purpose

Have you ever wanted to flip a pancake, but don’t know how? Have you then tried and failed without knowing why? This is what the Pancake Flipper project seeks to remedy.

Value Creation

With this project, we are seeking to create value to both professional, amateur, and any other types of chef that want to cook pancakes. Pancake flips are the quintessential way of cooking both sides of a pancake, but they are not easy to achieve. Thus, we are seeking to help any chef that want to learn and/or improve their pancake flips, so that they will be able to make those fluffy discs as perfectly as possible.

This would also work for any other type of food that can be flipped in a pan (i.e. grilled cheese sandwiches, eggs, etc.) and can perfect the technique in those areas, since it is the same. We chose to center our idea around pancakes flips because they are the most recognizable and iconic.

Recommendations would be things like: "Remember to flick your wrist at the end of the motion", or "You're flip is too slow at part X and too fast at part Y". This would be a stretch goal because we would have to set a very broad net of differences so we can see which differences mean what. This could be done with a set of preset options or with an AI that learns from a set of known tosses. This would be done later down the road.
