Detailed Project Report (DPR) on stainless steel utensils

STAINLESS STEEL UTENSILS
 [CODE NO. 2068]  

Utensils are mainly manufactured by small and medium enterprises spread across various clusters in India and provide employment to sizeable workforce. These products are of immense daily use in the household and hence there is a large market base in India with more than 250 million households. Utensils are of many varieties and the most important of them being Kitchen Utensils used for the preparation of meals. They are used for mixing, cutting, shucking, and many other activities in the kitchen. From mixers and blenders to spatulas and whisks, there are utensils for the preparation of every type of meal, and every level of cooking. Kitchen utensils should have good cooking efficiency by the shape, size and thickness of the utensil. The utensil should be appropriate for its intended use so that the kind of heat used will be distributed evenly. This will ensure proper preparation of the food being cooked at the proper temperature. Kitchen utensils should offer versatility for everyday use. They should provide plenty of flexibility for preparing many types of meals. Durability and reliability are the two most important features of utensils, as they will stand up to wear and tear, and last a lifetime.

Utensils are very important to a household and society because we cannot live without eating so we cannot do without utensils. In fact, the utensils that are used to cook food often do more than just holding food. Quality of food, social status and etiquettes are also reflected in the kind and types of utensils used. People from the ancient time began to learn how to make cooking utensils to cook food. Cultural evolution and development of distinct societies has led to remarkably different and distinct food preferences, eating habits and customs, choice of food and serving styles. This has led to development of distinct kinds of utensils in every culture, throughout the world. Although superficially utensils across the world might come in varied designs and even more diverse sizes and of different materials, but the basic purpose of utensils remains same. Utensils are broadly classified as cookware and kitchenware.
