Edible Utensil Appliances

The Edible Spoon Maker Transforms Pre-Made Dough into Snacking Tools

— February 17, 2016 — Lifestyle
Designers and restaurateurs often introduce edible utensils and bowls to enhance an eating experience, but the Edible Spoon Maker is a tool that makes it possible for people at home to elevate food as well.

In terms of form , the Edible Spoon Maker resembles something like a waffle iron. What makes this creation especially genius is the dough that can be used in the mold, including pre-made types from major brands like Pillsbury, Pepperidge Farm and Dufour. For this purpose, the machine comes with a spoon-shaped cookie cutter that can be used to form the basic shapes to be inserted into the molds.

Spices can be added to the dough before serving, which makes it possible for consumers to create customized sweet spoons for eating cereal or yogurt, as well as savory ones for eating soups and rice dishes.
Trend Themes
1. DIY Edible Utensil Kits - The development of DIY edible utensil kits for home use creates an opportunity for companies to innovate in the kitchen appliance space.
2. Personalized Edible Cutlery - The ability to add spices and flavorings creates an opportunity for companies to create personalized edible cutlery options for consumers.
3. Sustainable Food Packaging Alternatives - The Edible Spoon Maker inspires the development of more sustainable food packaging alternatives that are not only functional but also edible.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchen Appliance - The Edible Spoon Maker introduces a new kind of kitchen appliance that can be marketed to home cooks and food enthusiasts.
2. Food Manufacturing - Food manufacturers can capitalize on the popularity of edible utensils by creating pre-made dough and flavorings to be used with the Edible Spoon Maker.
3. Sustainable Packaging - The development of edible utensils and bowls creates an opportunity for companies in the sustainable packaging industry to innovate and create more eco-friendly options for consumers.
