At-Home Dessert Machines

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Mini Donut Factory is a Smart Automatic Contraption

— April 19, 2014 — Art & Design
The Mini Donut Factory is a smart automatic machine that creates a delicious platter of lip-smacking donuts in a short span of time. Once supplied with the donut mixture, this cooking master forms, fries and drains mouth-watering donuts within 90 seconds.

Unlike normal donut cooking, which often leads to compromises in shape if not taste, the donuts made from this super factory look and taste the same. You could either opt to have it sprinkled with cinnamon or cocoa powder or simply have it without any topping -- whatever suits your taste the most. It’s those ideal kitchen helpers that can give your tedious tasks of preparing donuts an easy makeover without losing the taste. So, next time your friends come over, give them the best homemade donuts from your own donut factory.
