Now, Wallace and Gromit-style gadget that cooks breakfast automatically!

London, Oct 28 (ANI): For all those people who feel too lazy to prepare their own morning meals, scientists have come up with a machine in the style of Wallace and Gromit that automatically cooks breakfast, including an omelette, toast and freshly squeezed orange juice.

The 15-metre long device was created by Yuri Suzuki, 26, a design teacher in London, who worked at the Royal College of Art, along with Masa Kimura, 28.

The gadget was developed in the Platform 21 exhibition centre in Amsterdam in the Netherlands and saw scores of helpers and other designers contribute.

It cooks up omelettes from scratch before toasting bread, which it can butter and add jam to - depending on taste.

Also, the early morning pick-me up of coffee is available at no extra effort - as well as freshly squeezed orange juice.

Suzuki, who was born in Tokyo and has lived in Hackney, east London, for three years, said that Hollywood films had inspired him to come up with the device.

He also said that it should be possible for lazy people to come up with their own version of the device.

"If someone wanted to make one for themselves it might not leave you that out of pocket," the Telegraph quoted him as saying.

"We bought a lot of the stuff from a car boot sale, so it didn't cost that much - in total the project was probably 900 pounds.

"When you look at movies like Pee Wee Herman and Back to the Future, there are breakfast machines in them.

"It was completely automated, it worked on its own - I felt like the conductor at the event when we were putting it together.

"We had lots of different people come and help us out with putting it together.

"People came and we would task them with coming up with different bits of it.

"It is absolutely massive and is 13 metres by three metres and in total took 88 hours to build, spread over 11 days - it was an incredible effort," he added. (ANI)
