[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] In the era of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), thorough hygiene and strengthening immunity have emerged as new lifestyle rules. Interest in health and immunity is increasing, including hand washing, wearing masks, maintaining a certain distance from others, and portable hand sanitizers and disinfectant sprays.

Accordingly, 'hygiene consumption' has gained attention, and as the time spent staying at home due to 'Jipkok' (staying indoors) has increased, the demand for kitchen appliances that maintain hygiene while boosting immunity has surged significantly.

Especially during this Chuseok holiday, the trend of preparing gifts non-face-to-face instead of visiting hometowns reflected these changes. In line with the changing consumer lifestyle, health kitchen appliances that help with eco-friendliness, hygiene, and immunity are popular in the upcoming New Corona era.

Natural materials, healthy and delicious cooking with natural mineral antibacterial effects

Germany's best-selling premium kitchenware brand WMF introduced the 'Fusiontec Perfect Premium,' made from a special material called 'Fusiontec,' composed of natural minerals. It is characterized by maintaining the taste, aroma, and nutrition of ingredients for a long time even under high temperature and high pressure.

Also, the antibacterial effect of natural minerals prevents the growth of harmful bacteria, providing healthier and more delicious cooking. In particular, it features an all-in-one control handle that allows even beginners to cook easily.

With natural mineral materials, simple and easy operation, and a luxurious design, it has also gained popularity as a premium Chuseok gift to express gratitude.

Lock&Lock attracted consumer attention with its 'Vacuum Rice Container,' which automatically maintains optimal vacuum pressure every three hours and controls internal temperature and humidity to keep rice fresh as when first purchased.

The 'Smart Lock System' technology maintains an optimal vacuum pressure of 20 kilopascals automatically every three hours. This technology removes internal oxygen and moisture to create a vacuum state, minimizing rice deterioration caused by air exposure.
