    Introducing… Hatch

    By andy at 12:00 pm

    Ready to get eco-friendly and preserve your delicious fruits and veggies? Hatch is a serving bowl that eliminates the need for plastic wrap and keeps your food fresher, longer. With an attached “peel back” top (inspired by fruit itself) and collapsable functionality, it stores foods, seals tightly for protection, keeps out those pesky gnats, and consolidates for easy storage.

    David Cole envisioned an eco-friendly bowl to rethink how we handle food and its storage. Over 1,900 people came together to make this product a reality. Hatch is now available in the Quirky shop for $10.99  presale ($12.99 retail) with a threshold of 1,200 units.

    -Removable lid for easy cleaning
    -Locking mechanism keeps lid securely closed
    -Protects food from bugs, dust, and dirt
    -Great for outdoor and indoor use
    -Suitable for stylish entertaining
    -Space efficient
    -BPA-free
    -Dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe

    Materials:
    -High-gloss plastic
    -TPE Lid

    Dimensions:
    -10″ x 5.5″
    -3.5 quart capacity

    Price, qty and features subject to change during production process. 
    Your credit card will not be charged when a commitment is placed.

    Prophecy has foretold that on Monday afternoon the top five voted submissions from the previous week’s Community Evaluation would reveal themselves in the form of a blog post. If not listed, submissions in these rounds may still be chosen as Wildcard selections.

    Congratulations to this week’s contenders:

    Product Round 187

    Bernadette Weston – USB Wall Socket
    Jon Buczak – Mirror Image Taker
    David Lightner – Microwave Rack
    Ron Beaupre – Snowball/Water Balloon Launcher
    OrdinaryGirl – Magnetic Picture Frames

    Back To School (Product Round 188)

    Angelo Cacchione – Backpack/Lunchbox Combo
    Luke Martin – Compartment Lunchbox
    Peter A. Wachtel – Creative Lunchbox
    Shannon Justice – Foldable Rain Shield
    Denny Fong – Improved Backpack

    These brave submissions have conquered the hearts and votes of the Quirky Community, but their arduous journey from sketch to store has only just begun. They must now test their might against the brutal truth of DMV as well as unforeseen challenges from the enigmatic Wildcards.

    Who will emerge victorious? Only time (and a future blog post) will tell.

    Hey guys and gals!

    My name is Andy Garcia (not the actor). I’m the newest addition to Quirky, and I’m pumped as heck about it. I proudly hail from northern New Jersey — but I don’t sport a fake tan, have abnormally large muscles, or own an Ed Hardy t-shirt. I’m a pretty normal dude actually. I’m a lover of independent music of all genres, I play electric guitar, I’m a hobby photographer, and I’m a deep thinker. Last important tidbit: I’m a 2009 alum of The College of New Jersey and I miss it so much — Go Lions!

    So, I’ve been brought on to the Quirky team as a Community Ambassador, and I’m excited to interact with the community and be a witness to the awesomeness that the community (along with the Quirky team) is creating. I’m honored to be a part of this movement and I’m looking forward to the challenges and rewards that the work will bring!
