The topic of this master thesis is the historical investigation of kitchen tools that
evolved towards a multifunctional nature. The history of kitchen tools will be
discussed with particular attention given to industrialization, technological
developments and the effects of mechanization.
Following this analysis, there will be a classification that could serve as a resource
material for future studies, made according to the activity flow within the kitchen,
in order to understand the interrelations within and between these products.
This classification will be put forward in the form of a visual table that includes
morphological analyses of specifically mixing and beating tools under the topic of
food preparation, how they developed historically following the industrial
revolution, and how they carry a tendency to become increasingly multifunctional.
According to this table, the dispositions and interrelations of these products will
be considered, concluding with a situational analysis and previsions for future
designs and studies.
