Americans have created some pretty cool high-tech gadgets over the years. The iPhone. The Xbox. The Kindle.
Now, get ready for some real innovation. A Seattle company has introduced the ChefStack, a $3,500 automatic pancake machine that creates "perfect panless pancakes" in a matter of seconds. In fact, the machine can spit out fat-free flapjacks at a rate of 200 per hour. Ah, you gotta love America.
ChefStack was formed earlier this year by R.J. Selfridge, a long-time food executive who spent the past 10 years as head of operations at Tully’s Coffee. The device -- about the size of a small microwave oven -- has been sold in Australia and New Zealand where it has been deployed in Marriott Hotels and the airport lounges of Qantas airlines.
The company -- which also is targeting sales in coffee shops, schools and hospitals -- writes in a press release:
Presentation and vending options to end customers are limited only by the creativity and menu selection of the ChefStack partner. From traditional restaurant-style three pancake stacks with butter and maple syrup, to mini-pancake “shooters” with eggs and meat, to fruit-filled pancake turnovers, the possibilities for customer satisfaction and profits are virtually limitless.
