Fufu Pot

Fufu Pot is an automated appliance designed to simplify the traditionally labor-intensive process of cooking fufu. It adapts the mechanics of a stand mixer and integrates a bottom-mounted heating element, enabling simultaneous continuous stirring and heating to achieve the desired consistency.

I developed a food-grade steel paddle core and designed the molds necessary for the silicone overcasting process. This work required balancing durability, safety, and manufacturability to create a component suitable for consistent food preparation. In parallel, I redesigned the standard KitchenAid-style connection mechanism, adapting it to ensure full compatibility with existing paddles.
