In practice, we haven&#8217;t seen much of this lately; as prices soar, objects with superior design tend to be much pricier than the incumbent designs.<\/p>\n<p>Well, here&#8217;s one refreshing difference. Dutch company BARE Cookware aims to use modern materials to improve the design\u2014and price\u2014of cooking utensils. Their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/barecookware\/the-bare-dutch-oven\">BARE Dutch Oven<\/a>, recently posted to Kickstarter, does away with the pain points of traditional Dutch ovens, while coming in at a fraction of the price.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The traditional Dutch oven, invented in the 1700s, was made out of cast iron. This was a good choice for the time, as the production method was widely available. In the 1800s the innovation of an enamel finish was added, which prevented the vessel from rusting or reacting to acidic foods.<\/p>\n<p>The pain points are twofold. The first is that cast iron, while possessing excellent heat retention, is extremely heavy. This makes it tricky to handle, particularly when it&#8217;s searingly hot. The second is that the enamel finish is brittle and easily damaged. Once chipped, the damage tends to spread, and chipped enamel on Dutch ovens cannot be repaired.<\/p>\n<p>BARE has done away with both pain points. By using a two-ply construction\u2014a 5mm-thick aluminum core and stainless steel for the cooking surface&#8211;they&#8217;ve created a much lighter vessel with similar heat retention properties to a traditional Dutch oven, but without the hotspots.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Being that the interior is stainless steel, there&#8217;s no enamel to damage, and it&#8217;s dishwasher-safe. Other nice UX touches include wide handles, less draft angle for more cooking surface and measurement tickmarks on the interior.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Best of all is that these added conveniences come at a reduced cost, compared to premium brands. A Dutch oven from Le Creuset or Staub can run from the mid-$300s to over $500. BARE&#8217;s offering is going for $148 on Kickstarter, where it&#8217;s been a smash hit, landing $610K in pledges and counting. At press time there was 22 days left to pledge, and they expect to ship in November.<\/p>\n<p> <em><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"at_end\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The original promise of industrial design, as a profession, was to apply intelligent design decisions and an advanced understanding of materials to create better products that are affordable for the masses.
