The Recipe For Invention

Invention is usually born out of need Some of the greatest kitchen gadgets of the 19th and 20th Centuries have come from need.It still continues in this century with a lot of great ideas.To be honest it's the easiest now.If you have a novel idea for making kitchen prep or storage easier , then let it be known . You'd be surprised as who's interested. Foodie Pantry encourages inventors with new ideas.If you have something you feel needs publicity, contact FP at Lizrwriter@aol.com.Samples are always welcome, along with any background info. Also if there are any new foods , treats or drinks,you can also contact us.There's nothing like being on the cutting edge with anything newly created.I've interviewed some interesting inventors like David Tennant who created the very handy and very useful Crackem along with foodie entrepreneurs who cashed in on their and their family's recipes.The blog is always on the look out for the latest inventions, trends ,techniques along with gadgets and methods. There are also other outlets in which to promote brand new ideas.There is Kickstarter which is the most honest.They have a food section where inventors, cooks and bakers can receive funding for their projects.In fact contributors raised close to fifty six million dollars supporting and funding inventors and food innovators.There have been over three thousand successfully funded Kickstarter campaigns.Everyhing from microwave egg scramblers to oyster farms have befitted from other's generosity . It 's also great way to get in on the ground floor of something big.Another site is Quirky.This is just a so so site and more of a popularity contest.On the plus side if your invnetion or foodstuff does do well you can make a lot of money.Also Quirky let's you participate in the manufacturing process of other items, from naming them to deciding on the color and price points.Kitchen inventors should absolutely stay away from Invent Help and Davidson.These two companies,probably linked or somehow related ,are the biggest scam artists ever.They pressure new inventors into buying their package for an initial one thousand dollars.Three months later they meet again with inventors and pressure them into buying the whole package deal for ten grand.Sadly they do not allow any reneging or canceling .Both companies go through a half hearted attempt in drawing brochures for the inventors project , sometimes there is literally a year's wait to hear from them again.Kickstarter is the really the best way to go. Necessity and the wish for an easier kitchen and more interesting pantry are the mothers of invention.If you have created,baked or cooked, let the world know.Also let us at the pantry.We'd be happy to help you on the road to success and stardom!
