The kitchenware maker Miyazaki Seisakusho Co. - or Miyaco, for short - partnered with master culinarian and Iron Chef commentator Yukio Hattori to develop their Geo line of pots and pans.
Their goal? To create stainless steel cookware so effortless to wield that it would encourage a whole new generation of aspiring chefs to embrace the art of cooking, improving in them "the health of the body and the richness of the mind."
