Rivian has launched a brand new travel kitchen and it’s a seriously impressive bit of kit.
The neat kitchen includes a two-burner induction cooktop as well as ample prep-space for chopping, cutting, and slicing.
When you’re done, the whole thing neatly packs away inside a handy little bag.

The Rivian travel kitchen is perfect for camping and tailgating
Rivian vehicles have already proven resourceful and reliable—remember the R1T that recovered a 38,000-pound semi and trailer stuck in ice? Or the one that basically turned into a boat on a flooded road?
Now, to make all your camping or tailgating dreams come true, the company has launched its top-notch travel kitchen.
The portable outdoor kitchen is designed for use with Rivian cars – but will work on any flat surface with an electrical source – and is sure to impress even the most picky of home chefs.
The two-burner induction cooktop has nine adjustable heat levels and an output of up to 1500W – meaning you can sear, braise, boil, and sauté to your heart’s content.
It works with regular induction cookware – such as cast iron and magnetic stainless steel – so you won’t need to fork out for any new pots or pans.
It has plenty of room for prepping
Of course, no kitchen is complete without room for meal prep, and this travel one has plenty of space.
It even comes with a food-safe chopping board made from an environmentally friendly mix of recycled paper and wood pulp.
There’s also a slide-out drawer for your cooking bits and pieces.
Alongside all you’ll need to cook up a storm, the Rivian travel kitchen also comes with some cute little ‘hangout lights’ so you can create the perfect atmosphere for your outdoor cookout.
The lights have four brightness settings and can be strung up along your kitchen or rolled up and used like lanterns.
Smart, right?
The travel kitchen, which retails for $1,400, measures a substantial 134cm (52.95 inches) in length when open – but neatly folds down to 67cm (26.45 inches) when not in use.
It comes with a 213cm (7ft) cord and is a lightweight 18.5kg (41lbs), making it easy to carry.
We reckon even Gordon Ramsay would be impressed by one of these.
