Abstract:
Eggs Are Among the Most Nutritious Foods on the Planet, providing virtually all the vitamins
and minerals needed. They can be cooked in many different ways such as boiled, poached,
fried, steamed, baked and microwaved. Boiled eggs are popular all over the world normally
while breakfast. Currently at buffet breakfast, chef need to do ala carte half boiled egg as
ordered. It will consume time for chef to prepare orders. Most of the hotel not served half
boiled eggs due to lack of manpower. This study will focus on developing and design an
rotating egg steamer machine with capability of producing half-boiled and hard-boiled egg as
self service at buffet breakfast. Aluminium pot is used as the container since it is a good heat
conductor. A rail is installed in the aluminium pot and the movement is rotating vertically
from top to bottom to transport the eggs while it’s been steam. Immersion heater rod is
installed as a heat transfer medium. The design was aided by Inventor design computer
software according to the selected scope. As an improvement for further development is to
design the steamer pot that can divided the half-boiled egg and hard-boiled egg at the end of
the rail.
