Zero G Kitchen
Food and Hospitality in Space
Elevate your space experience, put hospitality first
The commercial space age is upon us! But if we go to space, will we enjoy it?
A good experience with food in space is important. Your life should be delicious no matter where you go in the universe.
How do we do this?
By using standard interfaces, out of this world oven technology, and a stellar team, we were able to build our first appliance, an oven to bake food, that is now installed on the International Space Station
Getting to Space
Transportation is aboard the cargo flights that regularly supply the station, either on a SpaceX Dragon or an Northrop Grumman Cygnus
Ready to Use
The Zero G Oven is installed aboard the International Space Station ready for research, experiment, education and experience. Simple to use and tested in space, it is a resource for astronauts and commercial travelers!

Cookies in Space?
Yeah, that's us
In late 2019, a set of DoubleTree chocolate chip cookies were the first items ever baked in space, a fact that drew headlines around the world. Zero G Kitchen made it happen. We're here to make the magic happen again... and again.

Ian and Jordana are a married couple who found they had a common interest through the professions they love. For Ian, it was working with space businesses and space stations. For Jordana, it was helping restaurants and hotels reach a broader audience through social media. With the growth of the commercial space industry and plans to go to the Moon and Mars, they felt that someone should start providing a higher level of food and hospitality.
They drew up a plan to build household appliances for the space station and use the power of public engagement, brand promotion to push the frontier of hospitality. The idea for Zero G Kitchen was born!
