Kitchen tool design

[riley gilham]

Hello people. I have a design for a cool kitchen tool that helps to cut more than one cookie at once and make sure you have perfect and even cookies . Let me know what u think

Hello riley gilham and welcome. I am assuming you are a student seeking feedback.

It seems like a reasonable idea. What I wondered was why the arrangement of circular cutters wasn't in a square or rectangular shape. Is there a reason for that?

 

[riley gilham]

yes I am a student , I thought about the circles as that is the original cookie shape and what people would want most

 

[riley gilham]

Do you think it would be a good business idea

A single cookie cutter usually needs to be dipped into flour every so often when cutting out a batch of cookies.

I could see this being an issue with the design. I’m not sure how easily your device would fit into a bag of flour.

Maybe there is an option to spread the flower onto the cutters

Good point. Best shape then would be rectangular to fit into the top of a fully opened bag. Of course then you're contaminating the bag of flour with the ingredients used to make the cookies. If you pour some flour out some of it's going to be waste.

What do you imply that i should do

 

[riley gilham]

Also a traditional cookie shape is a circle ,don’t you think I should stick with that

 

[TastyReuben]

You could do something like this:

Thing is…standard cookie cutter size is usually around 2-3 inches (5-8 cm, maybe?), so any design is going to be fairly large…maybe trim it down to four cutters? That’s still going 4x as fast.

As to whether it’s a good business idea, I’m sure it would appeal to a certain segment. Something like that is what those “As Seen on TV” shops thrive on. My sis, for example, loves all the latest and greatest kitchen gadgets. She’d buy one, I’m sure!

Is 9 cutters not taking up to much space ?

 

[riley gilham]

Thank you for help also

Here I just traced around a 5 lb. bag of flour. You'd have to make the device a bit smaller since the flour bag won't ever be open fully as at manufacturing but you could still get 6 cutters just a might smaller than 2" like TastyReuben was saying.
