The 'SmartMix' bowl, designed by J. Ryan Eder and Chris Daniels of Priority Designs, is a measuring cup fused together with a mixing bowl. This clever invention allows one to measure their ingredients while preparing the recipe at the same time. This cuts out the nuisance of the measuring cup and streamlines the cooking process.
The bowl has a digital display on the rim that walks one through the steps for measuring. First, one selects the ingredient they’re about to dump in. Next, one must choose which measuring unit they wish to use such as cups or tablespoons. Finally, the bowl is reset to zero scale so the ingredients added will weigh correctly.
The SmartMix makes cooking easier so one can kiss their measuring cups and spoons goodbye.
