The moment that happens in the refrigerator is also the process of cooking.

People's interest in cooking as a hobby is increasing.
This interest has led to interest in various recipes, and watching videos of various dishes on YouTube has made it possible for ordinary people to use various recipes that they have never used before.

In addition to these recipes, there are other ways to change the taste of food: storage. The taste of food varies greatly depending on the way the ingredients are stored. In the case of steaks, different flavors may be experienced depending on how the meat is aged, and in the case of fish, depending on how it is thawed and aged.




ideation
Unlike conventional refrigerators, Sinabro aims to be responsible for the process of cooking in the storage of food.
By reflecting this, the design was intended to be more like a cooking tool, 
and the interior of the kitchen was considered to give the impression of furniture.

Sinabro is a traditional Korean word that means 'slightly and little by little' without knowing.
By storing the ingredients of the food, it was named according to the product that slowly changes the taste.
simple interface
It has the ability to control temperature and storage time for ingredients to make them taste better.
To easily control temperature and time, we used a simple interface using four buttons and a display.


Use the temperature control button to fine-tune the temperature suitable for aging the material. The storage time is then set using a timer for a perfect flavor. Specify the shelf on which the timer is set using the shelf selection button, and set the timer using the time selection and adjustment button

Size considering kitchen environment
Considering the environment of the kitchen where various kitchen utensils are placed, the size was considered accordingly, assuming that they would be placed at the kitchen table or the range.
