When not in use

Hello !
This is MURAN PR-G Iwata.

Today’s “Seeds of Ideas” introduces various tools that we use regularly.

I think that the tools that I usually use tend to pay attention to the functions and convenience when using them, but the ones that have been stored for a longer time than the actual times when those tools are actually active are rare. Is not it?

I think that a tool with some ideas when not in use is quite convenient.

For example, “Rice paddle” used in my home
There are three main features of this tool.
1. Surface treatment that makes it difficult for rice to stick even if it is not wet with water when scooping rice


[No need to wet with water]

2. Tip shape that makes it easy to scoop up rice in square containers as well as round ones


[All the rice can be collected]

3. The biggest attraction is to independent !


[Place anywhere]

By being independent, you can place it anywhere, so you can easily move on to the next task. In addition, washing is also reduced because the rice scoop is no longer needed.
In addition, there is a merit that the portion that picks up rice can be kept clean because it does not touch anywhere.
There are so many wonderful things about being independent.

Another example is “Frying pan lid”
There are also three features here.
1. Glass window that can be seen inside even if it is covered


[You can see the inside]

2. Large handle that is easy to hold


[Hold it quickly and don’t get hot]

3. And this is also independent !


[Become independent !]

This lid can be placed just like a rice scoop and no holder is required, keeping it clean.
In addition, there is an advantage that the space can be used effectively because the lid takes up space when placed horizontally.

The idea when using it is also very convenient, but I think that self-supporting when not in use has greatly improved the usability of these tools.

Isn’t it interesting to pay attention to the idea when not in use?
