Okay, when I first saw this I knew I had to have it. It's an automatic dishmaker. The inventor, Sam Sarcia, created a machine that could quite possibly revolutionize the kitchen not only in the home, but also in restaurants and any public food court.
The machine uses non-toxic acrylic discs that come in small stacks of circular sheets. Anytime you need a bowl, plate or cup - just put in a disc, press some buttons and a minute later, TA-DAH!
So why would anyone want to make their own dishes? Well for starters, clean up is a cinch. When you're done, just throw it back into the machine. It recycles the material into new discs ready to be made into more dishes on the fly.
Although just a prototype, there are plans to continue research to make way for a more consumer friendly machine. As of now, it's as big as a dishwasher but hey, a computer once filled up a whole room just to add some numbers together.
Watch it in action!
Just to mirror a thought I saw somewhere else, which kind of occurred to me as well: All his plates are clean... What happens if the plates are dirty? Wouldn't you get plates with week-old food embedded into them? Would you have to wash them, and THEN reshape them?
"What happens if the plates are dirty? Wouldn't you get plates with week-old food embedded into them? Would you have to wash them, and THEN reshape them?"
I suspect that's why it's still in "prototype" stages since they make no mention of it. In my dreams, it washes the dishes and then recycles them.
