63.2% report using convenience cooking products, such as pre-chopped vegetables or ready-made sauces
A study observed that home-cooked meals can place significant stress on families, particularly those with lower to middle incomes.
Challenges include catering to everyone's tastes, balancing cooking time with quality family time, and providing fresh or organic produce.
Due to my personal connection with South Asian culture I was inspired by lunchboxes and food packaging that is commonly seen/used within the culture.
The Dish to base my product around is Keema and Rice with a side of Naan, Poppadom and Mint Chutney, a very famous and staple among South Asian households, as well as my personal favourite home meal.
Technical Detailing
Each packaging part aids portioning, simplifies meal prep for long-term use, and encourages beginners and children to join the cooking process
Injection moulding is ideal for precise, complex packaging and mass production with food-safe, recyclable materials.
Paper Modelling
3D Printing
Utilizing the 3D print, I successfully created the concept model to be tested repeatedly. The design also stores within the base, perfect for long term storage.
