suits the mid-market and upmarket is finally launched. This project responds to the great strategy of creating product of excellent and delivering ultimate experience as laid down by the Company.
