Kenyan Engineer designs machine that cooks ugali (Video)

There was mixed reaction as Kenyans on social media shared their views amid an innovation in Kakamega County where an engineer has designed a machine that can reportedly cook ugali in 3 minutes.

Ugali is Kenya’s staple meal, even though the format for its preparations varies in the communities.

In a video on social media, a man is seen mixing the maize flour in a cooking pot.

Instead of using a cooking stick (mwiko) to prepare the meal, he instead has a mixer connected to electricity at his luxury.

The post mentioned that the meal is prepared in three minutes instead of the usual 10, a statement that made most of the readers take note.

I’m sorry but all I see is manual labour that’s no different from the conventional way of cooking ugali. Only departure from the norm is the “electronic” mwiko https://t.co/16ZDeouB67
