DESIGN A TOOL TO CONSUME ALOO PARATHA

Design Brief: Identification of the Problem: ďƒ’

Aloo paratha is a thick disc shaped food material. Design a tool to consume aloo paratha, avoiding the direct use of hands.

Aim of the design: ďƒ’

To make the process more easy and to reduce the time of consumption.

Observation: 

Since aloo paratha is usually a bit hard and thick its difficult to use a single tool, like spoon, fork & knife.



Use of a single tool will be more convenient for the user.



The normal time range to consume this food is from 15 to 20 minutes (with hand).



With a pair of tools like knife and fork or spoon the time is more than 20 minutes.

Analysis of the existing tools: 

Cutting the paratha is the first step to be done – knife is useful



Picking it up – spoon or fork

Concept for the design and solution: 

A combination of 2 tools: fork and knife – perfect for cutting and picking up the pieces.



The time duration is expected to be decreased up to 10 to 15 minutes.
