I'm in class right now, my friend has an assignment that I did last year where he has to think of a kitchen tool that could use improvement, and then design the new version of it. So, since I'm not in the kitchen much, which kitchen tool could use improvements and what would the improvements be? I cant think of anything.

make the back burners of a stove slightly higher than the front so it's easier to reach the pots back there when you're cooking.

All kitchen knives should be about 18" long and have handles that can be held with two hands and swung from over head. They should also have a cutout on the dull side near the handle that can be used as a bottle opener. As a matter of fact every utensil in the kitchen should have a bottle opener on it.

I suppose the bottle opener could be better.........

The stove could stir stuff for you.

In the lab we have stir-plates & stir-bars. You drop a bar (they come in different sizes & shapes) into a jar of whatever you want to stir, then put the jar on the plate. The bar is magnetic, the plate has a variable speed contoller that makes the magnet spin. Stirs your stuff for you.

Slow cooking tomato sauce or soup, I've often wished for a big stir-bar for the pot. Sees like easy tech. to incorporate.

new kitchen stuff?


how 'bout installing a man that cooks in mine.



or, maybe I could just wear an apron that says
"Life is too short to cook for you people"

Hmmm... You could improve on the pizza cutter somehow. I know mine is a POS. Or create s super tool... a knife/spoon/fork/canopener/bottle opener/garbage compressor/trash can. Or how about a stove that turns itself off when there is nothing on it?

Infrared sensors over a range that detect the temperature of the food you are cooking, and adjusts the heat source accordingly.

Could also be used to prevent unattended food from burning/boiling over.

EDIT:

Purpose-built dough kneader with a ton of torque to handle large amounts of stiff dough (burned out my kitchenaid making bagel dough :mumble: )

Here are a couple nice ones; as far as improvements go, very few spring to mind.

can I have your bagel recipe?

 

[spookydave]

I don't know about imporving but what about adding tools?
I wish my kitchen had a band saw, uh I mean meat saw. A s.s. counter top with a bench vice would be a plus too.

It's from this book. Highly recommended. The recipe is like two full involved pages, otherwise I'd type it up.
