Whether it was cars, refrigerators, houses, or people, there was once a day and age where everything seemed to be getting bigger. Nowadays, it’s shrinking appliances designed for shrinking living spaces kinda… it kinda makes you wonder if the next generation of people is going to start shrinking too! The latest in a trend of space-saving cooking systems, MACS (Micro Apartment Cooking System) merges everything you need to cook stovetop-style into one convenient in-counter package. Beyond the valuable space savings, the design also makes the cooking process easier. The pots, pans, hobs, and even the exhaust hood are all there. Cooking vessels of different size are recessed into the countertop to save even more space and to round out the minimalistic look. Users no longer have to worry about knocking over a pan or grabbing something too hot to touch. Better yet, you can peer into the pan or pot without tiptoeing to see over the rim!
