About this project
AN AMAZING AND INNOVATIVE TECH COOKING SYSTEM
NoteCook is the first amazing notebook-sized smart cooking and heating device, based on a revolutionary technology, a disruptive technology.
This technology allows to create a new cooking style concept focused on a healthy cuisine (indoor/outdoor) to be shared with your friends, as well as on green thinking.
NOTECOOK IS EXTREMELY THIN (the 2 cooking plates are only a bnit short of 1 inch thick/each), PORTABLE (extra-light) AND READY TO USE (the heating system is immediately hot). These features together have never been achieved in a unique product; we could get to this result thanks to a new technology developed over several years of research.
Thanks to our innovative and revolutionary technology you can set and monitor the correct temperature of the cooking plate, which is by itself a new concept for a cooking system, where the heat released by NoteCook gets to the very heart of the food more efficiently than any other cooking method offered by the market today.
NoteCook is high-performance system: more than 92% efficiency in transducting electrical energy into thermal energy!
The new device has got low power consumption and is not duty-cycle based: the transducing system is direct and doesn't need a high power supply, such as the 1.000-2.000 watt required for example by thermal resistances. It doesn't produce any electrosmog nor involves any electrical hazard; it is green and really eco friendly.The flat design and the thin heating core allow to create a revolutionary and extremely thin cooking plate, which can be placed on a shelf or where desired.
You can carry your NoteCook with you in a backpack and cook outdoors exactly as you would do indoors.You can use NoteCook while camping, in a motorhome, on boat, for breakfast to cook pancakes or to quickly toast some bread.
It can also be used in the office as well, for a quick business lunch with your workmates...
DESCRIPTION
NoteCook has two cooking and heating surfaces:
- A glass top for a more natural flavour
- A grill for getting a stronger and more intense flavour.
YOUR FAVORITE TEMPERATURE AND A NEW HEALTHY DELICIOUS FLAVORS.
You can select the plates temperature and use them individually or simultaneously: the heat released by NoteCook gets to the very heart of the food more efficiently than any other cooking method offered by the market today.
NoteCook is the only cooking and heating system that makes you comfortable in deciding the heat level of your cooking. You can decide to use hot, moderate or low temperatures as desired, the perfect temperature for your favourite taste.
The heat consistently penetrates the food (meat, vegetables, eggs, and so on ...), reaching the inner layer of the heating plate without denaturing proteins. Food rich taste and its original aroma remain unchanged. You can set a high, moderate or low temperature if you want to grill, cook or simply warm your food.
CREATIVE CUISINE
NoteCook lends itself to creating fun new recipes, revisiting traditional dishes and inventing new ones. A quick cooking method to share with family and friends, who will appreciate the pleasure of being together and benefiting of a light and healthy cuisine.
To get an even better taste of the innovative cooking system Notecook, we will be soon providing an e-book of the most famous traditional Italian dishes restyled for Notecook Cuisine:
EXPLORING ITALIAN RECIPES (e-Book) - # 25 italian recipes for NoteCook; From Starters to Desserts.
To get an idea, some recipes will follow in our blog!
Notecook is ideal for cooking food by placing it directly on the plates (meat, fish, vegetables, eggs, ...). To boil water or cook soups, we are currently studying tools and recipes suitable for NoteCook cooking style.
To appreciate the efficiency of Notecook’s technology watch the video "bbq with a first prototype of Notecook" (see it in next updates): in the video, using a 600 watt power, we cooked 3 steaks for 10 minutes consuming an amount of 100 watt-hours and spending 0,022 euro (cost of electricity in Italy: 0.22 € / kwh), corresponding to less than 2.5 pennies in the US.
TRADITIONAL HEATING vs NOTECOOK
Traditional heating systems require too much time to reach the Optimum Temperature (Topt) and they often get to higher temperatures (Tf) than those needed. The result is a wested of time and energy.
NoteCook is characterized by an inertia of very low response that allows to reach immediately the optimum Temperature (Topt) without wasting time.
The optimum temperature is easily maintained throughout all the desired time frame, with no waste of time nor energy.
WHY IS A DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY
NoteCook is an extraordinarily efficient cooking system that converts electricity into heat with an efficiency greater than any other technologY available on the market.
It doesn’t use gas or fuel, doesn’t exploit the phenomenon of electrical heating elements and it doesn't make use of typical inductive materials ... it is a new heat generation solution the World is not aware of yet.WHERE WE ARE...
We created the first prototype of the heating core (as shown in the above video), and we are proceeding with the implementation of the technical and industrial design of the external structure.
First design and prototypes:
The electrical part is almost completed: we have established the control parameters and the size of the panel for the temperature monitoring. We still have to design the electrical boards (we are in talks with a supplier company). By the end of December we'll have the final prototype for the last test and we will send it to the product certification practices. As we proceed, we test and retest everything.
NOTECOOK IS A GREEN TECHNOLOGY
OUR PHILOSOPHY
NoteCook is for an holistic well-being of people because it provides a healthy, natural, modern and instantaneous cooking system.OUR TEAM
Risks and challenges
Notecook isn't some far-fetched idea hacked together in a garage. We're a serious start-up with a growing full-time team, seed-funding, a production ready working prototype, and lots of exciting momentum. We've finalized designs but it is always inherently risky to create a new product, with unpredictable challenges that inevitably spring up in the development. The previous tests sessions have been conducting and iterating for one year till now, leading to the generation of multiple of a lot of prototypes, but unpredictable challenges might create delays. A large order will also stress our supply chain and although we work with established contract manufactures and part producers there is always a chance that something might go wrong. However, we are an experienced team and we’re using industry standard technology and processes. We’re confident we can address any issues as they come up and have built redundancies in our supply chain.
The technology works really fine on our prototype Notecook and every small design change undergoes extensive testing so it is possible that we will have unforeseen delays. Bringing such a new technology to market is an ambitious undertaking, and we hope that we can do this together… with you.
