From "Hot Rods" to "Hot Tables" | How a German Car Tuning Legend Revolutionizes Cooking
(Miami, FL/CND) – Back in the 80’s, industrial designer Paul Schacht was amongst the first automobil tuning professionals who literally transformed the legendary Mercedes Benz 190 into a “Hot Rod”. For many years, Schacht’s fine Benz held the World Record for the fastest Sedan ever to roll right off the conveyor; this was only the beginning. Many more car models followed, all created to perfection with his understanding that good design has to have state-of-the-art engineering inside.
Next to his passion for fast automobiles, Schacht loves excellent food, and cooking it, too. Following his perfectionist logic, the necessary cookware has to live up to his standards as well.
“Why does one need to utilize a myriad of different pots and pans or other cookware to create just one decent, fresh and healthy meal?” he was wondering, and so Paul went to work. Along his motto “Impossible is not in my vocabulary”, Schacht dove into experimenting and developing; his goal was to make cooking and dining a fun-for-all, interactive social “Experience”, even for the cook.
And he achieved the impossible: Paul’s “Hot Table” came to fruition and he was ready to transform his new cooking concept into reality.
This state-of-the-art yet geniously straight-forward, robust technology now performs magic:
The center of the seamless, 304-stainless steel cooktop dips down slightly when hot, thus forming a shallow indentation; imagine a flat type of wok. The outer perimeter of this “appliance” safely stays cool to allow for table settings. Switched off, the “dip” vanishes like nothing ever happened, and doubles as extra prep/work space when off, or simple warming area.
Schacht’s patented design makes for a piece of unique “Cooking Furniture”, which he affectionately declared his “Hearth of the Third Millennium”. Move over, firepit!
He then developed indoor/outdoor drop in, mobile and portable models, all of which truly emulate teppanyaki-style cooking at its best. “Modern technologies have shown us that everything is possible. Mankind needs to get ready for a small cooking revolution” says Paul, smiling. Gourmets and gourmands are in for sizzling seasons.
