BRUNO Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and President: Toru Shiota), which plans, develops, and sells lifestyle products under the concept of 'connecting fun', has released a 'home cooking cost verification using cooking appliances'. As cost-of-living defense awareness rises due to successive price hikes, this verification aims to achieve both 'taipa' (time efficiency) and 'cospa' (cost performance) to smartly and enjoyably protect the household budget.

In this project, we conducted a cost comparison simulation using 4 popular cooking appliances, including the new 'Grater Plate' released in March.
In response to the question 'Is home cooking really cost-effective?', we propose a 'new home cooking life' that changes with the presence of BRUNO, along with specific numerical values.
