Automatic Cooking Machine using Arduino
Amit Kumar, Amit Prakash, Priyanka Datta, Rajesh Kumar, Anant Gopal Sharma
Abstract: ‘Automatic cooking machine’ as the name itself
implies, cooking of food automatically without any human
effort. Main aim is to make cooking easier, simple and less time
consuming.[1] The machine will have pre-loaded recipes of your
choice and the amount of ingredients will be specified in a C-
language program, so you just have to choose the recipe you
want to eat and the machine will start to prepare your food and
notify you when the food is ready.[2] In present day scenario
there is a rapid increase in inventions of machines which are
based on automation process and they are used in every sector
from home to industries. Our machine consists of induction
cooker, bowls, oil and water pump, spice dispenser and some
other components whose purpose is for stepwise addition of
ingredients and cooking the food eventually. We have newly
designed cooking pot which avoids the foods from burning. This
machine can prepare food as close as food which can be
prepared by a human hand.For communicating with the
machine, we have installed a HMI interface through which we
give command to the machine and every working process of the
machine is controlled by Arduino2560 kit. This machine can be
used in our day to day life and even in industries for mass
production of certain food products.
Index Terms: Pre-loaded recipes, C-language program,
Spice dispenser, Designed cooking pot, HMI interface.
I. INTRODUCTION
Automation process was introduced to society for human
welfare. Quality of food prepared by different individuals
differ in the taste but it is overcome in case of a machine, we
can create the same quality of food every time. We can
minimize errors and wastage of food in case of a machine.
The machine provides quality food, reduction in cooking
time and less supervision is required by the user. Industries
uses automation process in case of production of food
products over a large scale.
II. OBJECTIVES
This machine can be used either on a small scale or even on
large scale purpose i.e. it can be used in homes or even in
industries respectively.

If it is used on small scale then we can reduce the
supervision time which we give in normal cooking of our
food and we can reduce the chances of any errors which
may change the quality of food which we are preparing. If it
is used on large scale it will reduce the production time of
food products, quality is not compromised, labour cost is
decreased since there will be need of less supervision, so
ultimately industries can gain huge profits by the help of
automation process. We can store vast number of food
products in the memory of machine for the production and a
proper hygiene is maintained throughout the process.
This machine has following objectives:
Automatic cooking of food is done.
It does not use any gas so any hazard can be
avoided.
Quality of food is not compromised.
We can store variety of recipes in the memory of
machine.
Less supervision is required in food preparation
Proper Hygiene is maintained.
Reduction in wastage of food.
Mechanical Parts and its working:
1) Bowls: We will put raw food ingredients in this.
2) Liquid Containers: For dispensing of water and
oil in food preparation.
3) Main shaft: It will move the bowl carrying raw
food ingredients and dispense it into the cooking
pot.
4) Motor with pump: It gives water and oil for food
preparation into the cooking pot.
5) Induction cooker: It is used to provide different
heat temperatures to the cooking pot for food
preparation.
6) Stirrer: It rotates the food ingredients present in
the cooking pot so that the food do not get
burned.
7) Spice dispenser: It will dispense required
amount of spices and required spices into
cooking pot.
8) CookingPot: It collects the spices, raw food
ingredients, oil and water and prepares the food
inside.
Electrical Parts and its working: -
1) HMI: It is used for communicating with the
machine.
2) Arduino 2560: It supervises all the process of
the machine and every instruction is loaded in it.
3) Power Supply: It gives power to every electrical
equipment present in the machine.
4) Servo motor: It is used to move vegetables bowls
and also in spice dispenser.
5) Induction cooker:
For providing heat
to cooking pot.
6) Relay: For
