Comment; This machine looks good and really big as its name 'Giant Pan', it would be great that if we can prepare meals without wasting the time in the kitchen and we can bring the food everywhere we want whenever we want to have it, it such a nice idea for the hurry lifestyle nowadays in Japan. I think they also get a large support by the citizens' feedback so that is the reason why they can develop this super machine to have more function, maybe in the future we might see this machine can do many things like become a TV, or public telephone at the same time that it is still a pan...
