Since the days of the cavemen sitting roasting around a fire, there’s nothing like food to bring people together! Perhaps our appliances should be built around this sentiment rather than to be shoved in a corner! The Family Multifunction Cooker is a perfect example of a communal cooking appliance. It’s cleverly designed to be operated by a group who can take equal part in the process. Whether you’re steaming, barbecuing, bailing or simply warming something up, this portable appliance makes it easy to share the experience with friends or a partner, even from the comfort of the couch!
