2. Problem Do you know how it feels to be starving and dinner is not ready on time? That happens a lot to me because my mother uses valuable cooking time looking for a recipe in her recipe box.

4. How it works I created a recipe box that has 150 different slots, and an iPad like screen on the front of the box.

When you need a recipe you just say the name of the recipe and it pops out of the box. I created a recipe box that has 150 different slots, and an iPad like screen on the front of the box.

Then I wrote the name of a recipe and the slot that it was in on the SARAN wrap. I built my prototype by covering a cardboard box with tin foil. Next, I covered some of the box with SARAN wrap.
