Shake and Bake:

Preliminary Design Report

October 12, 2011

Principles of Operation

The ingredient dispenser will store six different ingredients (flour, white sugar, brown

sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder) in sealed containers made of FDA-approved

materials. It will take input from the user, allowing measurements to be specified in cups,

tablespoons, teaspoons, or grams. It will then dispense the ingredients in amounts accurate to

within 5% of the user input. It will store at least five recipes in memory, allowing the user to

recall them instead of manually entering commonly used recipes repeatedly. The machine will

communicate with the user visually via a LCD screen.

The device will perform more quickly than a human measuring by hand (including

retrieving, using, washing and putting away necessary instruments). It will dispense one cup of

flour, white sugar, or brown sugar in 75 s or less and one tablespoon of salt, baking soda or

baking powder in 75 s or less. The containers will be easily detachable, making them easy to

clean. The finished structure will be easy to move and store, weighing no more than 15 kg when

empty, and having dimensions no more than 0.5 m wide by 1.0 m long. It will be no noisier than

other kitchen appliances, producing less than 90 dB at a distance of 1 m.
