| DESIGN NAME: MeasurKer PRIMARY FUNCTION: Spice Shaker INSPIRATION: The form of the black hole of this spice shaker has been inspired by "black hole concentration," and this word has been used first by Paulo Coelho in the book The Devil and Miss Prym. In addition to beauty, this form simplifies the pouring spice process and induces a sense of concentration. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: MeasurKer is a minimal spice shaker with a simple mechanism to need less shake the spice shaker and increase the chefs' accuracy when adding flavors to the food, especially when the spice inside is little. Food is no longer thrown away with this product due to tastelessness or fullness of taste. The bottom part of this double-side shaker has a mechanism that allows the user to add spices according to the standard measuring spoons. The top part works like a simple spice shaker. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This spice shaker can be used from both sides. At the bottom of the shaker, there is a mechanism that allows the user by rotating the degreed wheel to add spices according to the standard measuring spoons (from 1|8 Tsp to 2.5 Tbsp). The top part works like a simple spice shaker that, by rotating the lid, can adjust the size of the holes. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: It started in Esfahan, Iran in September 2021 and finished in December 2021. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: This design has six main plastic pieces produced by the plastic molding method. At the bottom is a sloping space that directs the spices to the center while shaking, and the spices are always stored at a higher level in the center. Therefore, the spice comes out from both sides more accurately and needs less shake, especially when the spice inside is little. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Width 65 mm x Depth 65 mm x Height 125 mm TAGS: Spice Shaker, standard measuring spoons, Nature, black hole, salt, black hole concentration RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The abstracts of the research that led to the design of this product include: 1) Every year, a significant amount of food is discarded due to excessive spice or tastelessness. 2) Spice shakers are always bothering cooks, specifically when the shakers have a low amount of spice. 3) Every year, a massive amount of plastic has been used to make measure spoons and spice shakers that throw away because of their low quality. CHALLENGE: The main challenge of this project: 1) Designing a beautiful spice shaker to facilitate adding even when there is little spice in it. Designing a mechanism for adding spices according to standard spoons with the help of university professors has been solved.
