EGG STEAMER MACHINE

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.
