Week 1- Entrepreneurship

In a fast and growing economy, companies strive to find ways to keep themselves ahead of the game and put themselves ahead of the competition. The best way to stay ahead of the competition is through the internet. Using various forms of social media such as Twitter, Facebook, and even YouTube. With these forms of social media, companies are able to communicate with the general public about new and upcoming products, promotions, sales, and anything that will attract customers to buy their products. The internet and social media is the heart and the start of entrepreneurship and like King Midas, it can turn any idea into gold.
Since we are using the internet, some or many people are familiar with YouTube and it's entertainers. Frequent video makers have created the term "vlog" which is a blog but in video form. Some video makers are just making video for fun or for money. A popular video maker is EpicMealTime. They are a bunch of Canadian guys who like to create monstrous meals using various types of meat, candy, sauce, and bacon. EpicMealTime uses bacon in every one of their gargantuan creations and i think that it would be wise to create a bacon flip machine.
This bacon flip machine will consist of an oven and 4 flip stations inside the oven with each flip station consisting of two steel sheets with tiny holes in them. In preparing the bacon, the bacon will be put in between the two sheets of steel and they will be put into the oven. Since baking bacon will amount to lots of bacon grease, there will be a tray at the bottom of the oven to collect all the bacon grease so that bacon lovers can save the grease for later and use it in various alcoholic concoctions or salad dressing. The bacon flip machine will flip the bacon twice during each cooking session and it will result in fresh and beautifully made bacon with no need for aluminum foil or massive amounts of soap.
The whole point of this bacon flip machine is to make bacon easy to make without all the hassle of washing and degreasing the bacon. It's fast, it's efficient and it savors every part of the bacon without hurting the bacon. Many times, when people bake bacon in the oven in a pan, the grease that is generated from the bacon will be absorbed by the bacon, making the bacon too greasy and too disgusting to eat. The Bacon Flip Machine will help to save the bacon from too much grease while having just enough grease to make any meal a monstrous meal.

    It's awesome the amount of detail that you went into about the intricacies of a bacon flipper,a product that when i first started reading your blog i did not think would be nearly as complex or have as many components as you just described. I am sure that once you got this product working correctly that you could branch it out into an omelet maker or other types of food. Makes me hungry.

    I am mean who doesn't love bacon so I think it's a cool idea. I like that you incorporated a pan to collect grease because no one likes to clean the grease. Also, I like the fact that Bacon Flip Machine tends to the issue of "too greasy" bacon because no one likes to have to dab their bacon in paper towel before eating, that's no fun.

    This is a pretty interesting idea. Due to the fact that I am lazy a bacon flipper definitely is a good choice. Having a grease pan is also a good idea for people who do not like to wash dishes. I would definitely buy this product.- Christopher Peters

    Hello Terry.
    I agree with many of the people above me. Your bacon flipper idea can easily be loved by the bacon lovers. Usually when people cook their bacon, they have to watch it carefully so that it doesn't burn and oil jumps everywhere. You even said that there will be a tray on the bottom of the flipper to catch the grease and oil bacon excretes. This feature reminds me of a lean grill where the grease and oil get squished out off the grill into a small pan as well. I never thought about creating a grill-like device that cooks bacon. This idea is definitely something new and innovative for our society because bacon is such a huge contributor to "the all-American breakfast." Thanks for sharing!

    I love how you managed to use bacon as a root for an entrepreneurship idea. As a bacon lover, I sincerely hope this idea comes true. I can see you put a lot of thought into this and just how one can get a perfectly cooked piece of bacon. As mentioned above, if you could branch it out to multitask with other foods, it would be great. I also love how you took into consideration the bacon dripping and its many delicious uses and possibility of decreasing mess. I wish I had this product right now... and bacon too.
