CORE KIT: A SYSTEM FOR CORDLESS AND MODULAR KITCHEN APPLIANCES

Abstract

This report presents the design and development of a modular, cordless handheld kitchen appliance system aimed at addressing the evolving needs of modern households. The project responds to the challenges of limited kitchen space, appliance clutter, and the desire for versatile, user-friendly cooking tools. Through comprehensive user research and competitive analysis, the project identifies significant gaps in existing kitchen appliance offerings- particularly the lack of true modularity and unified cordless ecosystems. The proposed solution features a single, ergonomic power base compatible with a range of snap-on attachments tailored to diverse cooking tasks, including those specific to Indian cuisine. Powered by a shared, rechargeable battery, the system emphasizes portability, space efficiency, and ease of maintenance. Technical calculations and prototyping validate the feasibility of the design, ensuring optimal performance and user safety. By integrating modularity, cordless convenience, and context-specific functionality, this project offers a forward-thinking alternative to traditional kitchen appliances. The result is a cohesive ecosystem that enhances the cooking experience for urban dwellers, minimalist cooks, and anyone seeking efficiency and flexibility in the modern kitchen.
