This design for a product companion won a silver award at the Samsung Young Design awards by being both slick and useful, something we don't see quite enough of in theoretical design renderings these days. By placing any food item on the top, the hiREC will display information by either weighing it or scanning its bar code. The bottom display also shows sell-by-dates, nutritional information and recipes—making your food preparation (cooking) sessions a lot easier. You know what's even easier? Eating out. [Yanko Design]

Dare I say....I like it. And it wouldn't look stupid next to my monolith shaped coffee maker.
Because my monolith-shaped coffee maker looks stupid itself.
My god...it's full of coffee!
These sure are neat looking.
Wow, nifty little tool. My only complaint would have to be the fact that it's a rather small surface to weigh things on. I mean I know you wouldn't be weighing babies, but what about two pineapples or a pumpkin!
Maybe it has more features then I can see ;)
so I put a 2 litre orange carton on it.
and it tells me its a 2 litre carton of orange.
come on people, think about this.
I don't really see the use as a household item, but for grocery stores, delis, and less than legal pharmaceutical stores (those that sell by the pound) this might be a good choice ;)
a flat top with no sides isnt really all that practical for weighing, but assuming it comes with a little bowl, looks great.
