Flip Flop: The Adjustable Gas Cooker

Revolutionizing the Way You Cook

Introducing Flip Flop, the innovative gas cooker designed by Bülent Ünal that brings convenience and versatility to your kitchen.

Have you ever struggled with finding the right size burner for your kitchen utensils? Flip Flop is here to solve that problem. Inspired by the need for adjustable heat settings, this gas cooker allows you to heat various sizes of kitchen utensils on the same burner.

What sets Flip Flop apart from other gas cookers is its unique design. With the simple opening and closing of its wings, you can adjust the diameter of the heating area by up to 50%. This means that you can use a small coffeepot on the closed wings and a larger saucepan on the open wings, all on the same burner.

Flip Flop is not only adjustable in diameter but also in flame intensity. With a single control button, you can easily adjust the intensity of the flame to suit your cooking needs. This feature allows for precise control over the heat, ensuring that your dishes are cooked to perfection.

Implementing Flip Flop in your kitchen is a breeze. The design is compatible with existing production and engineering knowledge, making it easy to incorporate into your cooking space. Its user-friendly interface and simple operation make it suitable for anyone, from professional chefs to home cooks.

The Flip Flop project started in June 2015 in Ankara and was completed in December of the same year. Throughout the design process, extensive research was conducted to ensure that the product met the needs and requirements of users. The main objective was to create a gas cooker that could easily adjust its diameter with a simple touch, simplifying the cooking process and saving time.

Flip Flop overcame various challenges during its development, including the manufacturing process of metal forming for the cap and wings, as well as the integration of all components. These challenges were successfully overcome, resulting in a sleek and functional gas cooker that is sure to enhance your cooking experience.

Flip Flop has been recognized for its outstanding design and creativity. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Idea and Conceptual Design category in 2017. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

Experience the convenience and versatility of Flip Flop in your kitchen. Say goodbye to the hassle of mismatched burners and hello to a new level of cooking efficiency.
