Drop – The Smart Kitchen companion

Cooking is an art and like any other art, perfection is the key. There are tools to help you attain perfection but using those tools could be a hassle. I have been in my mom’s kitchen and baking with her since I was 5. I used to be her kitchen companion and we bake cakes, cookies, bread, and much more. From what I have learnt and observed over the year I know that measurement is the key in cooking. Now there is a key difference between experience and expertise. I am experienced in cooking, but I am no expert, while my Mom is the expert. Now if am asking to bake a walnut banana cake for my son, it could end up being an over toasted cookie which may not be edible. So how do I bake that perfect cake? I have two options: I can video chat with my mom and get her expertise on the table, or I can get Drop.
