Stone Wave

Marketed as a cooker, it is more accurately described as a ramekin.  The difference being the “chimney” in the lid, somewhat similar to the North-African standard Tajine, which is designed to return condensation to the food inside.  Advertised widely on television recently, Stone Wave cookers are now beginning to appear in second hand stores, which is where I picked up these two.  It was (and still is) sold by the “As Seen On TV” people who are part of the TeleBrands Corp.

TeleBrands Corporation began in 1983 and has its headquarters in Fairfield, New Jersey U.S.A.  It now has multi billion-dollar turnover from direct marketing of a range of products, predominantly through television advertising.  One of the successful products is the Stone Wave Cooker.  It is made for them in China by the Ningbo LKO International Trade Company Limited Houcao Xiang No 43, Ningbo, in the province of Zhejiang.  This small company began in early 2014 and now exports most of its output to North America, Europe and the Middle East.
